Residential Design

R.O. Anderson’s architectural design services can be utilized for a wide variety of residential and small commercial projects.  We provide design services for residential projects, including remodels and additions of all sizes, production housing, condominiums, and intricate custom homes. Light commercial and industrial project abilities range from sign monuments and storage buildings to churches, retail, office, municipal, educational, and community buildings. Our familiarity with local agencies, regulations, prevailing building codes, engineering standards, and development ordinances allows us to work efficiently through the approval process. The added advantage of in-house engineering services, including analysis design and preparation of structural documents, make R.O. Anderson your one stop shop for architectural and structural services.

Acknowledging that each project is unique as well as understanding the property, performance of materials, and design solutions best for our local environment allows us to achieve the optimal solution for our clients. When planning a new residence or an addition/remodel of an existing residence, professional design is often overlooked as the first step in a successful project. During the design process, we interview the client to establish preferences relative to personality, lifestyle, stylistic desires, or any other special needs. Additionally, we account for climatic conditions and physical considerations of the building site. We specialize in creating uniquely livable homes that reflect our client’s dreams, while also responding to construction and budget realities.

Prairie Residential Design Project – Carson City, Nevada

R.O. Anderson was engaged to design a “Prairie Style” home with architectural influences from Frank Lloyd Wright in the gated community of Carson Country Estates.

The large single story home features a detached garage connected by a breezeway. The plan steps several times to match the natural topography and fit the site with minimal land disturbance and excavation. It features high transom windows from every south facing room taking advantage of unobstructed views of Job’s Peak.
