Designing
Buildable Luxury.
Atlanta's luxury residential design studio. Custom floor plans and permit-ready construction documents for homes from 4,500 to 12,000+ square feet — crafted by a designer who spent two decades building them first.
The Challenge
Design That Understands Construction
Most designers create beautiful drawings. Few understand what happens when those drawings reach a job site. The result is costly — change orders, pricing surprises, and the slow erosion of trust between homeowner and builder.
The most expensive line item on any custom home is the one that was not in the original documents.

Our Approach
A Builder Who Became a Designer
When Daniel Allen Sievers draws a detail, he can see the framer's hands building it. When he specifies a material, he understands its lead time, its installation requirements, its cost implications.
This dual perspective — designer and builder — is the foundation of every project at Daniel Allen Designs. We call it The Builder's Eye.
