A Passionate, Easy-going, Reliable Designer
Founded in 2024
The original company name was Practikal Home Plans; An easy, logical, and affordable home design service, with a cheeky substitution of the letter 'K'.As the business matured, Kalvin decided to revise the name in 2025. The result was:
EMBER DESIGN
Thus this little operation was formed, built upon these core objectives:1. Design and draft the best custom homes that we possibly can. 2. Keep our home plans & design service as affordable as practicable.
The Right Guy for the Job
Consider your search over. Let's build your dream together.
Kalvin Koetting, Founder
Founder, Designer & Draftsman
Kalvin began a career in drafting & architectural design in 2017. Before founding Ember Design, he had worked for an esteemed architectural firm in Northern California, a structural engineering & design group in Idaho, and similar companies.
Residential design feels like Kalvin's calling in life. He's truly passionate--obsessed--with creating the best possible home plans in an innovative way. He is innately quiet-natured, but loves to talk about and share the excitement of building homes. Kalvin will genuinely care for your project, and he takes great satisfaction from a job well done.
He had been accepted to an accredited university to pursue a Master's of Architecture, but steered away from his pursuit of architectural licensure for the time being (after great deliberation). While initially forming this business, he spent three semesters as a professor at BYU-Idaho teaching Architectural Design, Architectural Graphics, CAD, and SketchUp.
He also has hands-on construction experience and is knowledgeable with various construction methods and MEP systems.

And end my use of the royal "We"
Hey, Kalvin here. In truth, Ember Design is just a one-man show at the moment. But it seems to be growing well!I may eventually need additional draftsmen and experienced designers to help me keep up with the workload. Feel free reach out to me at info@EmberDesign.homes to discuss internships or full-time positions.
