We are a reputable architectural design company that specializes in the design of unique homes and major additions. Thinking of retirement and want to downsize? You should check out our Patio Homes. Just starting out and need a starter home that expands easily? You should check out our Hybrid House Concept by visiting our web site at pappasarchitects.net. We take pride in our ability to exceed expectations in all aspects of business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction. I am a semi-retired architect who has designed some of the largest project in the area. I now want to help people who could not afford my services in the past. I have developed a method of working that avoids the high overhead costs of the main office if you are dealing with a residential project. If you can give me your Site or Existing Structure information along with your list of requirements, I will send you a preliminary concept in sketch form.

12 employees. Cost determined by the job. Additional information: lawn mowing for the South Hills area and Shadyside and Squirrel Hill areas of Pittsburgh only. DO NOT CALL THE PHONE NUMBER CONNECTED TO ANGIES LIST, with the link. PLEASE CALL. 412-886-9818 ONLY. Thank you and we look forward to working with you.
"I had a totally overgrown city corner lot. Joe and his team cleared the lot of a rusty broken chain link fence, vines, bushes, weeds, and poison ivy quickly and efficiently. The lot was then graded, making it a perfect blank slate to install the hardscape. Joe was masterful at taking my abstract ideas and turning them into a work of art. I wanted a design that is low maintenance, aesthetically pleasing, and appropriate for an urban setting and I got EXACTLY that! His team of workers are skilled, professional, and every so patient! This was not an easy job, especially during this summer’s heat wave. The logistics were formidable, but they were certainly well equipped for the job."

Building design services FAQs
Most municipalities require a building permit before you put up a pool house. Rules and fees vary widely depending on where you live and the local regulations in your area. Check with your local building department or general contractor early on in your pool house project, so permit costs and timelines don’t catch you off guard.
If you’re building a custom pool house, you can expect the entire process to take two to three months from the design phase to the end of construction, or even as much as a year for very large or complex pool houses. If you’re installing a prefabricated kit or shed, the process is much faster, averaging one to three days.
A pool house is generally sized between 100 square feet and 800 square feet, which means its dimensions directly reflect its intended functionality. A compact pool house, measuring 100 to 150 square feet, serves as an efficient storage or utility space, while a pool house of 300 square feet or more offers a comfortable room for changing, relaxation, and socializing. The size you choose depends on the intended use and design of your outdoor space, ensuring that the structure meets your lifestyle needs.
The common types of pool houses include guesthouses, standard pool houses, and sheds. A guesthouse is a small lodge adjacent to the primary home that provides overnight accommodations with essential amenities. A standard pool house is built near the pool to offer storage, changing facilities, and a relaxation zone. A shed is a simple structure designed for storing pool equipment and garden tools. Each type serves a distinct purpose and enhances your outdoor living experience.
