What makes for quality in a new or remodeled home? Putting the right stuff in the right place. That means rooms that meet your needs, logically arranged, aesthetically pleasing, and of durable construction. These rules apply whether your home is big or small, simple or elaborate. Designing well at the start can save you money - it doesn't cost more to put the window in the right place at the start! Here's how Keppers Design helps you get there: First, by listening carefully to your needs and aspirations. We discuss these in detail before a design contract is even signed, and follow through during design to ensure that these are met. Secondly, by showing developing designs to you in a clear and understandable way. This includes floor plans, perspectives, and even virtual-reality, interactive simulations that can be viewed and shared using an ordinary smartphone. Thirdly, by creating detailed and thorough construction drawings. This allows for apples-to-apples competitive bids, more accurate construction cost pricing from the bidders, and better ability for the homeowner to hold a contractor to his bids. Fourthly, Keppers Design can help you during the bidding and construction phases, answering questions and facilitating communication with the contractor. Keppers Design specializes in residential and small commercial design and is a licensed Architect in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
We consider ourselves progressive people. We search for light and air, soothing comfort and tactile surfaces, beauty and simplicity, tangible relationships between inside and outside space, honest expression of materials and delight in details, and human scale spaces. Mostly, we search in our built work, for strong relationships between these components of good design. No matter the age of a project, whether contemporary or antique, well designed buildings have measures of all of these components. In this way, while we are Modernists, we are also Preservationists. There is really quite an indiscernible line between the two for us. When we approach remodeling projects in older homes, we look to re-present the best of the existing enlightened and novel detailing of the original age, within a fresh and innovative solution that is newly ahead of its time. The Modern and the Historic can coexist. It just takes respect for both.
