At Harmony Crafted Homes Atelier, we specialize in crafting comprehensive design blueprints for new homes and remodels. Our services include conceptual design development, detailed floor plans, elevations, and coordination with structural engineers to produce signed and sealed drawings suitable for permitting. While we focus exclusively on the design aspect, we ensure our plans comply with local building codes and are ready for your chosen builder to execute.

Our design process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision, lifestyle, and specific requirements. We then conduct site visits to assess the terrain and optimize views, ensuring your home harmonizes with its surroundings. Utilizing advanced 3D rendering capabilities (optional and at an additional cost), we present your design for visualization before finalizing the detailed plans. This collaborative approach ensures the final design aligns perfectly with your expectations.

Absolutely! At Harmony Crafted Homes Atelier, we can design your home using an existing floor plan you love or customize a layout to better fit your lifestyle. Planning is unquestionably the most important part of the entire design process, and we take great care to ensure your home is tailored to your unique needs, daily routines, and personal aesthetic. Whether you come to us with an elaborate plan or a simple sketch, we will bring your vision to life with expert craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Visualization is key when designing a custom home, so we use advanced 3D rendering capabilities to help you see your design come to life before construction begins (this is optional and at an additional cost). Additionally, we conduct site visits to assess terrain, optimize views, and ensure that your home takes full advantage of its surroundings before beginning the conceptual design phase.

Of course! Designing a home is a deeply personal and exciting journey, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. We’ll start with a conversation about your lifestyle, family needs, ideal square footage, and what you love (or don’t love) about your current home. From there, we’ll craft a design that brings your vision to life in a way that feels intentional, functional, and uniquely yours.

At Harmony Crafted Homes Atelier, we understand that every project is unique. For most jobs, we’re happy to provide a project-based estimate, typically within a defined range. To begin work on the preliminary drawings, a retainer is required. As we refine your design, highly customized projects or those requiring frequent revisions may transition to an hourly structure to best accommodate evolving details.

Once the preliminary plans are finalized and approved, we proceed with the construction prints upon receipt of a retainer for this phase. The final balance is due upon completion. Our goal is to provide flexibility, transparency, and a process that aligns with your needs, ensuring a seamless and personalized design experience.

Our primary service area is within an hour of Minocqua, Wisconsin, but depending on the project and our schedule, we may travel further. Whenever possible, we prefer to visit your site in person to ensure the design takes full advantage of the land, views, and natural surroundings.

That said, our experience in residential design extends well beyond Wisconsin—we’ve designed homes extensively throughout Florida, in various states across the U.S., and even internationally. No matter where you dream of calling home, we can bring your vision to life with thoughtful, personalized design solutions tailored to your location, lifestyle, and unique needs.

With extensive experience in residential design across various regions, including Wisconsin and Florida, we are well-versed in local building codes and permitting processes. We collaborate closely with structural engineers to ensure all designs comply with regional regulations, facilitating a smooth approval process.

While our primary role is to provide detailed design plans, we are available to consult with your chosen builder to ensure the design's integrity is maintained throughout the construction process. Our goal is to facilitate a seamless transition from design to build, resulting in a home that reflects your vision.

While our primary focus is residential design, we have experience with many commercial projects as well. We are happy to discuss your commercial project and tailor a design solution to fit your business needs.

Yes! We deeply respect the character and integrity of historic homes. When designing renovations or remodels for historic properties, we ensure that the original architectural details and charm remain intact while seamlessly integrating modern functionality. If you have a historic home that needs careful updating while preserving its unique craftsmanship, we would love to help bring it back to life with thoughtful, period-sensitive design solutions.
