– Kevin Young
For nearly four decades, Kevin Young Designers has created homes that are as personal as the families who live in them.
Every family is unique. Every home should be, too.
Whether designing a custom luxury residence, a thoughtful renovation, or transforming an existing home, our process begins with listening. We believe exceptional design starts with understanding how you live today while thoughtfully planning for tomorrow.
No two families live the same way. That’s why Kevin Young Designers begins with a conversation—not a floor plan.
Designing a home is one of the most personal journeys a family will ever take. Long before the foundation is poured or the first wall is framed, it begins with a conversation—learning how a family lives, what inspires them, and what they hope their home will become.
For nearly four decades, I have had the privilege of designing custom homes across Texas and beyond. Looking back, those conversations have given me far more than the opportunity to design beautiful homes—they’ve introduced me to some of the finest people I’ve ever known. Many of my clients have become lifelong friends, and that has been one of the greatest blessings of my career.
That philosophy has guided every project since I founded Kevin Young Designers in 1988. Every home is unique because every family is unique. My responsibility is to listen, understand, and create a custom home that feels truly theirs.

Our process is personal, collaborative, and built around understanding how you live today while planning thoughfully for what may come next.
We do not begin with a questionnaire because a form cannot tell us how you live. Instead, we sit down together to learn about your family, your routines, and your hopes for your home. By asking thoughtful questions and listening carefully, we uncover the ideas that will shape a home designed specifically for you.
Once we understand your lifestyle, we begin exploring floor plans, room relationships, and architectural concepts that reflect the way you live. Through sketching and conversation, the design begins to take shape—balancing beauty, function, and the needs of your family both now and in the years ahead.
As the design evolves, we refine each element together—from room proportions and natural light to cabinetry, outdoor living, and architectural character. We also consider long-term resale value, making thoughtful decisions that protect your investment because none of us know what life may bring.
When the design is fully resolved, we prepare a complete set of construction documents for your builder. Our goal is to provide the clarity and precision needed to bring your home to life, while remaining available to answer questions and support the project as it moves toward construction.
Your home should be more than a beautiful structure—it should reflect the way you live, what you value, and how you envision your future. At Kevin Young Designers, we create thoughtfully planned homes that combine personal style, functionality, comfort, and timeless design. Our custom home design approach transforms your ideas into a distinctive living environment created specifically around your lifestyle.
Whether you are planning a brand-new residence, an expansive family home, or a sophisticated retreat, our team works closely with you to develop a design that feels personal from the very first sketch to the completed plans.
Every homeowner has different priorities. Some families need flexible spaces for growing children, while others want dedicated areas for entertaining, working, relaxing, or enjoying outdoor living. Our role as an experienced custom home designer is to understand those needs before putting them on paper.
We begin by learning about your lifestyle, preferences, goals, and vision for your property. From room relationships and circulation to architectural details and natural light, every element is considered as part of the larger design.
Our custom home design services are built around collaboration, allowing your ideas and feedback to guide the project while our design expertise brings structure and refinement to the process.
A successful home begins with a well-developed plan. As a dedicated custom home design company, we provide a comprehensive design experience that takes your project from initial concept to detailed working drawings.
Our process includes:
This collaborative process helps ensure that your finished plans are practical, visually cohesive, and aligned with your expectations. Our structured approach is designed to make the experience easier to understand while minimizing the uncertainty that can come with designing a new home.
Luxury is not simply about size or expensive finishes. True luxury comes from thoughtful details, exceptional comfort, and spaces designed around the people who use them. Our luxury custom home design services focus on creating homes where aesthetics and functionality work together naturally.
From impressive entryways and spacious living areas to gourmet kitchens, primary bedroom suites, home offices, entertainment spaces, outdoor kitchens, pavilions, and specialized rooms, we consider how every area connects to the overall experience of the home.
As a luxury home design firm, we can help translate your ideas into refined architectural concepts while maintaining the practical considerations that make a home enjoyable for everyday living.
Building a new home gives you the opportunity to create something that works for your lifestyle from the ground up. Our new construction home design services help you make informed design decisions before construction begins.
We carefully consider the relationship between spaces, traffic flow, natural lighting, storage, functionality, exterior character, and future needs. Whether your vision is traditional, contemporary, transitional, or highly personalized, we develop a design that reflects your preferences rather than relying on generic plans.
Our detailed custom home plans designer approach gives homeowners a clear foundation for moving forward with their construction project.
