Do the Dhu
For the owners of Do the Dhu, the dream of building their perfect family home seemed impossible. After their original chosen construction company failed to complete architectural plans and was unable to accommodate them in its schedule, the project seemed destined to remain a fantasy. But with the help of Bellwether Design Build, that dream quickly became a reality.
Taking over where their original team had left off, Bellwether developed a design plan that fit within their budget parameters while also meeting their aesthetic vision. In just a few short months, we moved the project from concept to construction, delivering a home that beautifully blends southern storybook charm with a touch of California cool. The result is a timeless, modern space that perfectly fits the needs of a busy family of five.

Key Features
One of the key aspects of the design was flexibility for the future. The family of five needed a home that could grow with them. We included thoughtful planning for the future finish-out of the second story, which was designed with ease of completion in mind. This gives the family the option to expand their living space when the time is right, without having to make major changes down the road.
Blending Southern Storybook & California Cool
The design strikes a perfect balance between the charm of traditional southern architecture and the relaxed, airy vibes of California cool. The front of the home features a narrow stile and rail door, which sets the tone for a stylish, modern entry while maintaining a sense of warmth and approachability. The blend of classic and contemporary elements makes the home feel both timeless and fresh.
Interior Charm with a Modern Twist
Inside, the home offers an updated yet timeless aesthetic. Classic trim details like v-groove paneling in the hallways and along the feature walls bring a sense of traditional craftsmanship, while modern touches like sleek lighting fixtures and open-concept living areas keep the home feeling fresh and current. The vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom adds an extra layer of elegance, creating a sense of openness and light, while still maintaining a cozy, welcoming feel.
Kitchen as the Heart of the Home
The kitchen is undeniably the showstopper of the home. Designed to be both functional and beautiful, it features an oversized, arched range hood that acts as a focal point, adding architectural interest while maintaining a clean, modern look. The spacious layout provides ample counter space and storage, making it an ideal space for a busy family to cook, gather, and entertain.
