Arts and Crafts Bungalow
|
 | The first discussion about this new home included the homeowners bringing in multiple floor plans and pointing out details from each that they found interesting. They didn’t necessarily have the exact floor plan in mind but they did know exactly what they liked. After a number of preliminary ideas were discussed, the final floor plan was developed which lead to a house that they love and that costs, on average, $110 per month to operate. There were a lot of sustainable (green) options included that cost a little more on the front end but made the long term maintenance costs very low. The home includes 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a great room on the main level and a very large family room/bar area in the basement. The homeowners finished a home theater in the basement that not only keeps them entertained but keeps the Kaufman gang coming back too. |

Hickory Hills Spec Home
|
 | This home started as an idea growing in Devans head which he eventually turned into the reality of a spec home. It is a contemporary prairie style with significant design contributions from the Not So Big House philosophy which translates to less house size and more detail. The concept teaches that rooms should flow together easily but still be defined as separate spaces; the rooms should be able to be used for more than one purpose and have more detail and personality than size. Some of the finish details include bamboo floors, different wood varieties for trim and custom built-ins, concrete countertops, whole house A/V wiring and much more. The basement of this home was originally left unfinished but the homeowner had us come back to finish that space as well (pictures included in another picture gallery) |

Homeowner Designed New Home
|
 | These homeowners had a very specific design in mind and knew exactly what they wanted for finishes - the lot was completely wooded and taking advantage of that detail was foremost in their minds. This home includes many sustainable (green) options as many Kaufman built homes do. Some of those options include ICF foundation, geothermal heating/cooling system, foam insulation and more. Every floor in this home is heated whether carpet, wood or tile and there is a lot of custom trim details throughout. |
