Peter A.
Architect | US Permit Sets (ADU), 3D CAD Interior & Landscape designer
📍Stop losing weeks to city permit rejections, contractor change orders, and disconnected design teams. With 100+ projects successfully delivered across continents, I turn hand sketches, rough ideas, and floor plans into city-approved permit sets and photorealistic 3D environments that actually get built on budget. Whether you are a homeowner building an ADU, a developer breaking ground on a new custom home, a contractor managing tight site schedules, or an interior design firm needing a reliable remote drafting partner, I deliver complete design packages engineered for smooth municipal approvals and maximum spatial value. WHO I WORK WITH & HOW I ADD VALUE Homeowners & Real Estate Developers: Transform raw property visions into functional, high-value real estate. I design with construction budgets in mind, helping you avoid costly structural over-engineering while maximizing usable square footage. Contractors & Builders: Receive clean, airtight 2D CAD sets built to US standards (IRC/IBC). I catch layout conflicts and structural alignment issues during drafting—saving you thousands of dollars in site re-works and field changes. Interior Design Firms & Architecture Studios: Act as a seamless remote team member. I coordinate directly with your internal teams, engineers, and local specialists to translate concept sketches into buildable drawings and high-end 3D visual models. Realtors & Investors: Turn underutilized spaces, garages, and vacant lots into market-ready ADUs, barndominiums, or rental units with fast-turnaround visual marketing packages and permit sets. COMPLETE DESIGN & TECHNICAL SERVICES 1. Code-Ready US Permit Drawings & CAD Drafting Structure-ready architectural drawing sets tailored for municipal plan checks: Project Types: ADUs, Detached/Attached Units, Garage Conversions, Custom New Builds, Barndominiums, Additions, & Whole-House Remodels. Drawing Package Includes: Site Plans, Zoning Profiles, Dimensioned Floor Plans, Building Elevations, Wall/Roof Sections, Foundation/Framing Details, Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP), Door/Window Schedules, and MEP Coordination Layouts (Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC). 2. 3D Interior Design & Space Planning Creating warm, timeless, and functional interior environments without the generic corporate feel: Photorealistic 3D Interior Rendering (D5 Render, Lumion, SketchUp) Space Optimization, Traffic Flow & Room Adjacency Planning Millwork/Cabinetry Detailing, Custom Lighting Layouts & Material Spec Sheets 3. 3D Landscape, Hardscape & Outdoor Living Design Connecting indoor architecture seamlessly with the outdoor landscape: Pool Areas, Decks, Outdoor Kitchens, Pergolas & Patio Layouts Material Specifications (Paving, Travertine, Retaining Walls, Privacy Fencing) Plant Selection & Climate-Appropriate Planting Plans Exterior Architectural Renders (Day & Evening Atmospheric Lighting) WHY CLIENTS TRUST ME WITH THEIR PERMITS & BUDGETS First-Pass Approval Mindset: I cross-check architectural plans against local zoning setbacks, egress rules, and technical codes before submission to keep municipal redlines to a minimum. I also stay for revisions till the project ends. End-to-End Design Fusion: You don't need to hire one freelancer for 2D CAD and another for 3D renderings. I handle technical permit documentation and photorealistic visualization under one roof. Proactive Problem-Solving: If I see a design conflict, tight clearance, or a more cost-effective structural approach, I bring it to your attention immediately with a practical solution. 📩Ready to get your project approved and built without the headache?
