Architectural Trim Designer Needed – High-End Garage & Carport Exterior

I’m looking for an experienced architectural designer (or architect) to help design a premium exterior trim package for my home’s garage and carport. This is not simply a rendering project. I’m looking for someone with a strong architectural eye who understands proportion, layering, classical trim composition, and how to create an upscale, timeless exterior using real-world building products. Project Goals The objective is to create a trim package that: * Feels refined, high-end, and architecturally significant. * Fits a coastal/New England style home. * Avoids looking overly ornate or overly plain. * Can actually be built by my contractor. * Uses trim profiles that are commercially available from manufacturers (AZEK, Versatex, Boral, WindsorONE, etc. — whichever produces the best architectural result). The final deliverable must be practical enough that I can hand it to a local building supplier and purchase everything needed. Scope of Work Phase 1 – Design Concepts Develop 3 architectural concepts showing different trim approaches for: * Garage façade * Front carport opening * Rear carport opening (if applicable) These should be presented as mood boards using actual trim profiles and molding combinations from manufacturer catalogs. The goal is to compare architectural styles before moving into detailed design. Phase 2 – Visualization After a concept is selected, create a realistic visualization showing how the proposed trim package will look on my home. This visualization should accurately communicate: * Overall appearance * Scale * Proportions * Layering * Shadow lines Millwork-level modeling of every profile is not required. Phase 3 – Construction Package Once the design is finalized, prepare: * Complete material list * Manufacturer and product names * Profile numbers * Quantities * Any notes needed so my contractor can purchase and install the design. Ideal Candidate I’m looking for someone who has experience with: * Exterior architectural detailing * Classical or traditional trim design * Luxury residential homes * PVC/composite trim systems * Reading manufacturer catalogs * Producing buildable construction details If you’ve designed garages, carriage houses, coastal homes, or custom millwork packages, that’s a major plus. What I’ll Provide * Photos of the existing home * Existing elevations * Dimensions * Feedback throughout the design process When Applying Please include: 1. Examples of exterior trim or façade projects you’ve designed. 2. Any experience working with AZEK, Versatex, WindsorONE, Boral, or similar manufacturers. 3. Your proposed approach to the project. 4. Your estimated timeline. I’m looking for someone with excellent design instincts who can elevate the architecture—not simply add decorative trim.
