Design Process
Each handcrafted Maple Island log home is a one-of-a-kind project. Our designers relish new creative challenges and are accustomed to simplifying complicated plans to better accommodate budget constraints. They are also superbly talented when a project has no pre-set budget limit, allowing them to really stretch out and explore more complex handcrafted designs and nuances.
Working with CAD software applications, our design staff can offer an amazing range of innovative ideas for those who may not know where to begin.
Most often the plans are created "from scratch" by an architect, or begin with a pre-existing plan that has been modified to fit specific needs and desires. Maple Island offers a selection of standard plans to serve as thought starters for a new home design, click here for floor plan ideas. We rarely duplicate these plans as designed and anticipate that each project will be custom designed to meet the express needs and desires of our buyers. There is no real cost advantage in building from an existing plan.
