Designing Efficient, Sustainable Homes in Lake Anna I Best of Houzz
Building Homes That Actually Fit Your Life
40+ years of experience. Zero cookie-cutter BS.
We get it. You've done your research, you know what you want, and you're not looking for some generic builder who's going to try to upsell you on granite countertops and call it "custom."
At Southern Image Design/Builders, we've been creating truly personalized homes around Lake Anna for over four decades. We're ENERGY STAR and GREEN certified because we know sustainability isn't just a buzzword for you, it's how you want to live.
Here's How We're Different
We actually listen. Your Pinterest boards, your late-night Zillow scrolling, that weird space you need for your home office/yoga studio/guitar collection—we want to hear about all of it. Then we'll help you make it work within your budget and timeline. We handle the overwhelm. Building or renovating a home shouldn't feel like a second job. Our team manages every detail from initial design through final walkthrough, keeping you informed without drowning you in construction jargon. We stay current. While some builders are still suggesting builder-grade everything, we're constantly researching new materials, smart home tech, and design trends that actually make sense for how you live.
What We Do
From ADUs for your aging parents to home offices that don't feel like a closet, we cover everything:
•Custom homes that reflect your actual lifestyle (not what HGTV thinks it should be)
•Smart renovations that maximize your space and budget
•Sustainable design because your carbon footprint matters
•Universal design for homes that work as your needs change
•3D rendering so you can actually visualize what you're getting
