Designing a Custom Luxury Home Step Five: Final Approval and Blue Prints

Over the last few weeks, we have shared with you our process for designing a custom luxury home. The last step is the final approval and submitting plans to the respective agencies. As one of the most crucial steps, everything comes together to be submitted for approval. All before breaking ground on your project! This is where our team of custom home architects and designers provide clients with design concepts through presentations and physical samples. Thus ensuring that they can fully visualize in their minds what their space is to look like. The most important piece of this step is for the designer to be able to clearly communicate their ideas, concepts, and designs. Allowing clients to be able to visually understand what is being said and presented in a clear and concise manner.

3D Images are Helpful!

For our luxury architects, it is of utmost importance to make sure that our clients understand and approve of their future space. It is often about adapting to clients wanting to make small changes or asking for clarification in certain areas. This is where we provide elements such as plan drawings with callouts of materials and exact locations. As well as, tile drawings of both floors and walls with plans and elevations, and specialty details are drawn in 3D for clients to visualize. Anything that is in a 3D rendering gives clients a better, more comprehensive understanding of what their space will look like. All while providing material and perspective images. This includes lighting and light fixtures, furniture details, wall paneling, ceiling detail, and flooring. Furniture plans with exact dimensions for space planning are crucial and tell us how much room or circulation area there is for walking paths. Including how much overall space there is to work with and within.

All of these elements help both the clients and the builders, ensuring that everything is built to specification and to the clients’ satisfaction. Step five is a necessary step to receive the final approval of not only the client but the HOA, city, and any and all other governing agencies. All final drawings, site plans, exterior elevations, electrical plans, and material selections are required to be formally drawn up, presented, and approved before the build process can begin.

How Architectural Planning Impacts Long Term Property Value

By Sam Fratantoni • February 10, 2026

Architectural planning is one of the most powerful and often overlooked drivers of long term property value in luxury residential real estate. While materials, finishes, and décor certainly contribute to visual appeal, the true financial and lifestyle performance of a home begins long before construction. It begins with the architectural plans. Strategic custom architectural design determines how a home functions, how it ages, how it adapts to changing lifestyles, and ultimately how it is perceived in the luxury housing market years or even decades later. For homeowners investing in custom luxury homes, architectural planning is not simply a preliminary phase. It is the foundation that protects and grows the value of the property over time.

Curb Appeal at the Estate Level: Architectural Elements That Make a Statement

By Sam Fratantoni • February 2, 2026

When designing a luxury custom home, curb appeal is far more than fresh landscaping or a new coat of paint. True estate level curb appeal is rooted in architecture. It is the intentional balance of scale, symmetry, materials, and structural detail that communicates prestige, permanence, and craftsmanship before anyone ever steps through the front door. For affluent homeowners building a custom residence, the exterior of the home sets expectations for everything that follows. Luxury architecture is not decorated. It is designed from the ground up to make a statement. In high end residential architecture, curb appeal directly influences perceived property value, emotional impact, and long term desirability. The most memorable luxury homes are instantly recognizable not because of trends, but because of strong architectural fundamentals that stand the test of time.

The Blueprint of Luxury: Designing Floor Plans That Match Your Lifestyle

By Sam Fratantoni • January 29, 2026

When designing a truly exceptional custom home, luxury is not defined by square footage alone. At the highest level, luxury architecture is about how a home functions, how it supports daily routines, and how seamlessly it adapts to the way a family lives, entertains, and evolves over time. The most successful floor plans are those that are intentionally designed around lifestyle, not trends. At Fratantoni Design, we believe that the blueprint is the foundation of everything. Before materials are selected or architectural styles are refined, the floor plan must be thoughtfully developed to reflect the realities of modern luxury living.

