Architecture that starts with life
Talor helps homeowners clarify what the home needs to do before drawings lock expensive decisions into place.
Residential Architecture and Planning
Custom home design, renovation planning, zoning, permitting, and construction guidance from Licensed Architect Talor Stewart.
Discuss Your Project
Designed for serious projects
The work can support new homes, substantial renovations, additions, vacation homes, multigenerational homes, and homes shaped around land, privacy, aging, and daily rhythm.
A clear next step
The first conversation is a 45-minute consultation built around three questions. If the fit is right, the next step is the Lifestyle Design Brief™.
Ways to work together
Architecture support for the decisions in front of you.
Some projects need a complete architectural partner. Others need the right early decisions before design begins. Both paths use the same lifestyle-first method.
Custom Architecture
For clients who want an architect walking beside them from Lifestyle Design Brief through construction, with schematic design, construction documents, permitting support, and construction-phase guidance.
Consulting & Feasibility
Site analysis including zoning regulations, possible home placement, setbacks, utility connections and pathways, topography and solar orientation, program review, and a next steps recommendation before you begin design.
Lifestyle Design Brief
Walk into any architect or builder conversation with your ideal life, values, relationships, activity spaces, light priorities, and home brief already defined.
Right-Sized Homes
Especially useful for growing families, empty nesters rightsizing for the next chapter, guesthouses, ADUs, and durable homes that adapt over time.
