In the world of residential design, finding the right collaborator can be like dating—sometimes you meet someone who “gets” you, sometimes you don’t. Thankfully, teaming up with David Michael Designs has been less awkward first date and more long-term power couple.

David has called Brewster’s Drafting House a “go-to choice,” and we’re not about to argue with a man who knows good design when he sees it. Over the years, we’ve worked on countless projects together, and every single time the process has been fast, sharp, and (miracle of miracles) on budget. It turns out that when you combine responsiveness with a shared obsession for clean design, the results tend to speak for themselves.

And then there are the 3D designs. David recently told us a client’s wife thought our Lumion renderings were actual photographs of a completed house—before the blueprints were even finalized. That’s not just flattering; that’s the kind of misunderstanding we live for. If someone thinks we’ve already built their dream home in SketchUp, you know we’re doing something right.

What makes this collaboration work isn’t just software skills (though yes, Lumion, and Chief Architect are always humming in the background). It’s the rhythm of trust, quick turnaround, and a good dose of humor. With David Michael Designs leading the creative charge and Brewster’s Drafting House providing precision and polish, we’ve created a partnership that consistently transforms big ideas into buildable realities.

So, here’s to the next project, the next set of 3D renderings mistaken for reality, and the next client who wonders how we built a house before construction even started. With David Michael Designs, it’s not just collaboration—it’s a no-brainer.
