THE HOME REVIVAL MASTERPLAN™

Private Architectural Design & Renovation Strategy for Discerning Owners of Older Homes

You've worked hard to own a home in a neighborhood you love.

You appreciate its character, its setting, and the qualities that make it different from the houses being built today.

But you also know it could be so much better.

Perhaps the kitchen needs rethinking. Maybe you need more room for family, better circulation, a first-floor primary suite, or an addition that looks like it belongs.

You have ideas. You have the resources to make significant improvements.

What you don't have is unlimited time to figure out exactly what should be done, how the pieces fit together, and which decisions are worth making.

And you certainly don't want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars creating a house that looks renovated but never feels architecturally right.

That's why I created the Home Revival MasterPlan.

You Tell Me What You Want Your Home to Accomplish. I Lead the Architectural Work of Figuring Out How.

I'm Nate Turner, principal architectural designer at Turnwood Design Group.

I specialize in transforming older American homes into beautiful, cohesive, traditionally grounded residences that work exceptionally well for contemporary living.

My role isn't simply to take your ideas and turn them into drawings.

It's to help determine which ideas deserve to be built in the first place.

I study your existing house, understand your priorities, and investigate what is architecturally and practically possible.

I explore alternative approaches, consider their consequences, and develop a recommendation that respects both the house and your long-term investment.

I also help establish the necessary next steps so you're not left wondering who needs to be involved or how to move forward.

You remain in control of the important decisions.

But you don't have to become an expert in architectural design, construction sequencing, historic proportions, or residential planning to make them.

One House. One Coherent Architectural Vision.

The Home Revival MasterPlan includes a comprehensive investigation of your house and three potential transformation strategies.

The Refined House: Discover how much better your existing home could function without unnecessary expansion.

The Expanded House: Investigate additions that provide the space you need while respecting the original architecture.

The Complete Revival: Explore a more comprehensive transformation that brings the entire home together.

I evaluate the alternatives, explain their architectural and practical implications, and recommend the direction I believe best serves your goals.

We then develop the selected direction through floor plans, architectural studies, and three-dimensional visualization.

My objective isn't to overwhelm you with choices.

It's to help you make the right ones.

Architectural Judgment. Personal Attention. A Clear Path Forward.

The experience is designed around five priorities:

Architectural Character Protection

Your home's original proportions, architectural language, and defining characteristics are studied and respected as the new design develops.

A Personally Recommended Design Direction

You receive more than alternative floor plans. You receive a professional recommendation, with an explanation of the reasoning and compromises behind it.

Investment Prioritization

We distinguish essential improvements from optional enhancements and identify major design decisions that may affect construction complexity and investment.

Principal-Led Design Coordination

I personally lead the architectural direction and coordinate the agreed preliminary design conversations needed to help move the concept forward.

An Organized Transition Toward Construction

At the conclusion of the engagement, we review the selected design, its priorities, outstanding technical questions, and the professional services needed for the next stage.

The MasterPlan is a conceptual architectural service. Final engineering, permitting, construction documents, and construction management are separate services.

Your Time Is Valuable. So Is the House You're Renovating.

You shouldn't have to spend months comparing conflicting design ideas, researching architectural details, and trying to decide whether each proposed change makes sense.

And you shouldn't have to accept a generic renovation simply because it would be easier to build.

The entire purpose of the Home Revival MasterPlan is to bring professional judgment, architectural coherence, and an organized process to decisions that deserve to be made carefully.

You bring your aspirations for the home. I bring the architectural expertise and design leadership to turn those aspirations into a considered plan.

The result is more than a collection of drawings.

It's a clear vision for the house you want to live in, developed with the care and attention that a substantial renovation deserves.

Let's Determine What Your Home Should Become.

The Home Revival MasterPlan is available to homeowners considering significant renovations of established houses throughout Metro Detroit and select other locations.

Private MasterPlan Engagements Begin at $16,500.

Tell me about your home, your goals, and the investment you're contemplating. I'll review the information personally to determine whether the Home Revival MasterPlan is an appropriate next step.

Not all applicants will qualify.
