We are a referral-based full service architecture firm. As such, we do not monitor Angi closely. Please see our website for more information and reviews. (Reviews are also viewable on Google). Luke has spent the past 15 years immersed in the art of architecture—developing what one client called a “rare combination” of astute design sensibility, technical know-how, and client-centric service. Luke’s experiences span the country, ranging from rural and coastal estates, homes in garden districts and urban areas, historic renovations, institutional buildings such as schools and churches, hospitality, and commercial mixed-use buildings. In each circumstance, he applies a passion for design and a genuine desire to make people happy. As another client stated, “He has impeccable taste and aesthetics – which combined with his architectural skills and passion result in the collaboration of a lifetime.”

This is achieved through our interactive and collaborative approach where we invite clients to join our team in designing their home. With almost a decade of architectural experience, we specialize in designing custom homes. Our goal is to provide clients with a home crafted in tandem with their unique lifestyle. Simultaneously, we understand the importance of a home that sustainably integrates with the natural environment. At Refine Design, we maintain a constant dialogue with homeowners as a source of inspiration and feedback. We are not only invested in your project but also in getting to know our clients personally as we work together to refine your design.

"It was great working with Refine Design Architecture for our cabin expansion. They listened to our requirements, offered feedback and produced designs that fulfilled our vision of an expanded cabin. We were not pressured into something larger or smaller than our vision. They initially produced "primary" and "alternate" designs until I realized one design would be much easier to build and maintain. Even our kids(8 and 10) input was considered and the new cabin will have a "kid room.""

Building design services FAQs

In most cities, you’re required to have a building permit in order to construct a pool house on your property. The exact type of permit varies by region—in some areas, it might cost as much as $2,700 to get the necessary permits, while other cities don’t require any permits for structures under 200 square feet.

If you’re building a custom pool house, you can expect the entire process to take two to three months from the design phase to the end of construction, or even as much as a year for very large or complex pool houses. If you’re installing a prefabricated kit or shed, the process is much faster—usually one to three days.

Most pool houses can range from 100 square feet to 800 square feet. Smaller pool houses are about 100 to 150 square feet, while a spacious pool house is at least 300 square feet.
