Welcome to "Design Factory Custom Homes"


I just started this new blog page for my Company, "Design Factory Custom Homes."

I have been working in home design as long as I can remember. Since I was a little kid I have always dreamed about designing homes for a living. I would draw little sketches out on paper during school and show them to my mom when I got home. Of course I would get in trouble for not paying attention during class, but it was fun.

I now have been doing business in the St. George for several years and am enjoying every minute of designing and helping families achieve thier goals of having their dream home. Our Moto is, "Designing your dream home Together".

I hope you enjoy looking around at some of the different homes that I have designed and if you are ever in the need for some help designing your own dream home that you will make sure that you give me a call.

Once again, Welcome and Enjoy

Sampson Residence Update

Here are some pics I took today of the Sampson Residence. It is moving along very fast and hopefully be done here in the next couple of months. I will try to keep you updated on the progress of the home.

Home is approx. 5500 sq. ft. with 5 bedrooms, 4 baths and lots more. There is a den, theater room, paino room, and of course the kitchen and family room. This is going to be a very nice house and I am thinking of asking the owner of putting it into the Prade of Homes if we can.

Here are the Pics

Front and Back of the house.






Couple of pics from the Entry





Here is the Kitchen/ Gathering Room



Upstairs Family Play Room



This is the Theater room. It is located upstairs above the garage. I dropped the celing in the garage so that the floor in the Theater room could be dropped and give it that stadium seating feel. The owner is going to put subwoofers between the floor joists so that the movie can really be felt. Hard to tell in the pic but there is a 1 foot step down and we will build a shelf in at 6" so there will be 3 levels to put chairs on. This is going to be one cool Theater.



This is a pic of the Paino Room at the top of the stairs. I think that this is going to be a beautiful room, I can just see the baby grand sitting there already.



I will try to update the site every couple of weeks so that you can see the progress.

Vause Residence

This is a house that I did a while back for a good friend of mine. I think that this is one of my favorite houses so far in all the homes that I have done. It turned out amazing and the Vause Family is very happy with it. It is located in Enterprise Ut. and sits on about 10 acres. Wouldn't that be nice.

Here is a few looks at the outside of the house.





And the Entry.




Here is the inside.

This was a great project for me and lots of fun to work with good friends.

All in all this house was right around 4000 sq. ft. and it had 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and alot of open space. The house turned out beautiful and I cant say enough about it.
