OUR PROCESS
From Land to Design
Every great home begins with the land it sits on and a vision that is uniquely yours.
Land & Site Analysis
No Two Sites Are the Same
Each site offers unique attributes that define your future home's relationship with its environment. Our job is to recognize, preserve, and glorify all that is special to your site so that the outside can be enjoyed from within. This is why our process always starts with your land.
Once you have acquired your land, an Acorn Deck House Company Project Director will analyze your site and explore its natural features to unlock its full potential.
What We Consider
Site Analysis in Depth
Our site analysis considers many aspects of your land to ensure your home emerges naturally from its surroundings — as if it were always there.
How should your home be situated to take full advantage of views, or conversely, avoid an unwanted sight?
Which spaces should reap the benefits of passive solar warmth? Which should showcase morning or afternoon light?
How can the slope of the land be used to its best advantage? How will the land frame the house?
How can major trees be preserved? How can natural boundaries be incorporated into the design?
What is the building envelope? We ensure your home is positioned to comply with all local regulations.
How will the land frame the house? How can the house and walkways be artfully positioned on the site?
