Architects and custom home designers in Tucson

Finding the right designer for your new custom home is a very important part of your land search. Although it is not necessary to choose an architect or designer before you purchase your land, it may help you in refining your land search.
Your custom home plan should be drawn to fit your lot, which means you will need to own your land before you can begin thinking seriously about the layout of your home. Some important factors to keep in mind when evaluating land in Tucson and how your home site in Tucson will affect your future home plans are:
- what size home can go on the lot?
- what hoa restrictions are there that will impact the design?
- what is the style of homes in the surrounding area?
- can the house be situated to take advantage of views?
- will your design require structural elements such as retaining walls?

Designing a home in Tucson requires an firm grasp of both the aesthetic style of the area as well as the limitations and constraints imposed by Tucson's unique geology and home owner's associations.

Most luxury developments in Tucson will require an extensive review process of your home plans before you can begin construction. Your plans are usually submitted to a reviewing architect as well as a review committee made up of residents in the community. The purpose of this review is to insure that the design of your home, including color, light fixtures, roof style, and height, conform to the homes in the surrounding area.

Your designer should be familiar with the HOA requirements as well as the limitations of your lot before he or she begins working on developing your custom home design.
