A long history lies behind LifeStyle HomeDesign, with beginnings that stretch back to 1946 and the post-WWII housing boom, long before officially forming in 1994. These days, the company partners with designers from America's heartland to provide a wide variety of gorgeous, family-friendly home plans, as well as popular vacation houses. The collection includes styles like Country, Craftsman, Mediterranean, and Ranch. With striking features like walls of windows and open layouts, it's no wonder that LifeStyle plans have been used to build homes across the U.S. and internationally.

Jim Verhaest, Mark Englund, Doug Buster and Doug Sharp are partners in LifeStyle HomeDesign. All four have regularly involved themselves with professional organizations that include the American Institute of Architects, the American Institute of Building Design, and the Council of Publishing Home Designers.
