Design Studio
Draw it
before you
build it
Pick what you’re building and watch it take shape. Change the cladding, the roof, the pitch, the size. When it looks right, send the whole concept to Ryan Henry in one click — with a planning range attached, so nobody wastes anybody’s time.
A photoreal AI image of this exact configuration — cladding, roof, style, the lot.
Style reference — this image was generated by AI from what you described. It is not a design, not a plan, and not something we’ve priced. It exists to check we’re picturing the same thing.
Drag the corner to resize, tap the ⟳ to rotate it 90°, or double-click it to rename it — dimensions update as you go.
An AI image generated from your exact choices — a style reference, not a design.
What are you building?
How big, roughly?
Not sure? Pick the closest room or building you already know the size of. We refine this at the first meeting.
Anything specific in mind?
Optional. Goes straight into the AI rendering and the project summary you can send us — word for word.

Customize from your own photo
Upload a photo of the actual space, add rough dimensions and what you want changed, and get it back edited to match your style, palette and material choices above.
Your photo
Your photo is sent to Anthropic and Google to generate this one edited image, then discarded — nothing is stored on the server.
Open it in SketchUp
Download a real, to-scale 3D starting shape built from the exact numbers above — footprint, wall height and roof pitch. Open it in SketchUp to rotate it, walk through it, and keep building on it yourself, or send it to our team as a starting point for a proper model.
Opens via SketchUp’s Ruby Console (Window ▸ Ruby Console — needs SketchUp Pro or Studio, not the free web app). It builds walls, a roof and, if you picked them, a deck and a loft floor — no windows or doors cut in yet, so treat it as a rough massing model, not a finished design.
Why a range and not a price
Anyone who gives you a firm number before walking your site is guessing, and the guess will be wrong in the direction that suits them. A range tells you whether to keep going. That is all it is for.
What moves the number most
Site access, foundations, servicing, and how far you take the finish. Square footage matters less than people expect. A small cottage on rock with no road can cost more than a big one on a level lot.
What happens next
Send your concept over and we will come out, walk the site, and go through the scope with you. The estimate that comes out of that meeting is a real one.
