Our Philosophy
The home represents a sacred place of peace, calm, and security. A place where we can leave the world and listen to our own rhythm. When you build a home, you’re making a long term commitment to a space where lifelong memories are made. A place for watching first steps, celebrating birthdays, and enjoying family holidays.
At Neat House Plans + Laidback living we care about individuality in an industry where cookie-cutter communities have become the norm. We strive to create inspiring and timeless designs that take on the life of the inhabitants within them. We prefer the personal to the perfect and we favor classic and livable over trendy and transient.
We believe that by working within the realm of responsible and thoughtful design, we can do our part in improving the fabric of our communities and people’s lives on an individual level. Neat House Plans + Laidback Living is dedicated to you living your best life at home.
