Each Perch Plans design has been carefully crafted with aesthetic, flow, and efficiency of space and energy in mind. We understand that every homeowner’s needs are different and sometimes personalization is desired. As a project of Blair Austin Studio, Perch Plans has a team of licensed and experienced architects that will work with you directly to make the modifications you need. Send your customization requests and questions to info@perchplans.com where scope of work, time required, and cost to modify your plan set can be discussed. We assess all modification requests on an individual basis.
