Custom Design

Designing small spaces is the art of finding possibilities where others see limitations. We specialize in modern, environmentally sustainable designs that fit your needs.

The first step in our custom design process is the consultation phase. During this stage, we sit down with you to discuss your vision, needs, and preferences. We ask about your lifestyle, the natural features of your building site, and your goals for sustainability. This helps us understand what you envision for your dream home. We also consider factors like sunlight, wind patterns, and the local climate to ensure that your home is not only aesthetically pleasing but also energy-efficient and in harmony with its surroundings.

Design

Moving into the design phase, we transform your ideas into a detailed plan. Leveraging our expertise in modern design, we create a layout that's both beautiful and functional. We present you with sketches and 3D models, allowing you to visualize the final outcome. This phase is collaborative, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to provide feedback and make adjustments. We focus on selecting sustainable materials and incorporating eco-friendly features like solar panels, green roofs, or rainwater harvesting systems to minimize your home's environmental impact.

Construction

Finally, once the design is approved, the construction phase begins. At Nanabode, we work closely with builders and contractors to bring your vision to life, ensuring every detail aligns with our agreed-upon design. Throughout this process, we maintain a strong focus on sustainability, making sure that construction practices are environmentally responsible. We keep you updated regularly and hold meetings to ensure the project stays on track and any challenges are promptly addressed. The end result is a beautifully modern, custom-designed home by Nanabode, reflecting your personal style and demonstrating a commitment to sustainable living.
