Design freely.
Get drawings when you're ready.

Design on your lot, revise as much as you want, and move forward only when you're happy with the layout.

How it works

01

Design and explore

Design on your actual lot. Move rooms, resize spaces, and test ideas freely.

02

Decide when it's ready

Refine until it feels right. We'll review the layout with you before drawings begin.

03

Get your drawing set

We turn the agreed design into detailed drawings for permitting.

Design first. Pay for drawings later.

Traditional process

  • Pay while you're still figuring out the plan
  • Changes can add time and fees
  • Commit before exploring enough options
  • Stock plans rarely fit your lot or needs

With Kettlinger Studio

  • Work through the layout yourself
  • Revise without paying for every change
  • Design on your actual lot
  • Move into drawings only when you're ready

Common questions

Are you an architecture firm?

No. Kettlinger Studio is not an architecture or engineering firm and does not provide services requiring those licenses. We bring 10+ years of residential design experience, from modest homes to high-end custom projects. We only accept projects that fit our scope and confirm eligibility before you pay for drawing work.

What's actually in the design drawing set?

Typically: dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations, sections, schedules, and a conceptual site plan, plus up to 3 design reviews. Structural and MEP engineering are separate.

Do you handle site design?

We include a conceptual site plan showing home placement and setbacks. Surveying, grading, drainage, utilities, and other civil work are separate.

Why does everything start with a call?

To confirm fit, answer questions, and get you set up. If we can't take the project, we'll tell you before you spend money.

What if I already have a design and just want the drawing set?

That's fine. Send us what you have and we can quote the drawing set directly.

Which states do you work in?

We serve selected jurisdictions based on project type and local requirements. We'll confirm eligibility on the intro call before you pay.
