Our design team knows the area well and will work with you to create the custom home plan that fits your needs and reflects your style.

More than just a blueprint, our design systems provide a 3D walk-through with customizations down to trim details.

"AJ and his team have done a fantastic job designing our home in Anna Maria. His creativity and willingness to listen to us and make our design come to life has been a great experience. He is personable, easy to work with, and his experience helped us to design and build a very unique home just the way we envisioned it but do it very economically. We have worked with a lot of architects over time, but Beacon Home Design has exceeded our expectations in every way. Give them a call. We believe you will be glad you did."

"Competent, creative, efficient, flexible, and talented is how I would sum up Beacon Home Designer, AJ Barnard. AJ has designed hundreds of houses in the Manatee County area, mostly on Anna Maria Island. And the reason is clear, because his vision for a house that one would find most appealing comes to life in his drawing. Walk along any of the streets of the city of Anna Maria, and you will see a lot of his work. I highly recommend him."
