Who We Are
Designing Homes That Feel Effortless, Warm, and Beautifully Livable
Brett Drum Architecture is a boutique residential architecture studio dedicated to creating thoughtful, custom homes throughout Pennsylvania. We specialize in custom new builds, transformative renovations, and highly detailed additions that bring clarity, comfort, and elevated design to everyday living.
Our work is grounded in a simple belief: a well-designed home should feel intuitive, warm, and deeply personal. We shape spaces around the way families actually live—flow, light, materials, privacy, and connection—so the architecture enhances life rather than complicates it.
What We Do
Custom Homes
We design one-of-a-kind residences built around how you live, entertain, rest, and connect. Every line, material, and spatial decision is intentional.
Major Renovations & Additions
Whether you’re reimagining your existing home or expanding with new spaces, we create designs that feel cohesive, natural, and tailor-made for your lifestyle.
Interior Architecture & Finish Design
From kitchen layouts to built-in details, lighting concepts, and material palettes, we ensure the interiors and architecture work together seamlessly.
Detailed Drawings & Builder Coordination
Our construction documents provide clarity and precision, making the building process smoother, more predictable, and more enjoyable.
What You Can Expect
A Clear, Guided Process
We lead you through each step—from early vision and concept design to technical documentation and construction involvement—so you always know what comes next.
A Calm, Modern Aesthetic
Clean lines, warm materials, and simple elegance define our work. We create spaces that feel modern but never cold, timeless but never generic.
Hands-On Architecture
We limit the number of projects we take so each client receives principal-level involvement and a design process rooted in collaboration and care.
Beautiful, Buildable Solutions
We believe good design is both inspiring and practical. Our plans balance creativity with constructability to ensure your home is as effortless to build as it is to live in.

Designing Your Next Chapter

We’d be honored to create something exceptional with you.
