Scope
Ground-up custom home: architectural coordination, build, and finish on an open prairie site.
Custom home case study
East Metro Prairie Custom Home
A new-construction custom home on an open East Metro prairie lot. The brief was simple: a house that reads substantial from the road and still feels warm when the temperature drops.
Best fit for
Owners building on open land who want the house to earn its place from every direction.
What it proves
A house with presence doesn't have to be a statement house. Scale and material do the work.
What we were going for
Open lots punish houses that can't hold their own. Nothing to hide behind, and every elevation is on display. The plan leans on simple geometry, grounded materials, and a wide roofline to anchor the house on the site.
Inside, the program runs toward generous living space: a full spa and wellness floor, an open kitchen with room to actually use the island, and bedrooms with enough separation that the house handles both family life and guests well.
Why the exterior works
Stone base, clean siding, a roof that stays in scale with the land. Nothing's trying too hard, and nothing's apologizing either.
Inside the house
A few rooms worth walking through.
Kitchen, spa floor, and primary bath.
White shaker uppers, espresso base cabinets, and a marble waterfall island scaled for real use, not for show.
