We place exquisite design and the value of art over mere construction. With years of experience, we deliver the highest level of artistic design with each project. This is a process that we enjoy and we work to ensure that our clients do as well. We create exciting new designs and contemporary interpretations of traditional styles to suite modern lifestyles. With our advanced computer modeling and rendering capabilities, our clients understand and can see their home before it is built.
Our Services Architectural Designs, Inc offers comprehensive design services from the exterior form of your home and the plan to the interior details. Our integrated project delivery process places a high importance on the quality of the design. This allows us to follow your project from the very first sketches we do for you to the day you get your keys, ensuring that the quality of the design is maintained in every detail. We partner with a number of diverse contractors with a commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability. We specialize in renewable energy solutions, so you can be assured of cutting-edge technology and an energy efficient home.
We have a modern approach to design. This begins with our first conversation. We listen to your needs and desires to clearly understand your dream home. From here, we begin to make sketches and to work out ideas until we have a plan that works for you. We create detailed computer models, using the most advanced technology available, to afford you with a great understanding of the design of your new home and to let you experience the spaces before they are built. Our services include all the details, including interior design and selection of materials and artwork. Once we agree on the design, we compile a complete set of construction documents for pricing and permitting. Our active involvement in the construction process ensures a smooth and enjoyable process.
Sustainability
We believe it is our responsibility to produce high performing, healthy buildings that have a lasting, positive affect on the people, environment and communities they serve. We strive for designs that are resource-efficient, enhance the site and community, and provide a healthy and enjoyable experience for the people who interact with them. We choose quality materials that are beautiful, durable, and lasting.

We will build a luxury home to suit your needs, and our network of artists, artisans, and contractors will provide you with a complete design-build solution, with custom furniture and artwork. We are prepared to offer these award-winning design services to bring a lifestyle of art and value to this or any lot you choose.
Previous Work Cli Residence The Cliff Residence is a winning design from a shipping container competition, held by NRW-Forum in Dusseldorf. The design was exhibited in the museum and published in their publication, Container Architektur. Designed for construction in a remote location, the materials are packed in construction sequence to streamline the process, and can be shipped and stored on site in the shipping containers. These containers then become the primary structure of the design.
King Residence The King Residence is one of a series of homes designed in the Autumn Woods neighborhood in Palm Harbor. The client requested a design that reflected the naturally wooded neighborhood in which it was built. Using a sealed natural cedar lapsiding, this elegant solution is at home in the wooded landscape. The large custom arch window gives the home a unique Postmodern image.
Steinbrenner Residence This large 1950’s vintage estate on the Palma Ceia Golf Course was updated with a completely new, modern floor plan and a sizable addition. These updates greatly increased the value of the home. Shortly after the renovations were completed, George Steinbrenner purchased the home, making it the highest valued home sale of the year.
The French Residence This home was featured in the design section of the Tampa Tribune. The French Residence is a two story brick home on the waterfront of Davis Islands. This early brick design later led to designs which received several awards for Best Brick Design in Florida from the State of Florida Masonry Association.
Pappas Residence The home sits on a steeply sloped site near the Tarpon River. Facing east, it allows full morning light into the clerestory window, while the roof line shades the window from the harsh midday sun. The ample morning light floods the lofted master bedroom, reflecting off of the ceiling and down into the living room below. This minimizes the need for electric lighting in the primary living spaces during daylight hours.
Maniscalco Residence The two story lake front home was renovated to modernize the interior. New custom built-in features were added throughout the home. In addition, the home was expanded and the South facing facade was redesigned. We designed all the built-in furniture as well as closely managed the construction of the entire project. The house was published on the cover of Florida Architect.
Sullivan Residence ADI worked with the first three dimensional computer models on the West Coast of Florida. Our 3D computer models are used to more easily communicate the design to the client. Later, our firm was asked to design a two story legal office in South Tampa for the same client. ADI works with Revit, the industry standard in 3D building information modeling (BIM).
Miller Residence This home was designed for a bachelor living on an exclusive island off of Honduras. Resting inside a barrier reef, there is only one road on the island, therefore, the primary transportation around the island is by boat. The design features a boat garage and is elevated high above the flood plane to protect the home from the storm surge.
Aparaua Residence Halfway between the beach resort city of Recife and Joao Pessoa, Brazil, this affluent area was once a sugar plantation. It is now being developed into a community of 5,000 high-end homes overlooking the ocean. The site is located on a plateau 108 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. This home was designed with a dramatic cantilever to maximize the views and exaggerate the elevation of the project.
Roehn Residence This two story brick home was designed for the Beach Park area of South Tampa. The house is on a corner lot underneath a large live oak. The tree is one of the main features of the property and remains a primary focus for the property. We have been recognized by the City of Tampa Parks Department for the environmentally sensitive measures we take to protect threatened, old growth trees.
Bongolan Residence Designed on White Trout Lake for a Thai family, this home blends Thai cultural lifestyle with western culture. It includes both indoor and outdoor kitchens. The outdoor kitchen is a traditional Thai kitchen and is the one primarily used by the family. The indoor kitchen is a contemporary western style. Some of the earliest computer modeling software was used to develop 3D studies of the house.
Theofilos Residence This 18,000 square foot white brick modern interpretation of a Southern Plantation mansion was designed with custom classical woodwork in the interior living spaces which increases the durability, sustainability and ultimately the value of the home. Originally bid at $1,200,000 in 1986, the woodwork was valued at over $300,000.
Lerner Residence A complete renovation was done to the interior of this Beach Park home. We also designed a 2000 square foot addition which reinterpreted the existing home from a contemporary perspective. The client returned several times to have another home renovated in South Bayshore and a new medical office designed for his practice.
Rosenthal Residence The property is located on the Westshore waterfront and the existing home was designed in the Addison Mizner style of Florida Spanish. The client requested that we design a contemporary interpretation of this style for a second story expansion. The challenge to stay within the new FEMA guidelines was met as a result of twenty years of experience serving as the head of the Tampa Flood Board.
Oliver Residence This 1980’s home, in the heart of New Suburb Beautiful, had a divided layout with a small, dark living room and kitchen. We remodeled the home with an addition to the rear and built a new detached garage. This opened up the living area to create one large living space which opened the kitchen to the living room. We also added a small informal dining area along with a spacious outdoor living space off the rear of the home. The back of the home creates a private little piece of the Garden of Eden.
