A building can look great on paper and still run into problems with zoning, servicing, engineering, site constraints or municipal requirements.
HOM looks at the project more broadly. Our role is to help connect the design with the real world requirements needed to move toward construction.

Design
Develop a project around your goals.

approaches a project
Good design starts with understanding the problem the property needs to solve.

Clad Commercial Block
A straightforward shell with a disciplined cladding rhythm, planned around servicing, access and the municipal review that follows.

Stone and Brick at Dusk
Two masonry materials carried around the whole envelope, detailed so the transitions land on real framing lines rather than on paper only.

Not every project needs to begin from scratch. The HOM Plan Library gives homeowners access to existing HOM home designs that can be purchased as a starting point for a future project.
