Design Freedom

Color Black White Design Freedom, Inc. is a full-service boutique architectural firm specializing in Homeowner projects. We are dedicated to bringing design freedom to homeowners, one home at a time. Our goal is to help our clients create their forever homes - a home that will fit their lifestyle for the rest of their lives.

Founded by Cathy Svercl, a registered architect licensed in Florida and Virginia with over 20 years of experience, Color Black White Design Freedom, Inc. is committed to delivering exceptional architectural design services. Our team takes a personalized approach to every project, listening carefully to the clients' needs, wants, and aspirations. We believe that the key to creating a successful forever home is understanding the client's unique lifestyle and designing a space that reflects their personality.

At Color Black White Design Freedom, Inc., we value a one-story living design with an open concept floor plan. We believe that this layout is best for everyone, particularly for those planning to age-in-place. Our designs incorporate no-step showers, grab bars, extra handrails, thoughtful lighting, wider doorways, and hallways. Our homes are designed to be energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and resilient, using building science and best practices for the local climate. We carefully select durable materials and products that minimize energy costs over the next 10 years.

Our clients typically subscribe to the thought that bigger is not necessarily better. They prefer quality over quantity and value green or energy-efficient projects that save money and think long-term. Our designs incorporate multiple generations and prioritize privacy and independence, while also providing spaces for the family to come together.
