Our Pinecrest Design Process

Every custom home in Pinecrest is shaped by its lot. Here's how we take a project from first conversation through design, permitting, and the finished build.

Consultation

We start by understanding your vision, the property, your budget, and your timeline. Pinecrest's large estate lots offer space and privacy to work with, so we assess the site, setbacks, and how the home sits within the landscape before outlining what's possible.

Design

From schematic concepts to detailed development. Floor plans, materials, and finishes are refined into a complete home, designed to take advantage of the lot's scale and low-density setting and built for South Florida's climate, with shading, ventilation, and indoor-outdoor living throughout.

Frequently asked questions.

  • Do you design homes for Pinecrest's larger estate lots?

    Yes. Pinecrest's large, low-density lots are central to how we design here, giving room for single-level layouts, courtyards, pools, and generous outdoor living. We design custom homes, estates, renovations, and additions that take full advantage of the space and privacy these properties offer.
