TAKE CONTROL OF THE HOME CREATION PROCESS.

In 2017, we set out to put control into the hands of countless ambitious and aspiring homeowners eager to design and build their perfect home.

OUR VISION:

To help aspiring homeowners lead happier, healthier, and more meaningful lives.

We built a platform to remove the barriers of confusion and frustration in the homebuilding process, even if you’re a rookie.

the OPEN DOOR
An online resource that provides resources, tools, support, and community to aspiring homeowners seeking to build a better life with the perfect home and wanting a welcoming, empowering, and inspiring place to learn, take action, and succeed.

(We share more about our purpose-driven brand, including our thought process for the OPEN DOOR vision, mission, values, and personality, here.)

Through our free content, our paid resources and anything else we might offer — we’re in this to make a difference. We’re here to help you create a home (and a life) that you truly love – a home that is one of a kind, unique and brilliantly tailored for you. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to make a big change on your current home, we’re here to empower you to take action on creating a meaningful home project.

Happy, healthy, and meaningful lives start with a great home.
