Modern Home with a view

All of the homes we design are custom. That is more than just a new house, it is a design that is just right for our clients. We work to understand their patterns for living, how they want to live in the future, and how they currently live. This takes into account who cooks, sleeps late, host friends, reads, swims, plays, watches television, works from home, and more. We take time to hear the life you want to be able to live and design a home that will facilitate that lifestyle.

The style of the home is an important piece of the design process. What you like in colors, spatial configurations, ceiling heights, and aesthetics are all part of the conversation for design. However, the layout and function are the more important parts of a custom home. It is what sets your home apart from new homes. It is the process of creating a space for living the life you have dreamed of living. When we work through the process, the steps it takes to create a custom home, I know it is right when we are done drawing. The clients know once they move in and experience life in a home designed specific for them. That is why I love doing residential design. That is why I put so much of my emotion into our custom home designs.

This beautiful modern home is a great example of why design matters. Built by Herr and Company, this home is healthy, durable, energy-efficient, and timeless. It is not just because of the quality infused into the design and construction, but because design matters and we took the time to get it right on paper before construction ever started. This is why thoughtful design is so important – you get it right on paper before construction ever starts.

A special thanks to Elite Insulation, AAble Plumbing, and Excel HVAC for making sure this home is comfortable and energy-efficient! Having the systems right is just as important as getting the aesthetics right.

At the front porch we wanted it to have clean lines, so we recessed the beam into the structure. This keeps a modern aesthetic at the entry.

When doing modern aesthetic, the attention to craftsmanship is highlighted because of the minimal trim details. I was thrilled with the execution of our design from Herr and Company.

The master bedroom suite will provide luxury accommodations right at home.

Custom design can only be achieved through thoughtful design. This is a much different solution from just a new house. The payoff is in the finished product – no wasted space, functionality infused into every square foot, and value added to the overall project.
