Architecture 101. What is a Gable Roof?

Setting Goals for Function and Flow in Your Dream Home
By setting clear goals for Function and Flow, you're laying the foundation for a home that truly works for you. Collaborate with your architect to translate these goals into actionable designs.

Choosing the Right Foundation For Your Home
Designing your dream home is all about making choices that reflect your lifestyle, site conditions, and long-term goals.

Ask An Architect: Real Answers and Deep Dives from Our June Live Webinar
On June 18th, James Knight and I re-launched our new monthly "Ask An Architect" webinar series. We were joined by two of our clients to discuss the design/build process and their own experiences with their homes so far.
At Reynard Custom Homes, we understand that designing a truly custom home is a deeply personal journey. It's a process that requires partnership, expertise, and some hard work on the part of both the architect and the client. It's not for the faint of heart.


Defining Your Home's Design Aesthetic
An "aesthetic" refers to your collection of principles and the guiding influence behind your home's appearance and ambiance.
As aesthetics are subjective, it's crucial to understand and remain true to your tastes and opinions since you will be the one experiencing your design decisions daily. It's important to think through the implications carefully when choosing the stylistic options that will best suit your home's layout, environment, and, most importantly, your budget.
