Step 1: Site Planning Comes Before Floorplans

On estate properties, the site is the project.

Smart site planning considers: - Views and privacy: where you want glass and where you want shielding - Sun path: morning light, afternoon heat, and where shade matters - Arrival experience: driveway, entry sequence, and first impression - Outdoor lifestyle: pool placement, patios, entertaining zones, and quiet zones - Drainage and grading: managing water is part of long-term home performance

A great home plan doesn’t fight the site. It works with it.
