Hi, good day. I understand the key challenge is designing a new residential home in a Lee County historic district while satisfying current building requirements without compromising the established architectural character of the surrounding historic area. I have experience with residential architectural design and code-focused documentation, and I can develop the concept around the district’s applicable preservation criteria, massing, proportions, façade composition, materials, setbacks, and streetscape relationships, then coordinate the design with zoning and building-code requirements through the permit set. I’ll keep the historic-context analysis and modern construction requirements coordinated from schematic design through detailed drawings so the final proposal is both appropriate to the district and practical to build. I’d be glad to review the site information and applicable historic guidelines and discuss the project further. Which historic district and zoning designation is the property in? Best regards.
