This stunning addition, designed by our team and built by Dave Osmond Builders, seamlessly expands our clients' French Country home's outdoor living space. Two decades after crafting their dream home, we were thrilled to work with our clients again on this new chapter.
Move to a New Home or Remodel Your Existing Home?
A significant dilemma that some homeowners face is whether to move to a new home or remodel your existing home. Both options have positives and negatives. When our RDS designers meet with clients, some are not sure what they are going to do until we talk through viable options for a remodel design.

What We Know and are Learning About Intel and its Impact on the Surrounding Communities
We are learning a great deal these days about the impact of Intel (an American manufacturer of semiconductor computer circuits) and what it means for development. As home designers at Residential Designed Solutions, we have a vested interest in understanding development needs so that we are able to service the incoming teams from Intel, Amazon, Facebook, and Google. While we can’t see into the future, we’ve been reading, listening, and paying attention. In some way, most of us will be impacted by Intel.

One additional goal: give this home a new, contemporary identity.
