As someone deeply connected to the world’s diverse cultures, you probably desire a home that reflects the richness of your international experiences. There are fundamental ideas to living from other cultures that you want to bring into your own home, transforming it into a space that not only accommodates but celebrates the global citizen in you.
We specialize in designing custom modern homes that are tailored to the specific lifestyles of the people who will inhabit them. If there are aspects of life from other parts of the globe that are essential to your daily life, then your home should accommodate for those customs, traditions or daily rituals.
Here are a few home design amenities that can help turn a custom home into the perfect place for your global spirit.
Outdoor Kitchen: Perhaps you’ve spent time in Argentina, where the outdoor grill (or parrilla) is a central part of the cultural tradition, or maybe you’re from a Mediterranean country where an outdoor kitchen is a common feature to encourage communal outdoor dining. Either way, the addition of an outdoor kitchen can help create a space that’s ideal for hosting and connecting.
Shou Sugi Ban Siding: Known for its distinct charred finish, this traditional Japanese technique offers a unique, eye-catching look but also enhances the durability and weather resistance of wood siding. This choice in building material reflects a deep appreciation for artisan craftsmanship and environmental stewardship, and brings aspects of other cultures into your home’s design.
Planted Courtyard / Atrium: These central spaces, which are more commonly found in the most temperate climates around the world, offer a serene oasis that merges indoor and outdoor environments. The inclusion of a planted courtyard or atrium not only enriches the home's aesthetic with natural beauty but also creates a functional space for social gatherings and personal rejuvenation.
