Custom Homes, Additions & Renovations
Based in Lexington, OH Design Lab provides residential architectural services throughout Kentucky, guiding projects from early planning through construction documentation.
Residential work requires alignment between site conditions, budget, regulatory constraints, and daily living patterns. The role of the architect is to bring those elements together with clarity and coordination.
Strategic Residential Planning
Before design advances, we evaluate:
• Site conditions and orientation
• Zoning and setback requirements
• Existing structural systems
• Budget parameters
• Long-term use and adaptability
Early analysis clarifies scope and reduces unnecessary redesign.
Custom Homes
Each home is developed with attention to:
• Circulation and spatial organization
• Natural light and proportion
• Structural logic
• Mechanical integration
• Constructability
The objective is a residence that performs well, feels balanced, and can be built as intended.
Additions & Renovations
Residential modifications require careful integration with existing construction.
Services include:
• Kitchen and bathroom reconfiguration
• Second-story additions
• Basement and attic conversions
• Structural modifications
• Permit-ready construction documents
Design decisions are evaluated against code requirements, structural feasibility, and long-term durability from the outset.
Documentation & Coordination
Drawings are developed to support:
• Accurate contractor pricing
• Permitting
• Coordinated engineering input when required
• Reduced field conflicts
Residential architecture must be both thoughtful and practical.
