Our Studio is a team of designers, construction managers, project managers, zoning and land use gurus, and specialized professional consultants.
We create our designs and deliver on developments with a few key principles in mind.
A beautiful home isn’t enough—it has to pencil. At HUTS, we design with financial feasibility in mind from day one. That means understanding the full picture: land, site work, approvals, construction costs, and long-term value. We don’t believe in surprises. We believe in clear-eyed planning that makes good design actually doable. Whether you’re building your first home, a short-term rental, or a family compound, we’re here to help make sure the numbers add up—and that your project is as smart on paper as it is in real life.
We assess the financial and regulatory viability of your project before we draw a single line. That ensures your goals, budget, and site align.
Whether you're aiming for an ultra-tight starter home or a high-end retreat, we align design decisions with your financial goals—without sacrificing intent or quality.
Our process brings clarity to the full picture: site conditions, entitlements, utilities, and real-world build costs—so you can invest wisely.
We don’t treat design like a luxury add-on—it’s the core of everything we do. Good design doesn’t just look better; it lives better. It brings clarity to your routines, delight to your days, and enduring value to your investment. Whether you're building for yourself or for guests, thoughtful design drives demand, improves performance, and sets your property apart. We believe in homes that are intuitive, beautiful, and built to stand the test of time. It’s not about trends or taste—it’s about creating spaces that work hard and feel great.
The right proportions, light, layout, and flow transform a house into a home. Good design makes everyday moments feel better—more calm, more connected, more you.
Great design never goes out of style. It holds its value, ages gracefully, and attracts attention—for all the right reasons—if you ever decide to sell.
A well-designed home stands out in a crowded market. Whether short-term or long-term, design-forward properties attract better guests, book faster, and earn more.
Imagine several acres of land. It’s around the size of your dining table. Imagine a house. It’s about the size of a Monopoly piece. Your property project is at least as much about designing for and working with the landscape as it is the interior space of your home. At HUTS, we don’t impose a design on the land—we take our cues from it. That means studying topography, vegetation, solar orientation, wind patterns, views, and access. A smart home design doesn’t fight its environment—it harmonizes with it, creating spaces that feel inevitable, intentional, and rooted.
We evaluate each parcel not just for feasibility, but for design opportunity—so the land becomes a creative partner from the start.
We respond to the land’s topography, light, vegetation, and views—shaping your home to fit the terrain, not flattening the terrain to fit your home.
We align homes to maximize passive solar gain, natural cooling, and outdoor living—designing with the sun and seasons in mind.
We design homes that touch the land lightly—minimizing grading, preserving natural features, and creating meaningful moments between inside and out.
The site isn’t just what surrounds the house—it is the house. We plan for trails, clearings, gardens, and gathering spots from day one.
Designing a home shouldn’t feel like a full-time job—or a never-ending scroll of options. At HUTS, we simplify the process without dumbing it down. That means narrowing choices to the ones that matter, sequencing decisions so they build on each other, and guiding you with clarity at every step. We don’t overwhelm you with catalogs or leave you in the dark. Instead, we use our expertise to present curated paths, smart defaults, and tradeoffs in plain English—so you can make confident, high-impact choices without getting bogged down.
We help you focus on parcels that work—by pre-vetting access, zoning, utilities, and buildability—so you don’t waste time chasing bad land.
We offer design frameworks that adapt to your goals and site, not blank pages. You get creative freedom, not decision paralysis.
Our standards are rooted in beauty and function. We present intentional choices—material palettes, fixture sets, layout options—so you’re never guessing.
We connect design to real budgets. Whether you’re financing a build or looking at long-term ROI, we help you evaluate what makes sense and when.
From procurement to timelines, we help you stay focused on the decisions that keep your build on track—and avoid costly detours.
Homebuilding is a team sport—and sometimes, it goes into extra innings. That’s why we believe the who is just as important as the what. At HUTS, we aim to make beautiful, lasting homes—but also to enjoy the process of making them. We work best with curious, collaborative, and good-humored people, whether they’re clients, contractors, consultants, or team members. No ego, no drama, no jerks. Just talented people aligned around a shared goal: building something great together. If we’re going to spend months (or years) working together, let’s make it fun, respectful, and worth the effort.
We work best with clients who bring vision, openness, and a little grit. We don’t expect you to know everything—but we do expect mutual respect and curiosity.
We value builders who care about quality, communication, and collaboration. We don’t chase the lowest bid—we chase the best fit.
We hire for care, clarity, and craft. Our team is small but mighty—and we choose people who are generous thinkers and collaborative doers.
Whether it’s engineers, surveyors, or sustainability experts, we bring in specialists who align with our ethos and raise the bar—not just check a box.
Great work happens when the process is respected and shared. We’re not here to play design genius—we’re here to build things that last.
We’re not just facilitators—we’re designers with world-class training and a clear perspective on what makes a home great. You’re hiring us for that
Our designs start from a proven framework, but the land, local context, and how you live transform it into something unmistakably yours.
From timelines to billing, we keep everything transparent. If you ever have to ask “what’s next?” or “where did the time go?”—we’ve missed the mark.
A set of drawings might look nice, but it won’t get you meaningfully closer to a finished house. We focus on the whole path—from feasibility to keys in hand.
We only take on projects with a real path to getting built. That means we care just as much about financing, permitting, and feasibility as we do about design.
High-cost markets aren’t an excuse—they’re a design and strategy problem. We dig in to make smart, beautiful projects pencil anyway.
