Our Services

Our Residential Architectural Services

At Keen Design Studio, we provide complete residential architectural design services — from initial consultation to construction-ready drawings and ongoing project support.
Every service is structured to ensure clarity, compliance, and design excellence.

Client Consultation

Every successful home begins with understanding. We start by discussing:

Your goals for the project

Budget considerations

Construction timeline

Scope (new home, addition, renovation, etc.)

This stage establishes a clear design direction and ensures expectations are aligned before the creative process begins.

Existing Conditions & Site Review

Before developing house design plans, we conduct a thorough evaluation of the property and site conditions.
This includes:

Reviewing zoning and municipal bylaws

Assessing site feasibility

Identifying constraints or opportunities

Confirming compliance requirements

Proper groundwork ensures the proposed design is practical, realistic, and permit-ready.

Primary Design Development

Based on the initial consultation, we prepare a preliminary architectural design solution.
You will receive:

Concept floor plans

Design layouts

Spatial arrangements

Early architectural drawings

Your feedback is incorporated through a collaborative revision process until the design reflects your vision and functional needs.

Comprehensive Architectural Drawings

Once the design is finalized, we prepare a full set of residential architectural drawings required for construction and building permit submission.
This typically includes:

Detailed floor plans

Elevations

Sections

Architectural site plans

Building loads and receiving products

These construction-ready drawings provide clarity for builders and contractors while meeting municipal standards.

Permit & Required Documentation

We provide:

Digital PDF drawing packages or printed sets

Designer information sheets

All required documentation for permit submission

Our planning drawings are structured to streamline the approval process and minimize dela

Construction Assistance

Our involvement does not end with drawing delivery.
During construction, we remain available for:

Plan clarification

Design adjustments

Additional drawing revisions

Coordination with the general contractor

This ongoing architectural support ensures the project is executed according to the original design intent.

Note: Additional fees may apply for extended construction-phase services.
