Frusterio Design

Once we have what we need, we work directly with the client to discuss their vision and create an estimate based on drawing new and existing space. An award-winning residential design firm founded by Chuck Frusterio. We have over 30 years of experience strategically conceptualizing floor plans and elevation designs. The front door is under a covered porch which will help with weathering.

This door will allow more of an open flow to the porch during warmer weather. We wanted the look of our new home to be a timeless design. One that would grow old with us if we did live here forever. One that would be new, but look like it had been there for years.

Not to mention, we plan on having a very cool office space, so who wouldn’t want to make it more visible, right. Over the years we have designed thousands of homes across the U.S. and Canada. Our experience designing homes has afforded a unique understanding of both the process and the investment homeowners are making when building a home. There are a total of five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, along with a spacious two-car garage. We offer custom house plan designs for homeowners renovating an existing home. In most cases we can work with a contractor in the area of the home to get the measurements and photos of the existing home.

In fact, purchasing a stock plan would have been more of my style and maybe kept me a little younger. You see, I’m the one who takes the easy road and Henry not so much. On the upper level, you will discover the laundry room, owner’s bedroom, three additional bedrooms, three bathrooms, a loft space, and a bonus room. There is extra storage space in the oversized two-car garage with access to the backyard. His enjoys the daily challenges that go along with marketing the firm's design services.

It was very fulfilling working with John and his team to build our dream home. John brought great ideas and experience from his other builds that we used as inspiration for our home. We often get compliments from our neighbors on our house and they always ask who the builder was.

So, we made this more of an open area with vaulted ceilings. This will definitely make it feel more roomy and will also be great for entertaining. Going into this process we had several things on our list that we wanted to include on the first floor.

My wife and I want to get a new home made, but we’re not sure how to put together a home plan. It makes sense that a good blueprint would be a good idea. I’ll be sure to work with someone who has a lot experience with making this kind of thing. Another cool feature we are thinking about doing is a panoramic door between the family room and covered porch area.

Neither front or side doors get direct sunlight due to the many trees, so this is also a plus. He has a keen eye for solutions to construction challenges that inevitably arise while building a custom design. Our family spend more time in the kitchen and family room more than any other are on the inside of the home. We are very close and tend to migrate to the same area. I may be cooking, the kids doing homework, and Henry watching a ball game, but we love being in the same area.

It will have a closet and an attached bathroom which in return will count as a 5th bedroom if on the market. The other reason we wanted to do an office on the main level was for separation from the children. This allows for us to get more work accomplished during the summer and winter breaks while they are at home.

Both brick and Hardie plank are very low maintenance and very durable. Other than painting every so many years, both materials should withstand time and weather. Ok, Im not going to lie and tell you the entire process of designing your own home is easy.

His favorite part of working with the firm is the unique challenge that each project presents and the friendships that are crafted through the process. Jake enjoys scuba diving, playing golf, and spending time with family in his free time. John took the time with us to make sure the plans and implementation were exactly what we wanted.

John and the entire GCB team were fantastic to work with. Even when we were unsure how some of his recommendations would look, once we saw the final product it was clear that he was the expert with the vision. GCB also fought like hell to ensure we were able to stay within our budget without sacrafice to the overall project. We completed our custom home build with GCB about 18 months ago and absolutely love our home.

The Highlands Community welcomes all of Frusterio’s home designs that fit within our covenants. Below are images with links that will take you to specific plan pages for more details.

We offer custom designed house plans for those clients who have a vision outside of what may already exist in our portfolio. We do not limit hours or revisions on custom house plan designs. The cost to design a custom plan is based on the total final square footage. We work with each client through an initial discovery call to identify style, flow, layout, any unique aspects of the plan, as well as a target square footage. We highly recommend GCB if you are looking to buy a new home or build a custom home. We purchased a spec home that was halfway built and made a few changes to the plan that would accomadate our family better.

… He also ensured the new part of our home reflected the same style and character as the original 85-year-old structure. We are very excited about our upcoming build and feel like we nailed it with this house as far as functionality for our family. We will use the third bedroom for a tv/game room for them to give them more space when they have friends over. For the exterior finishes, we will be using brick and Hardie plank.
