Thoughtful Design. Comprehensive Project Management. Beautiful Results.
METRO ATLANTA’S Expert Remodeling and Custom Home Design Team
Design That Accounts for Your Home, Your Budget, and Your Timeline
You're not just remodeling a kitchen or reworking your home's floor plan. You're planning where your family eats on weeknights, where everyone crowds in at Thanksgiving, and where you'll spend game nights. That deserves more than a sketch and a handshake.
Delano Designs is led by Ryan Delano, who takes your project from first conversation through final walkthrough. He designs the space, documents it completely, coordinates your permits, selects your finishes, and works with your builder so you're both agreeing to the same project before construction starts. One person, start to finish.
We're not your general contractor. You hire your builder directly. You're our client, so you'll always get our honest recommendation, and your builder gets a clear, well-documented project to price and build.
Already Have Part of Your Project Team?
Already working with a builder, architect, building designer, or interior designer? Delano Designs can step in where you need support, from design and permit documentation to a detailed bill of materials, procurement, contractor pricing coordination, or construction administration. We collaborate with the professionals you've already chosen, so nothing has to start over.

Services
Design & Permit-Ready Plans
Your remodel, planned completely on paper. We document your home as it exists, design the new layout, and produce the full drawing set your contractor prices and builds from. It's the foundation of nearly every project we take on.
Services
Permit Package
Permit filing and municipal coordination for your jurisdiction. We prepare the submittal documents, file them, respond to plan-review comments, and see it through to an issued permit. Atlanta, Decatur, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Chamblee, Dunwoody, and unincorporated DeKalb each run their own process.
Services
Kitchen Remodeling Design
Layout and workflow planning, cabinetry and storage design, appliance and ventilation planning, lighting and electrical coordination, and countertop, backsplash, and fixture selection, detailed in millwork drawings.
Services
Bathroom Remodeling Design
Space planning and fixture layouts, shower and tub design, tile layouts, vanity and storage design, and waterproofing and constructability coordination that determine whether a bathroom holds up.
Services
Basement Remodeling Design
Unfinished square footage turned into rec rooms, guest suites, or full in-law arrangements. We plan around the mechanical systems, ceiling heights, and egress requirements that shape what's possible down there.
Services
Exterior Remodeling Design
Additions, exterior elevations and massing studies, porch and deck planning, window and door coordination, and roofing, siding, and trim selections. Context-sensitive work for homes with architecture worth matching.
Services
Whole Home Remodeling Design
Reworking how an entire house functions, not just one room. We plan the circulation, resolve the structural questions, sequence the phases, and document all of it so a large project can be priced and built without improvising.
Services
Custom Home Design
Residential design and construction documentation for building from the ground up. We develop the plans and produce the full document set, then coordinate the engineers, surveyors, and civil work your site requires.
Services
Construction Administration & Preconstruction Coordination
Before you sign, we work with your builder to clarify inclusions, exclusions, allowances, purchasing responsibilities, and schedule so everyone understands the scope. Comparing several builders? We offer bid leveling too. Then we stay on through construction for RFIs, field conditions, site observations, inspections, material procurement, and closeout.
Our Process
Where We Work
We design remodels throughout metro Atlanta, with a concentration in intown neighborhoods where the homes have real architectural character and owners are investing to stay rather than move. Older housing stock takes more planning, and that's the work we're built for. If your home is outside the areas below, reach out anyway and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
