Designing Homes That Reflect Your Life

Your home should reflect the way you live—not just today, but for years to come. At Richard Brookfield, LLC, we specialize in custom residential architecture for clients in Ormond Beach and across Florida, creating thoughtful, functional spaces tailored to your lifestyle, property, and long-term goals.



With over 45 years of hands-on experience in construction and design, Richard Brookfield offers a rare combination of technical skill, creative vision, and practical understanding of how homes are built. Whether you're planning a ground-up custom home, a major renovation, or a seamless addition, we guide you through every step—from early concept to final inspection.

A Personal and Practical Approach to Home Design

Richard’s approach to residential architecture is rooted in two key ideas: every client is different, and every site tells a story. That means your home should be as unique as you are.

We begin by learning how you live:

  • How do you use your kitchen and living spaces?
  • What do you value in privacy, flow, and light?
  • Are you planning for family growth, aging in place, or entertaining?


With these insights, we develop designs that balance aesthetics, function, and real-world construction constraints. Because Richard started his career in residential construction—digging footings and setting trusses—he brings a builder’s mindset to every plan, ensuring the design is both beautiful and buildable.
