Custom Homes New York

A home is generally considered a lability when its owner has to work for it or when the mortgage debt is greater than the equity value of the house. A house doesn't really become an asset until it starts working for its owner - which often takes years of interest-heavy payments. But by designing a new home with monetizable spaces that generate enough revenue for it to pay for itself, including expenses and profit, the house can be an instant asset. Let us maximize the asset potential of your custom home by focusing on the following critical items:

​

• Environmental factors: The home must be built in a beautiful place. If you haven't found the land yet, we can help with our network of realtors throughout the Hudson Valley. The home's footprint should be minimized to reduce excavation and allow the natural landscape to flow around the house. We aim to lift the living experience up off the forest floor when possible for better views instead of sprawling on the ground

• Conservation factors: Building dimensions and openings will be coordinated with standard building material sizes and modules to minimize waste and conserve material - which also means a quicker build. Materials and finishes will be chosen for their natural attributes. Heavily processed or synthetic materials are discouraged

• Circulation factors: The sequencing of spaces and circulation routes will be designed in response to post-covid-19 best practices where entrances and pathways are separated as much as possible. Connective flexibility between spaces is essential; all movement will aim to maximize fluidity. Secondary spaces and monetizable parts of the home will be accessed independently from the home's main entrance and circulation

• Architectural factors: The home must stand out significantly in its architecture to successfully compete in the field of other assets vying for attention. The form and function of our designs will stand out in the field of ubiquitous country homes to offer a premium architectural-environmental experience for a premium rate.

• Performance factors: Homes will be designed with with cast-in-place insulated concrete or wood-frame + rain screen construction for their very high insulation and air barrier values. Flat eco-friendly green roofs are preferred for herb & vegetable gardens away from forest creatures. Otherwise, highly insulated gabled metal roofs can be studied if vaulted interior ceilings are preferred. High performing triple glazed windows and doors will integrate with the building thermal & air barrier. And heat recovery ventilation systems will provide filtered fresh air to the interior.

• Energy factors: Alternate options to conserve natural resources will always be considered including geothermal for HVAC systems or solar harvesting for battery storage or electric car charging stations.
