Custom Residential Architecture in Memphis
We design custom homes shaped around your site, lifestyle, and architectural vision. From early planning through detailed construction documents, each residence is developed with careful proportion, thoughtful flow, and lasting architectural character.
Custom Residential Architecture from Concept to Construction
A custom home begins with a clear understanding of your property, goals, lifestyle, and architectural vision. Each design is carefully developed to create a residence that feels personal, well-proportioned, and lasting.
Site & Program Planning
We begin by studying your site, priorities, lifestyle needs, and budget to establish a thoughtful foundation for the design.
Schematic Design
Early concepts, layouts, massing, and architectural direction are developed to shape the character and flow of the home.
Design Development
The design is refined through careful study of proportion, materials, details, and how each space works together.
Construction Documents
Detailed drawings are prepared to guide pricing, coordination, and construction with clarity and accuracy.
A Clear, Collaborative Path from Vision to Construction
McClure Architecture provides a full range of professional architectural services including Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding and Negotiation, and Construction Administration. Additionally, we collaborate throughout the design process with interior designers, landscape architects, and consulting engineers to achieve a cohesive and carefully studied solution. We also assist consultants who provide audio-visual, security, computer, and communication systems for the home.
The details matter and a complete set of construction documents is critical to the building process. Contractors often praise the thorough and highly detailed working drawings that the firm provides.
Great design happens and creativity flourishes when we develop client relationships. We believe that for a project to be truly successful, the client has to be an active participant during the entire design process. When some of the client's personality shows through in the final design, then we have done our job.
