Full custom architectural plan sets in the Catskills and Upstate New York
Custom Residential Architecture Rooted in construction excellence and execution
CDG provides full custom plan sets through third party services. We are not architects, however, we work closely with architects who know exactly how we build so that we can bring virtually any client customization to life. This includes custom floor plan design, systems, as well as material selections.
We design homes that respond to the terrain, take advantage of natural light and views, and support modern living while respecting the rural character of the Hudson Valley and Catskills.
Architecture with a Builder’s Mindset
What sets CDG apart is our dual expertise in both design and construction. We do not just create beautiful drawings. We create architectural plans that are buildable, efficient, and fully integrated with your land and budget.
- We design homes that suit Catskills topography, weather, and views
- We streamline the process from concept to construction with integrated planning
