Welcome to my website and please bear with me as this site is still under construction.

CNR Design began in a spare bedroom on an after work basis in about 1980, then moving to a separate studio and going full time in May of 1983.  Our first years as a full time business were devoted almost exclusively to designing for speculative builders and branched into building homes as well in 1986. The first one was a custom home, designed for and built upon what just happened to be a steep slope sitting above Lake Desire and so began the specialty of designing for and building on difficult and or sensitive area sites.

We can design your remodel / addition to your home or we can design you an entirely new custom home and then build it for you too.  If you would prefer, we can provide just the management services necessary to help you build your home instead.

If you have or are looking at a difficult site, I have extensive experience in navigating and applying the zoning and critical area codes in order to attain a permit for that special site, so don't let the fact that the property you've found has many problems scare you off, as turning problems into attributes is possible and I have done so many many times.

I look forward to meeting you and please have a look at the posted pictures (some before & after) and check back in to view the progress of building a pleasant and informative site.  --  Craig
