Comprehensive Custom Home Design & Floor Plan Solutions Across East Tennessee
At Olson Custom Homes, designing your dream home is more than just choosing a layout — it’s about capturing your vision, your lifestyle, and the unique character of your land. With over 23 years of experience designing custom homes across East Tennessee, we’ve helped hundreds of families turn blank lots into homes that feel personal, practical, and beautifully livable.
Our design process begins with you. Whether you’re starting from scratch or modifying one of our existing floor plans, our in-house design team works one-on-one with you to understand your needs, goals, and preferences — from architectural style and square footage to natural light, views, and flow.
We specialize in home designs that work with East Tennessee’s diverse terrain, seasonal weather, and regional codes — from narrow mountain lots in Gatlinburg to wide-open farmland in Greene County. Every design we create is tailored to your land’s shape, orientation, and potential.
Olson Custom Homes offers complete, in-house design services so you don’t have to manage multiple vendors. From the first sketch to your final selections, we guide you through each phase of the process with clarity, creativity, and care.

Your land plays a big role in how your home functions. We evaluate slope, views, sun exposure, and access to design a home that works with your property — not against it.

Cabinetry & Finish Integration
Because we also build our own cabinetry in-house, we coordinate floor plans and finish selections with total precision — ensuring a cohesive design from layout to final detail.
