Where Exceptional Homes Begin, with Design

Before starting to design your home, we do a pre-design site visit free of charge. Why? Because your land or property plays an important role in the energy-efficient features and building cost of your house. We evaluate the best orientation to enjoy free energy from the sun in the winter yet shade in the summer, elevation changes, Trees, shrubs, large rocks, microclimates, streets/roads/utilities. Every home we design is thoughtfully placed in harmony with nature, creating a peaceful balance between your lifestyle and the environment.

A Custom Plan Tailored to Your Lifestyle and Built for Efficiency

At The Stitt Group, we believe your home should be designed around your life, not built from a one-size-fits-all blueprint. That’s why we work closely with you to create a custom home plan that reflects your vision, lifestyle, and budget while delivering long-term energy savings and comfort.

Every home we design is carefully planned to maximize your property’s natural advantages. We study the orientation of your lot to take advantage of the sun’s natural heat during the winter while reducing unwanted heat gain in the summer. This smart design approach helps improve comfort year-round and lowers heating and cooling costs for decades to come.

Our in-house design team uses detailed 3D modeling technology so you can clearly visualize your future home before construction begins. Whether you’re planning for aging in place, creating space for multiple generations, adding a safe room for peace of mind, or simply building your forever home, we design every detail to support the way you want to live.

Throughout the entire process, we maintain open and transparent communication about financing, construction costs, and available options. Our team will guide you through smart, cost-effective decisions that help protect your investment while keeping your project aligned with your goals.

Once your preliminary plans are complete, we’ll stake out the home directly on your property so you can experience how it fits naturally within the landscape, views, sunlight, and surroundings before construction begins.
