Thoughtfully designed. Distinctly yours.
A more personal approach to residential architecture.
At CShort Designs, we believe exceptional architecture begins with understanding the people who will call it home.
Founded by licensed architect Chrissy Petersen, our boutique residential architecture studio specializes in custom homes, whole-home renovations, and thoughtfully integrated additions. Each project is approached with a fresh perspective, balancing timeless design, purposeful function, and a deep appreciation for its surroundings.
We believe a well-designed home should feel as natural as it is beautiful. Every detail tailored to the way you live and designed to stand the test of time.
With a collaborative, hands-on approach, we guide our clients from the earliest ideas through construction, creating homes that are distinctly personal and enduring in character.
Our Expertise
Custom Residences
From the earliest concepts to the final architectural details, we design one-of-a-kind homes that thoughtfully balance the character of the site, the vision of the client, and the rhythms of everyday life.
Whole-Home Renovations
We reimagine existing residences through a thoughtful architectural lens, honoring what makes a home special while creating new possibilities for how it can function, feel, and evolve.
Architectural Additions
Seamlessly integrating new spaces with existing architecture, we create additions that feel intentional, cohesive, and thoughtfully connected to the original home.
