Modern Custom Home Designs

There are no templates for Modern Architecture. That’s why we work closely with our clients to turn their custom dream home designs into reality. Together, we pursue singularity in concept and form. Clean and simple, but also beautiful and rich. We put an emphasis on the expression of each design, removing unnecessary clutter. That allows us to hone in on our clients’ vision, concepts and needs.  We specialize in sustainable, green design for residential and commercial projects of any scale or budget. We love the challenge of small projects. 

Process

Magnin Architecture is a full-service design firm. That means we work with our clients from the earliest concept stages and encourage dialogue and inquiry. All questions matter and oftentimes inform and add richness to the work and process. We’re part of every step of the planning process, from land selection to feasibility studies. We consider the site, orientation, views and keeping a sensitive footprint that fits naturally with the environment. Together with our clients we choose the best materials to fit their project. We make use of environmental factors to support the driving architectural and interior concepts and bring all of this information to the design phase where the structure starts to come to. Most of all, we want the design process to be enjoyable for our clients, so we make it a unique, creative and collaborative experience.

Technology

Magnin Architecture is a Revit based/building information modeling (BIM) office. We start all of our projects in 3D, which is presented to clients in earliest design meetings.  We find this technology and approach to be very helpful for those that have difficulty in reading floor plans or other modes of architectural representation.  We create digital walk-throughs and animations to take you inside of your project before it is built, which allows us to iterate design options quickly and clearly, but more importantly, communicate to the client all aspects of the design.  This technology also allows us to hire a consultant team that also works in BIM and can coordinate directly from our 3D model and avoid conflicts and errors in the construction drawings, which would be hard to detect otherwise.  Our office prides itself on being tech savvy, we are available for any method of communication to engage with his clients and keep the dialogue going throughout the project.
