Custom Design Process
Survey Plat
Your lot's survey plat is the most definitive resource that will determine your new home design. Subdivision and city restrictions may limit and define the building footprint. A custom design can highlight your site's best features, and mitigate any disadvantages. Your custom home design will make the most of water views and orientation to sunrises or sunsets.
An Elevation Certificate or Natural Ground Letter (also provided by RPL Surveyor) will define Flood Zone and height of house requirements.
Define Priorities
What features will you desire in your new island home: Will you entertain a lot? Do you anticipate overnight guests; family or friends? Is there a specific number of bedrooms and baths that will provide for guests, or would a flex space serve multiple purposes? Your entertaining style may change once you take up residence at the beach!
Your Ideas
Bring snapshots, magazine clippings that illustrate your style, and features you would like implemented in your custom design. HOUZZ.com and Pinterest are good ways to document your interests.
Long distance design
Seaside Home Design has experience working with out of town and out of state clients. Your home design will be communicated via email, in plan views as well as 3D perspectives, keeping you up-to-date even if we can't meet on the island while your project is underway.
