Custom Home Design in Dunwoody

Custom residential design in Dunwoody — where the real question is often renovate or rebuild.

Dunwoody is a community of established lots where the real question is often renovate or rebuild — and where the City of Dunwoody tree ordinance shapes both. The risk is committing to a direction before the lot and ordinance have spoken.

Daniel Allen Designs helps Dunwoody homeowners decide between renovation and rebuild — then designs whichever path makes more sense, producing construction documents that account for existing utilities, grading, and the reality of building on a lot that already has a home on it.

Neighborhoods We Design For

Established streets near Dunwoody Village, the lots around Dunwoody Country Club, and wooded parcels across the city.

Local Conditions We Design Around

  • City of Dunwoody tree ordinance and canopy protection
  • Established lots: renovate, add, or rebuild decisions
  • City of Dunwoody zoning, setbacks, and permitting
  • HOA review on select streets

Styles Common in Dunwoody

Transitional, traditional, and modern homes, plus large renovations and additions.

Our Work in Dunwoody

Several of our projects involve the same renovate-or-rebuild decision Dunwoody homeowners face — established lots where the land is worth keeping but the existing home no longer fits. We evaluate structural reuse, zoning constraints, and cost-per-square-foot reality before putting pencil to paper. See our approach in the portfolio.

Our Process

Discovery → Schematic Design → Design Development → Construction Documents. Every set is permit-ready and priced cleanly by your builder. See our full design process and recent work.
