I want to thank Werner Design not just for their amazing talent but their extensive knowledge of exactly how things are built. The architect on the project, Siol Studios, managed to see through the walls and provide us with a layout that set the stage for the transformation. Then there are my trusted subcontractors, Flow Masters Plumbing, Mulholland Electric, Paradigm Drywall, Greenflow HVAC, IK Design, Shannon Side Welding and DG Floor Coverings, who performed, as they always do, at the highest of levels. There were a few specialty contractors I got to know for unique elements of this project. SF Shutter did a great job as did Willem Racke Studios and Maidenstone

Edina MN Front Entrance: This project was performed not only to update the existing entrance pathways, correct settling and cracked driveways but also to create a unified "seating area" in the middle of a double home but for the homeowners to have a space to garden and entertain.

This was one of those special projects in which we were able to build not only a incredibly insulated and efficient home, but were also able to incorporate a bunch of custom woodworking, metal work, stone work and historical details into the project. We adhered to “Efficiency Vermont’s’ rigorous High Performance Home standards in the construction of this project. In addition, this was a Duplex and as a result required extra attention to special code requirements surrounding multi-family construction. We also tried to recreate the exterior details to match with the historical period of early Vermont.

This 5,400-square-foot custom home in Atlanta’s Morningside neighborhood combines refined transitional architecture with advanced high-performance construction. Built by Eco Custom Homes, the residence was designed to significantly reduce energy consumption while providing the comfort, craftsmanship, and amenities expected in a luxury Atlanta custom home. The home’s energy system includes a 20 kW solar array paired with 40 kWh of battery storage, providing substantial on-site renewable energy generation and backup power capability. The project combines energy efficiency, building science, and resilient home technology with extensive outdoor living and entertainment areas designed for Atlanta’s climate. The Morningside Net Zero Home demonstrates Eco Custom Homes’ approach to high-performance construction: creating architecturally distinctive homes that are not only beautiful, but more efficient, comfortable, resilient, and designed to perform for generations.

A major aspect of the project included an extensive kitchen remodel, as the previous kitchen was disconnected from the main living area. Our clients wanted a bright and cohesive space to enjoy with their family and friends. New contemporary style, oak cabinets complement the sleek, walnut upper cabinets and island. Teak wood slats found behind a section of floating upper cabinets elegantly hide the staircase leading to the first floor.

This Grandview development features a spacious 4-bedroom high-end home built over a 1-bed suite [accessible from the house] and an independent 2-bed/2-bath apartment. It was constructed from pre-fabricated Structual Insulated Panels. This, and other highly innovative construction technologies put the building in a class of its own regarding performance and sustainability. The structure has been seismically-upgraded, and materials have been selected to stand the test of time. The design is strikingly modern but respectful, and the layout is expectionally practical and efficient. The house is on a steep hill, providing views of the north-shore mountains from all floors. The large rooftop deck has panoramic views of the city. The open-plan living/dining room opens out onto a large south-facing deck.
