This build was one that we took on to discover if we could build a more cost friendly home, and still have some of the same elements as the majority of our other speculative homes. We discovered that although we came in at a lower price point. We had to remove some of the elements that we desire in our homes. We loved the interior layout of the home, but felt that the exterior curb appeal was not exactly as we would have liked. Philip Slowiak Photography

Madison Way floor plan that we built as a speculative home to sell to a potential buyer. We took the exterior curb appeal of a home, then had the design team look over the layout of the home to make adjustments to customize to the desired layout of the team. We then had our subcontracted architect draw the plans to our specifications. Our homes are subcontracted to area professionals who work with and in conjunction with MHI and our General Contractor. Our team of design professionals work together to make interior as well as exterior selections. This home was constructed in Ooltewah's Scarlet Ridge Community, and sold prior to completing the construction. Philip Slowiak Photography

This project was a speculation remodel from a ranch house to Spanish colonial.

Located in the highly sought-after Allwood neighborhood of Darien, this spec house is the fourth collaboration with a client who first began with a renovation of her own home. While architecturally it is a traditional home from the exterior, the interiors are more transitional in style. In order to compete in the speculative market, our client’s directive was clear – ‘differentiation the kitchen design from every other spec house’. So we incorporated painted cabinetry but highlighted with rift-cut white oak base cabinets. This contrast between these finishes influenced our decision to select a subtle white quartzite countertop to deliberately highlight the striking porcelain backsplash. The steel and glass partition frames the space – drawing the eye to the focal point of the kitchen, the custom stainless steel hood. Gold hardware adds a pop of flair to the space and warms the room. Walnut drawer inserts, stainless steel appliance garage, pull out trash drawers with compost bins and a stylish desk make this the Gold Standard of spec houses.

Photo by Mike Force. Designed by Kinney & Associates. Built by Waldrop Builders. Dusty Waldrop of Waldrop Builders engaged Kinney & Associates to design a semi-modern 4000-square foot speculative reside-nce that is in the Verano neighborhood of Barton Creek. The program included three bedrooms in the main house (one doubling as an office) each with their own bathrooms, a Living Room, and a Family Room adjacent the Kitchen, as well as Dining Rooms. The developer also wanted a separate Guest Quarters located adjacent an Outdoor Living area and the pool. One design feature of the residence was the custom-cut limestone facade comprised of large 24" x 12" precisely cut stones arranged in a running bond pattern. This gives the facade a very modern yet warm feel. The other exterior materials chosen for the house were wood and stucco, which complement the stone dramatically.

A fresh and inventive response to the McMansion, this new 4,000sf speculative development home has been meticulously designed and executed to deliver a tasteful and functional floor plan which reflects modern living.

This modern northwest contemporary house was a speculative venture that was one of two side by side homes. The project maximized the views by creating a side entry allowing full windows from all rooms. The stucco, wood and stone veneer exterior creates a modern northwest character. The open floor plans allow for flexible circulation and continuous views from room to room.
