Metro 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.
Building for yourself, or building to sell — we design for both.
Daniel Allen Designs is a luxury custom home design studio in Metro Atlanta, producing permit-ready construction documents for residences ranging from 4,500 to 12,000+ square feet. Founded by Daniel Allen Sievers — a designer with 30+ years of experience including 20 years as a custom home builder — our studio serves homeowners, builders, and developers across Buckhead, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Sandy Springs, and communities throughout Georgia.
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.