Since 1988, Kevin Young Designers has focused on creating residential spaces that reflect the individual needs and aspirations of homeowners. Our experience includes homes designed for different stages of life, from growing families and entertaining spaces to multigenerational living and comfortable aging-in-place environments.
As a residential home designer, we understand that a successful home must balance beauty with everyday practicality. Our designs are developed with careful attention to how people actually live, move, gather, work, and relax within their homes.
Your dream home starts with an idea. We help turn that idea into a clear and purposeful design through communication, creativity, and careful planning. Our team takes the time to understand your vision, develop preliminary concepts, create detailed drawings, and refine the plans based on your feedback.
The result is a home design that is personal, functional, and created with your long-term needs in mind.
Ready to move beyond cookie-cutter plans and create a home designed specifically for you? Kevin Young Designers is here to help bring your vision to life with personalized custom home design and residential design expertise.

Posted on Google David JohnstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose Kevin Young as our designer after interviewing several other design firms. We chose him on a combination of his experience, accessibility, and price (some firms charged significantly more for the same services and others less but didn’t provide the level of detail we wanted). Although this was our first custom home build (4,000 plus feet), we had a very specific idea for what we wanted. We appreciated that Kevin respected our vision at each stage of the design process. He met with us multiple times in person, through emails and texts. He took time to problem solve challenging design ideas we had, and was up-front (which we appreciated) to offer suggestions and push-back when he felt we were making a decision we might regret later. We relied on his wealth of experience in the industry to connect us with our interior designer and engineer, ensuring that we had continuity during the critical pre-build period. Kevin has one goal during the design process, making sure you as his client have a home design that meets your expectations. He more than met ours.Posted on Google Taylor MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin designed a new build for me and did an amazing job. His vision made the process both extremely fast and efficient. I couldn't be happier with the process start to finish, and I hope I can build another hope with him one day.Posted on Google L GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin Young has designed 2 homes for us which we have been extremely happy with. If you’re building or redesigning a home to fit your lifestyle, I would highly recommend him. Setting up your home design that will meet all your needs is critical in the beginning stages of building a home. It’s worth the cost to do it right from the beginning. We are so happy with the results and he exceeded our expectations as usual.Posted on Google James BowenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin done tons of homes for me over the years he is terrificPosted on Google Shona BasconTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We posted an ad on Nextdoor and asked for a recommendation, and that's how I found out about Kevin Young Designers, Inc. Kevin gave us a couple of options to look at for our addition, and explained how the process works because this was the first time we had done it. He is a really good listener. We wanted additional bids from engineers and others and he recommended people to us. He came out and spent a lot of time with us walking around, looking at our house, asking us questions, taking measurements down and looking at our backyard.Posted on Google Gustavo Pigurina Marcela GaviriaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found out about Kevin Young Designers, Inc. through our builder. The design of the house was really accurate to what we needed and wanted. We were very happy with the design that Kevin made for us. The timing and the schedule that he gave us was just right too. He is really good at putting into the design the desires and the wishes of the customers. Kevin Young Designers, Inc. is a great company, has a lot of experience, and I really recommend it.Posted on Google Nancy VerlyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel like I am very opinionated when it comes to what I want done with my house. Kevin of Kevin Young Designers, Inc. was the best listener ever and did exactly what I wanted. The drawings came out exactly as I would have drawn them myself. I found out about him through a family friend who is a builder. Kevin Young Designers, Inc. ended up designing a whole upstairs, second-story addition. Kevin was really in tune with our needs and wants. He listened so well that I feel I couldn't have found anyone else who could have done it better than he did. Kevin Young Designers, Inc. is also very timely and professional.Posted on Google RiRi CostelloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin Young Designers, Inc.’s architectural drawings are really great. Kevin’s very detailed and is extremely reasonably priced, in my opinion. When we got the extension on our garage and built our patio kitchen, we were in a time crunch, and he got the job done to our satisfaction. Kevin is very detailed and he makes sure that he responds to any of our questions. We had a really good experience. This was not the first time we have worked with Kevin. If we had not had a good experience the first time, we would not have come back the second time.Posted on Google A.J ObenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very pleased with Kevin Young Designers, Inc.’s work. We liked what Kevin did for us. He was very responsive and understood the voice of the customer. He came out to the property, saw what we had and gave us ideas on what to do. He just really helped us through the whole process really well. We found out about him through our builder and he ended up designing our whole house. He was very quick with his turn around and gave us exactly what I was looking for. He was really easy to work with. He never said we changed something too many times. We must have gone through 20 different changes and he was very patient. I never once felt like I was bothering him. Everything I asked for he gave to us.
