1. What is the first step to designing a luxury oceanfront home with Schultz Architecture?

Your journey begins with a consultation where we learn your vision, goals, property details, timeline, and preferences. From there, we establish a clear design path tailored to your project.

​

2. Do you design homes outside of Miami?

Yes. Schultz Architecture designs luxury waterfront homes throughout Florida, including Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, Palm Beach, Sarasota, Tampa, and other high-end coastal markets.

​

3. How long does the architectural design process take?

Most luxury oceanfront homes range from 8–16 weeks for full architectural design, depending on size, complexity, and customization level. Larger estates or multi-structure properties may require additional time.

​

4. Can you design a home if I’m located out-of-state or international?

Absolutely. Many clients live outside Florida. Our process is designed for remote collaboration, including virtual meetings, 3D visualization, and digital design approvals.

​

5. Do you help with permits and engineering?

Yes. We coordinate with structural, mechanical, civil, and all required consultants. We also assist with coastal permitting, FEMA requirements, zoning, and local jurisdictional approvals.

​

6. What makes Schultz Architecture different from other architects?

We specialize exclusively in luxury oceanfront and waterfront estates, blending bold modern architecture with breathtaking views, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and distinctive design elements tailored to each client.

​

7. Can you design on challenging or narrow waterfront lots?

Yes. Many luxury coastal properties require strategic design solutions. We maximize view corridors, natural light, structural integrity, and usable space—even on unique or restrictive lots.

​

8. What is included in the design package?

Your architecture package includes schematic design, full architectural drawings, 3D visualizations, material concept guidance, and coordination with required consultants.

​

9. Do you offer site visits?

Yes. Site evaluations are available for Florida locations. For out-of-state or international clients, virtual assessments and local collaborations are used until an in-person visit is needed.

​

10. How soon should I schedule a consultation?

As early as possible. Waterfront properties often require advanced planning for setbacks, elevation requirements, and view optimization. Early design involvement ensures the best result.