Why Great Homes Begin With Architecture, Not Construction

By Sam Fratantoni • January 22, 2026

When planning a custom luxury home, it is tempting to focus first on construction timelines, budgets, or even finishes. But the most successful residences do not begin with building. They begin with architecture. Architecture is the framework that shapes every experience within a home. It determines how spaces flow, how light is captured, how proportions feel, and how the residence responds to its site. Long before construction begins, architectural planning defines whether a home will feel cohesive, enduring, and intentional or merely assembled. For discerning homeowners, understanding the role of architecture is essential to creating a home that stands the test of time.

What Defines True Luxury Residential Architecture in 2026?

By Sam Fratantoni • January 12, 2026

Luxury residential architecture in 2026 is no longer about dramatic facades or oversized floor plans alone. Today’s most discerning homeowners are seeking architecture that is intentional, refined, and deeply connected to how they live. True luxury architecture balances beauty with function, vision with precision, and creativity with technical expertise. At Fratantoni Design, luxury architecture is approached as both an art and a discipline. Every home begins with a clear architectural vision, carefully developed to reflect the client’s lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals.

The Value of Integrated Architecture, Interior Design, and Build in Luxury Homes

By Sam Fratantoni • December 11, 2025

Luxury homes demand more than beautiful design or quality construction alone. The most successful high-end residences are the result of seamless collaboration between architecture, interior design, and the build process. When these disciplines operate in isolation, even the most well-intentioned projects can suffer from misalignment, inefficiencies, and costly revisions. At Fratantoni Design, we believe the value of an integrated architecture, interior design, and build approach cannot be overstated. This collaboration is what allows luxury homes to feel cohesive, intentional, and exceptionally executed from concept through completion.

Why Architects Should Be Involved Before Interior Design in Luxury Homes

By Sam Fratantoni • December 4, 2025

When building or remodeling a luxury home, the order in which professionals are brought into the process matters. One of the most common and costly mistakes homeowners make is involving interior design before architectural planning is fully developed. While interior design plays a critical role in how a home looks and feels, architecture is the foundation that determines how a home functions, flows, and endures. At Fratantoni Design, we believe architects should be involved before interior design begins. This approach ensures that the home’s structure, layout, and proportions are thoughtfully planned to support both aesthetics and livability from the start.

Indoor Outdoor Living Starts with Architecture: Seamless Design from Floorplan to Finish

By Sam Fratantoni • November 27, 2025

Luxury homes are no longer defined only by what happens inside. In today’s most exclusive estates, the outdoor spaces are just as important as the interiors. True indoor outdoor living begins at the architectural level, long before the first piece of furniture is placed or the landscape is installed. At Fratantoni Design, we specialize in creating custom floorplans that blur the line between indoors and out, crafting homes that feel connected to their surroundings while offering the highest level of comfort, beauty, and function.

Designing for Sloped Lots: Architectural Solutions for Challenging Terrain

By Sam Fratantoni • November 20, 2025

Designing a luxury home on a sloped lot presents both a challenge and an opportunity. While uneven terrain can create design complexities, it also allows for one-of-a-kind architecture that blends seamlessly into the land and maximizes views in a way flat sites simply cannot. At Fratantoni Design, we specialize in crafting luxury residences on some of the most demanding lots across the country, including a Hawaii estate we designed perched dramatically on the edge of a cliff. These are the types of projects that demand creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of topography. With over 40 years of architectural expertise, our team is highly experienced in transforming sloped lots into structurally sound, visually breathtaking custom homes.

The Evolution of Luxury Staircase Design in Modern Architecture

By Sam Fratantoni • November 12, 2025

In luxury residential architecture, few architectural features make a statement as powerfully as a beautifully designed staircase. A staircase is no longer only a functional element that connects levels of a home. In high end custom homes, it has become a sculptural centerpiece, a structural masterpiece, and a defining architectural moment. At Fratantoni Design, staircases play an essential role in the overall design narrative, setting the tone for elegance, scale, and craftsmanship throughout the home. As luxury architecture continues to evolve, staircase design has transformed into one of the most expressive features in modern estate homes.
