We're not out here winning design awards..
but we keep your contractors efficient and your neighbors talking!
DESIGN VALUES
“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.”
- John Muir, Co-founder of the Sierra Club
PURPOSE-DRIVEN RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE
PRAGMATISM
Given the choice, we'd rather be PROBLEM SOLVERS over CREATIVES any day.
The ballast to our strategy is always meeting the design problem with a constructable solution.
There are no romantic designers here. We're just getting things done.
COMMUNICATION
Architecture is like chartering a ship. We've got the tools and skills to get you where YOU want to go. Don't know your destination? We'll figure it out together. You always remain in control of your project.
From sketching ideas out right in front of you, to regular updates, we keep you on the same page with the design team and builders all the way through the process.
NATURALISM
We're back to roots with material selection.
Half a million years of architectural evolution, capped by two centuries of commercial-industrial vomit.
There's a better way, and we're after it. Applying modern science to natural materials, we can achieve contemporary comfort and minimal impact.
PERFORMANCE
Building Performance isn't just a label your designer traded credits for. It's more than how tight your windows are, or the manufacturer's 30-yr warrantee.
A high performance building is not only energy-efficient, but it gives YOU energy to live the life you want.
A great house is the one that sets you FREE.
Design is a tool.
lets use it to change your life.
This means no 8,000 square foot mansions. Full stop.
We find our niche with the builders looking to optimize their process for the weeks ahead; with the couple trading ideas back and forth across the kitchen table after a long day's work; with the adventure-seekers looking for a base camp for the next chapter of their lives; and with those looking to make a difference.
​We serve the people who care.
THE STUDIO
Drawn Home
began as a rendering and fine art studio back in 2018. We transitioned to residential design services in 2024. Yeah, we're the new kid on the block, but we're already making waves and changing lives.
That's why we do this, after all.
​
Field-tested
visually scientific
artistically
proficient
knowledge hungry
Tech Adaptive
Certified bags-wearing, hammer-swinging, hands-on construction experience was more informative than any college course. Can you really design for ease-of-construction if you haven't pulled a 1700s house into square?
Ever wonder why spaces give you feelings? Confused over the differences between pigmented, dyed or structural colors? Wondering about how the chemical difference between drywall and plaster affect performance?
Design is an art backed by science, and we treat it accordingly.
Drawings are the primary way we communicate designs back and forth. We'll start developing your dreams with a pen before moving to advanced tools. Having the background in Fine Art is tremendously helpful.
The Studio library sits at over 250 industry books and continues to grow and adapt as we do. These texts are commonly referenced in daily practice.
Whether its data-analysis powered by AI, or reviewing your new space in augmented reality from your kitchen table, we're tweaking our workflow to give you a better experience.
This is Pete
He Runs the Show
Seen here basking in a rare sun-lit break from studio work, Pete earned his Bachelors degree in Architecture back in 2013 specializing in mathematics and building performance.
He believes places contain magic and people prosper through their environment.
He paints, builds, tells stories, and keeps his kids from running into traffic.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete..”
