A Home Designed for the Way You Live-Not Just What’s Easy to Build

The Artistic Home Process:

A Smarter Way to Design & Build

Most homeowners who want a custom home are told to go with a design-build firm-a one-stop shop that handles everything. But here’s what they don’t tell you: their in-house architects design for the builder, not for you. Their builders make choices that prioritize their bottom line, not your long-term satisfaction.

You deserve a home that fits the way you live, makes the most of your property, and is designed with care-not just a modified template handled by a builder with no design training. That’s why I created the Artistic Home Process, a better way to design and build your home with a handpicked team who works for you, not the other way around.

Better Than Design-Build: More Freedom, More Control, Better Results

Design-build firms lock you into their in-house team from the start. That means:

  • Their architect answers to the builder-not to you.

  • You have no say in who builds your home.

  • The design is limited to what’s easiest and most profitable for them.

With the Artistic Home Process, you stay in control. We design first, then find the best builder for your project-not just whoever happens to be in-house. The result? A home that works for you, not just for their bottom line.

Why Work With Andrew Mikhael Architect?

  • Designed Around How You Live - Every space is tailored to your lifestyle, habits, and future plans.

  • A Smarter Process - You choose the best builder for your project, instead of being locked into a pre-set team.

  • Timeless, Thoughtful Design - Spaces that feel natural, work seamlessly, and grow with you.

  • A True Advocate for You - Because I work independently, I prioritize your best interests, not a builder’s profits.

  • A Collaborative Team from the Start - We bring in the builder early, on YOUR terms, ensuring cost control, seamless execution, and fewer surprises.

How the Artistic Home Process Works

1 Schematic Design

We explore possibilities, refine your vision, and create a design that makes the most of your space.

2 Curated Contractor Selection

I vet and shortlist the best builders, so you choose the right one. No TV-VCR compromises here.

3 Early Collaboration

With the contractor on board early, we fine-tune the design to maximize efficiency, creativity, and cost control. Everyone has time to work together BEFORE construction begins to avoid confusion and misunderstandings.

4 Seamless Execution

With a clear plan and the right team, your project flows smoothly from concept to completion.
