History
Sater Design Collection was established in 1994. It was created by Dan F. Sater II, AIBD/CPBD/CGP, as an evolution from his award-winning custom home design business, The Sater Group, established in 1983. In an effort to combine custom quality designs with more affordable pre-drawn plans, Sater Design Collection has become one of the country's most recognized residential design firms specializing in luxury home designs. Most houses ranging in the over two million dollar range.

Sater Design Collection has been selling pre-drawn plans online since 1994. They are located in Bonita Springs, which is in Southwest Florida. In 1999, Dan Sater designed and built their current facility. Their online presence has allowed them to service customers from all over the country, as well as internationally. They have grown, along with the technology, and now offer plan customizations, a blog, and product reviews.

In 2003, Verandah Publishing was created, which is their own in-house publishing company. In 1998, we published our first book of home plans, “The Cottages”. It was a great success and has been followed up with 12 more books. In 2001, they published their first magazine, “Florida Floor Plans”. Their latest publication is “Dan Sater's Ultimate Mediterranean Home Plans” book, which is filled with photos and floor plans of the best Mediterranean plans Dan has created so far.

In addition to pre-drawn plans, Sater Design Collection also offers Customization Services.

 * European Luxury Home Plans
 * Amazon Description
 * European Luxury Home Plans presents a fresh portfolio of plans drawn from the ageless character of classical Old World architecture. The styles conceived here to be classic speak softly of an American heritage, inspired over time by four regions of influence-Italian, French, English and Spanish. Scale and proportion as they are iterated in ancient dialects translate evenly to the incomparable beauty found in this collection of homes.
 * At once rugged and refined, each of these houses displays an intimate connection with the land, forming powerful mergers between walls and what surround them. Clay-tile roofs, sun-baked stone and rough stucco are subdued by open, airy interiors and breathtaking views. Rambling, joie de vivre porches and sandals-only courtyards balance well-defined rooms and an air of formality.
 * Created by the Sater Design Collection, here are stunning designs that "Redefine Tradition". These homes offer flexible living environments that meet the needs of today's busy lifestyles, but reflect a European character with timeless appeal.
