Having built homes for nearly half a century, I’ve witnessed many design trends rise and fall. My role as a builder isn’t just to incorporate what’s “in” right now, but to ensure your home feels current yet has lasting appeal. Creating a home that won’t feel dated in five years is an art, one that comes from understanding the balance between trend and timelessness.

Over the years, I’ve learned the importance of investing in quality architecture and classic proportions. These are the foundations of a home that endures. Where we can get creative and contemporary is in the details—finishes, fixtures, and even furnishings. These elements should reflect current tastes but can also be updated over time as your style evolves or trends change.

When guiding clients, I emphasize choosing foundational elements that are timeless. For instance, opting for neutral palettes with subtle accent pieces allows for an easy style refresh down the road. This approach ensures that you’ll love your home both today and in the decades to come.

Designing a home with both immediate enjoyment and future resale value in mind serves you best.
