New Leaf Design Studio Seals The Gaps in Custom Home Building And Design Across The US

Share News:

The concept of a one-stop shop builder’s design studio is not new: building a custom home is a complicated process that begins with an architectural plan and demands hundreds of structural and design questions, all coming together in critical layers on a tight time schedule. 

About twenty years ago, builders created the concept of design studios to help clients manage all the choices and bridge the gap from architects/designers to contractors and implementation. 

New Leaf Custom Homes was one of them: the luxury home builder opened the New Leaf Design Studio in 2014, at 9840 North Central Expressway, to handle the entire design package for client’s custom homes, everything from floor plans, architectural construction documents, and permit drawings, custom cabinet drawings down to interior finishes and landscaping.

A First: The Design Shop Experience Now Available Nationwide

Now, for the first time, The Design Shop is available to home builders anywhere, in any state— for clients who want custom-designed homes and a seamless building experience. The gist: the company wanted to be able to provide comprehensive design services to clients anywhere in the nation and for any a la carte services. Opening the design shop guarantees a full service or a la cart design service all over the nation.

Clients can choose anything from time-tested custom design plans to furnishing and styling only. The Design Shop is 100% able to reach a wider swath of people outside of the local custom home building realm.

“In the years we’ve been in business, we’ve designed hundreds of projects from small kitchen renovations to 8,000-plus-square-foot luxury homes,” says Ryland Clark, Director of Business Development. “The thing that makes us so unique is that we have, over the years, created some of the best construction documents in the country. They’re incredibly easy to understand and no detail is left out, making them perfect for contractors … even if they aren’t familiar with our design studio.”

Get a Dallas-Tested, Fool-Proof Construction Document

Design Shop designers have years of experience working in construction management, which allows them to create some of the best construction documents in the country: it’s like getting a race car driving lesson from someone who has actually driven race cars for years. Past experiences designing multiple custom homes has taught the firm’s designers to create realistic and executable designs, a skill that’s unique to this design studio. Design Shop construction documents leave no room for error, so that the design decisions made in the office can be executed seamlessly by any contractor in the country.

Because of the sophisticated portfolios and design experience Design Shop designers have gathered over almost fifteen years of experience, The Design Shop is already emerging as one of the top design studios in Dallas. Come see their new space at the launch party!
