1. DISCOVER | What Home Means to You
Our process begins with a conversation centered around you. We take the time to understand how you live and how you envision your future experience in your home and in life.
Together, we explore:
- Your daily routine, goals, inclinations, and essentials
- What brings you comfort, connection, and inspiration
- Your personal aesthetic and lifestyle choices
2. EXPLORE | Understanding the Land + Light
We walk the land with you, learning from the site to ensure your home feels connected to its surroundings and elevates everyday living.
We consider:
- How the home feels grounded in its site while elevating daily experience
- Sunlight patterns, views, and the natural features of the land
- Opportunities for seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living
3. CREATE | Bringing Your Vision to Life
Together, we shape your vision using collaborative creativity and tactile tools.
We develop:
- Spatial diagrams and sketches that reflect how you live
- With your input, inspiration boards with texture, tone, and personality
- Early designs that blend your personal aesthetic with your home’s functionality
4. REFINE | Your Vision, Realized
With your family's needs in mind and concepts established, we begin crafting clear, buildable drawings for your contractor.
We deliver:
- Drawings that guide your builder in creating a home of comfort, calm, and lasting quality
- Exterior and interior details that express your personality through honest, beautiful materials
- Thoughtful integration of your selected finishes to create meaning and wonder in every space
5. REVEAL | Details + Documentation
From groundbreaking to final walkthrough, we support your builder to ensure the design is brought to life as intended.
We help:
- Coordinate final details and design intent
- Answer questions and through collaboration, guide decisions during construction
- Work to make sure your home is really ready to be lived in, enjoyed, and shared
At DAHLIN, we don't design for ourselves - we design for you, with you.
We design with...
COLLABORATION | Because great design happens together - with open dialogue, shared ideas, and trust at the center of every step.
UNDERSTANDING | Because your home should reflect your lifestyle, your routines, and the people you love—not just our ideas on paper.
A SENSE OF PLACE | Because the land matters. It shapes how you live, how light enters your spaces, and how your home feels truly connected.
Your vision. Your life. Your home.
