Hello! I’m Colin Fishbaugh, Founder of Westwood Design Studio!

I'm a Licensed Architect who believes your home should enhance daily life, not complicate it. My practice focuses on guiding homeowners through the design and building process with clarity and intention, creating homes that go beyond what conventional building practices typically offer.

We use purposeful design guided by better efficiency and scale.

At Westwood Design Studio, our work is rooted in traditional midwest agrarian design with a refined, modern touch. Our work focuses on architecture that prioritizes longevity and efficiency over current trends. We embrace the time-honored European attitudes towards efficiency while molding the design to be at home in our cultural context. We are drawn to local natural materials that ground a home in its landscape and honor regional building traditions. Every project is an opportunity to create healthy, comfortable spaces through sensible sustainable practices and thoughtful construction methods.

Most importantly, we believe homeowners deserve to understand the 'why' behind every design decision. Your home is an investment in how You will live for decades to come.

If you're considering building one of our homes, have questions about our home plan design packages, or simply want to discuss your project, I'd love to connect! Reach out through the link below.
