Licensing

License the design, not a drawing.

A stock plan sells you a drawing set and stops. A Sunlit license grants the fully resolved design intent system behind the home — every material, every light, every proportion, already decided.

One home or an entire portfolio — the license scales to how you build. The design is the same discipline either way.

Three ways to license
Single-Build License — The Linden
Builder Partnership — The Chatham
Unlimited License — The Stonecroft

Every license includes

A resolved material hierarchy

Cabinetry, stone, metal, and finish specified as one controlled system — not a menu of options.

Layered lighting as infrastructure

Light planned into the architecture, ambient through task through accent, not added at the end.

Gate-certified renders

Photoreal renders certified against the plan, so what you're licensing is what gets built.

Municipal zoning summary

A lot-specific zoning summary (ZS-01) included with every license, at no additional cost.

The design intent documentation

The governing standards for the home — the reasoning a builder can hold to on site.

A single point of view

Every decision answers to one discipline: luxury through restraint, resolved before you commit.

Why it isn't priced like a blueprint

A blueprint ends at dimensions. A license resolves the home.

A stock plan

Sells framing, foundation, and elevations. What the house is made of, and how it feels, is left to whoever builds it.

A Sunlit license

Delivers the fully resolved design — materials, light, and proportion decided with intent — so the finished home matches the one you were shown.

See it before you license it.

Estimate your build, or request a Design Intent Preview — a curated first look, fully credited toward your license.

Figures shown are entry-tier starting points. Cottage Series is licensed per home at roughly 1–1.5% of build value; Tidewater and Estate series use fixed tiers that vary by home size. A Sunlit license grants design intent for construction of the licensed home and is not a transfer of architectural or engineering services. Sunlit Studio is an independent design licensing studio.
