Founded in 1985, our firm has grown from a small construction practice into a trusted leader in residential and light commercial design. What began as Chesapeake Construction Limited evolved into a full-service design and drafting consultancy—rooted in craftsmanship, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of how people live and work in the spaces they build.
Since 1988 we have offered comprehensive architectural design and drafting services that guide clients from concept to completion. Our team of skilled Architectural Technologists collaborates closely with homeowners, builders, and business owners to translate vision into reality—balancing creativity, functionality, and long-term value.
We specialize in custom residential design, including single-family homes in both urban and rural settings, and have expanded our portfolio to include light commercial projects and mixed-use developments. Our process emphasizes clear communication, education, and collaboration—helping clients make confident, informed decisions at every stage.
Using advanced 3D modeling technology, we provide visual clarity and real-time design feedback, ensuring that every project reflects the unique character and aspirations of our clients. Whether designing a timeless home, reimagining an existing space, or creating a vibrant commercial environment, we remain dedicated to delivering enduring design that stands the test of time.
At Peake, our team of Architectural Technologists brings together technical precision and creative vision to deliver designs that stand the test of time.
We approach every project with collaboration, clarity, and care—transforming ideas into thoughtful, well-planned spaces that reflect how you live, work, and thrive.

We were a crazed family, going in 40 different directions on any given day, and didn’t have the time or energy to know exactly what we needed in the house we wanted to build. Until working with Ken, we had no idea how important good design truly was.
