More Than Design.
Thoughtful Guidance for Building, Remodeling & Living Better.
Many homeowners hesitate to hire an architect because they feel uncertain about the details—what their renovation or addition should look like, how large a new home should be, or even where to begin. Our Architectural Services are designed to answer those questions through a structured, collaborative design process. We guide you from big-picture decisions to detailed ones, asking the right questions, analyzing constraints and opportunities, and offering thoughtful solutions grounded in experience. Each phase builds on the work completed before it, giving you a clear framework for making informed decisions with confidence as your project evolves.
At Hentz Inspired Living, we help homeowners, builders, and remodelers create thoughtful, functional homes through residential architectural design, interior planning, and construction collaboration. Our focus is trusted guidance that reduces overwhelm and costly mistakes. Our process is designed to bring clarity to complex projects — helping clients avoid overwhelm, reduce costly surprises, and make confident decisions before construction begins. From remodel planning and kitchen & bath design to custom homes, finish selections, and aging-in-place solutions, we believe great design should improve the way people live every day.
PROJECT DEFINITION:
Our Project Definition service is a standalone offering for clients who want to explore what’s possible without committing to full design services. This phase includes zoning analysis, preliminary space planning, and written outline notes. The goal is to provide enough clarity that a qualified general contractor can offer preliminary cost guidance, helping you determine whether and how to move forward with your project.

Thoughtful Design for Real Life
Bridging Design & Construction
At Hentz Inspired Living, our mission is to help families create homes that truly support the way they live. We combine residential design, interior planning, and real-world construction understanding to guide homeowners through renovations, remodels, and new home projects with confidence. Whether it’s updating a kitchen, improving functionality, preparing a home for aging in place, or designing a dream home from the ground up, we believe thoughtful design can transform everyday living.
Architectural Design Services
Our full architectural services provide comprehensive design guidance from initial concept through construction completion. Whether you’re planning a new home or a major addition, we work closely with homeowners through every stage—from early design ideas to the final punch list.
As outlined in detail on our Process page, this collaborative approach leads to successful projects by addressing decisions at every scale, from overall construction strategy to the smallest design details. Once the design is complete, we prepare clear documentation for permitting and construction, ensuring the home you envisioned is built as intended. We remain actively involved during construction, working closely with general contractors and meeting regularly to address questions and resolve issues, because we believe hands-on collaboration delivers the best outcomes for our clients.

Finish and material options for existing homes
Thank YOU so much for your thoughtful (and beautiful) design. I LOVE the roof line. Doing a walkthough after the framing was finished really brought your design to life. There are so many little things that now make so much sense to me! For example, how you did the entrance to the master bedroom, the entry door is not right at the hallway, it goes in a little bit. That was such a tasteful touch and it made a big difference aesthetically. I cannot wait to see the addition after the walls are up!

Building or Remodeling a Home Shouldn’t Feel Overwhelming
For most homeowners, building or remodeling a home is exciting — until the decisions begin.
Suddenly, there are hundreds of moving pieces:
Plans. Budgets. Contractors. Materials. Layouts. Finishes. Priorities. Conflicting advice.
Endless decisions. Many people feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or afraid of making expensive mistakes.
You may wonder:
Will this layout work long term?
Are we spending money in the right places?
Will we regret this later?
Why does everyone have a different opinion?
How do we make decisions confidently?
At Hentz Inspired Living, we believe homeowners deserve better than confusion.
You deserve thoughtful guidance, honest answers, and someone helping you see the bigger picture.
That is why we exist.

The Experience Was as Beautiful as the Home
"Everyone admires the finished house. Very few people understand how enjoyable the journey was. We expected stress, difficult conversations, endless revisions, and overwhelming decisions. Instead, we experienced clarity, collaboration, and genuine partnership. Susan created an environment where we always felt heard, respected, and understood. Looking back, our favorite part wasn't moving into the house. It was watching the vision come to life with someone who cared about it as deeply as we did."
