An in-house design-build team means your architect, designer, and builder work as a single unit — sharing the same mission and the same commitment to your vision.
At Affinity Homes LLC, Clark County’s multi-year Parade of Homes award-winning luxury home builder serving Camas, WA, and Southwest Washington, this is the only way we build. With over 30 years of combined experience and more than 100 true custom homes completed across the region, we know that a home that truly reflects your life begins with one cohesive team guiding every decision from the first sketch to the final walk-through.
Building a true custom luxury home is one of life’s most significant milestones — for your family, for your future, and for the art of living well. The journey should be as beautiful as the destination. At Affinity Homes LLC, real luxury is not found only in the finishes you select. It is found in the peace of mind that comes from having every detail of your vision guided by a unified team that has spent over 30 years building true custom homes across Clark County, Washington.
In a traditional building model, you hire an architect to design your home and a builder to construct it. These two may not always share the same vision, and important details can sometimes be lost between what is designed and what ultimately gets built.
At Affinity Homes LLC, the process is fundamentally different. Owner John Colgate begins every home design from your vision — creating the floor plan, exterior design, and spatial flow that define how your family will move through and experience the home. This is not a template or a modified stock plan. It is a design drawn from scratch around your lifestyle, your home site, and your aspirations.
From there, Affinity works with trusted architectural and structural engineering partners to translate that vision into permitted, buildable plans. Because John is both the originator of the design and the builder who executes it, he remains the consistent thread throughout — from the first sketch to the final walk-through. When the architectural firm draws the plans, and the engineering firm certifies the structure, they are working from what you and the Affinity team have created together, not generating their own interpretation.
Many building experiences may lack this continuity. At Affinity, your vision is never handed off, reinterpreted, or compromised as design becomes construction. That is what design-build truly means.
True custom luxury is built in two layers — and both must be exceptional.
The first is the home itself. Before a single wall is framed, the Affinity team designs the floor plan, the exterior, and the spatial flow from a blank canvas. We consider how you move through the space, how rooms connect to one another, how the home sits on its site, and how the exterior reflects both the landscape and the life being built inside it. This conceptual foundation is then developed into permitted, buildable plans through Affinity’s trusted architectural and structural engineering partners, ensuring that your vision is carried through to final construction.
The second layer is the world you inhabit. Design Coordinator Kaylin Harris curates your interior vision. From the start of your project, she guides you through the sensory world of selections — materials, finishes, fixtures, and spatial details that define how your home feels beneath your fingertips, in the light, and in the quiet satisfaction of daily living done beautifully.
What makes this process genuinely different is that John and Kaylin are in constant conversation throughout. Because the home and interior design originate from the same team, your home is built to receive your interior choices — not accommodate them after the fact. When Kaylin envisions a hand-plastered accent wall, the space has already been designed to welcome it. When a client dreams of an 800-bottle wine room behind a hidden door, the floor plan and interior execution are conceived together from day one.
This is what creates a home that feels like a natural extension of who you are. Every layer was designed as one complete, cohesive vision.
We believe that true luxury is as much about the absence of stress as it is the presence of beauty.
When you build with Affinity Homes LLC, you are partnering with a team that has spent over 30 years refining every phase of the true custom homebuilding process in Clark County, WA. We take on the complexity of construction so you can remain in the dreaming phase longer.
Efficiency — When designers and builders collaborate continuously, challenges are anticipated before they arise. This greatly reduces the gap between what is drawn and what is built, keeping your project on schedule and within its intended budget — a consistency that has contributed to our multi-year Parade of Homes award-winning record in Southwest Washington.
Proven Expertise — Affinity Homes LLC is a BBB Accredited Business and licensed Washington State contractor. We have completed over 100 true custom homes across Camas, Ridgefield, Felida, and Vancouver, WA. You are not hiring a contractor. You are partnering with a team that carries a verified, authoritative record of excellence.
Personalized Attention — We accept a limited number of projects each year to ensure that every home receives the focused, undivided attention it deserves. This is not a business constraint. It is a promise to every client we build for.
“My wife and I have referred many clients and friends to have Affinity Homes build them their dream home. I have also been involved with the process along the way, and I was blown away by the customer service, quality of employees, and the process they use. Seeing the attention to detail is magical. Thank you to a stand-up builder that we can all trust to make our dreams come true!

A true custom home is a sanctuary for the life you actually live.
Whether you need a dedicated music suite engineered for both performance and intimate gatherings, a craft room designed for individual and group creativity, or a covered outdoor kitchen built for the art of entertaining, our in-house team knows how to integrate these specialized spaces into the home’s overall architecture without compromise.
We do not move through building phases. We move through a life-changing experience with you. By the time we hand you the keys to your true custom home in Southwest Washington, every corner should feel as though it could not have been designed for anyone else.
You can see this philosophy in action in The Hamlin — a 4,486 sq. ft. Pacific Northwest Gable-style home built with paint-washed brick reclaimed from an old library, featuring a custom music suite, a porte-cochere framing a sand-finished courtyard, accordion panoramic doors opening to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a Dolby Atmos media room. The Hamlin was recognized at the 2019 Clark County Parade of Homes with People’s Choice honors for Most Livable Floor Plan, Best Master Suite, Best Kitchen, Best Interior Design, and Best Architecture.
Your home should be a reflection of your most cherished values — not a compromise with a builder’s catalog.
If you find yourself reaching for a vision that exists beyond the standard menu of options, it may be time to move beyond semi-custom. Affinity Homes LLC invites you to experience a different kind of building process, one rooted in connection, transparency, and uncompromising quality.
Let’s begin the conversation.
A traditional builder works from plans prepared by a separate architect, which can sometimes lead to miscommunication, budget surprises, and design compromises during construction. A design-build firm like Affinity Homes LLC manages both disciplines under one roof. Your designer and builder are in constant communication from day one, resulting in a true custom home where every structural and design decision supports a single, unified vision.
A true custom home is designed entirely from scratch — there are no preset floor plans and no builder-grade selections dressed up as premium finishes. At Affinity Homes LLC, every home we build in Clark County, WA, begins with a blank canvas. The floor plan, material palette, spatial flow, and every architectural detail are created specifically for you and your site.
The process begins with a private consultation to understand your lifestyle, vision, and site. From there, a cohesive design direction takes shape. Because design and construction share the same team, every selection is made in the context of architectural feasibility, greatly reducing the gap between what is drawn and what is built.
