Design the Home Your Family Will Gather Around for Generations
Create a legacy home designed for health, wellness, family connection, and the next chapter of an extraordinary life.
The Home That Served Your Family May Not Serve Your Future
For decades, your home was designed around raising children, managing busy schedules, and supporting a growing family. But today, your priorities are different.You may be thinking about wellness, travel, hosting family, enjoying retirement, or creating a place where children and grandchildren love to visit.This next chapter deserves a home intentionally designed around the life you want to live now.
This Isn't Downsizing. It's Designing What Comes Next.
Many people believe the next step is a smaller home, a condo, or a retirement community. We believe the next chapter should be defined by possibility, not reduction. The right home can support your health, strengthen family connections, and create the foundation for a richer and more meaningful lifestyle.
What If Home Felt Like Your Favorite Vacation Every Day?
The environments we live in influence how we feel, how we connect, and how we spend our time. Vacation Style Living® combines thoughtful design, natural light, indoor-outdoor living, wellness-focused spaces, and intentional planning to create homes that reduce stress and support everyday enjoyment. Because home should be the place that restores you, not the place you need to escape from.
Build More Than a Home. Build a Legacy.
The most meaningful homes are not defined by size or luxury.They are defined by the memories created inside them. A legacy home becomes the setting for holidays, celebrations, family traditions, and everyday moments that matter most. It creates a reason for children, grandchildren, and loved ones to return year after year.
Designed for a Longer, Healthier Life
Natural light, wellness spaces, indoor-outdoor connections, thoughtful layouts, and age-friendly design strategies all contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Our homes are designed to help clients stay active, reduce daily stress, and enjoy the freedom that comes from living in a space built specifically around their needs.
A Different Way to Think About Home
As architects, builders, real estate professionals, and authors of Vacation Style Living®, Francisca and Antonio believe that a home should do more than provide shelter. It should support wellness, strengthen relationships, create lasting memories, and inspire the way you live every day. That philosophy guides every project we create.

What Clients Are Saying
-
We love the design. We love the uniqueness of our home. Most new homes only differ by the numbers on the mailbox. You cannot tell one from another. We wanted something unique, something special and I feel that is exactly what we got.

What could have been an extraordinarily difficult process – essentially building a brand-new home from the inside out – was made easy by Francisca, Tony, and their entire team. Being both the architect and builder, the design and construction flowed seamlessly.

From the very beginning, they took their time and expertise to guide us through every stage of the design and construction process, providing a single point of contact that eliminated the usual stress of dealing with multiple parties. Working with Francisca and Tony was nothing short of a delight.
Catherine Custom Home Design-Build Client

5 years ago my husband started to look for builders that were building the kind of home we wanted, a vacation home for our daily busy lives with lots of lights, fantastic outdoor spaces and practical living spaces, and we found the perfect architects to help us in that endeavor - AV Architects and Builders.
Andrea Custom Home Design-Build Client
-
Once we realized we needed to build to get what we wanted we started researching. We met with Francisca at a spec home they built and one of the first things she told us is that they don't build spaces with no purpose. It's funny, because we were at a huge house in Great Falls, but it still full intimate and purposeful.
