Whether designing or building a small remodel, major addition or large custom home, Costa de Leon approaches every client's project with equal enthusiasm and attention to detail. Our design philosophy is to make every project unique to its site, setting and client.

Our design service begins with site analysis. We study the site to take into account views, winds, solar exposure and topography to design a building that makes the best use of all the site's features. "Exploding the box" is a term Frank Lloyd Wright used to describe architecture that eliminated unnecessary walls and blurred the line between the indoors and out. We strive to  give our designs a sculptural quality that you experience as you transition from the exterior to the interior spaces.

We are experienced in the use of passive and active solar design, using the building shape, orientation and materials to capture the sun's heating energy and solar panels to create electricity. Proper use of shading devices, knowledge of solar angles, and strategic placement of operable windows can keep a building comfortable without the use of space conditioning a majority of the time in our local climate.

Costa de Leon can also build any project we design, offering a continuing point of contact for the client. Or if plans and permits have already been obtained, we can implement the drawings as is or with our design input to enhance your project's appeal or performance. No project is too small or too complex for our staff. Our professionalism will keep your project on track, on budget and completed to your satisfaction.
