​Three areas of focus when smart planning for the future while building your custom home in Colorado.

There are three lenses to look through when planning your custom home in Denver: For the Homeowner, for the Home, and for the Environment.

For the Homeowner

If this is your forever home in Colorado, we love starting with the lifestyle you lead first. Many times, the customer may say this is going to be my forever home and we will be aging in place or they may tell us this is their transitional home to larger ambitions 3-5 years out. In either case, we look at what the needs are and plan accordingly while calling out some ideas that they may not have thought of.

For the Home

Does the home need an elevator for the aging homeowners or an additional master suite for live-in parents? Should we consider adding a bathroom adjacent to the prayer/meditation room so that when a young couple plans to resale, that room can be called a bedroom to increase the value of the home? What about adaptability for future needs like electric vehicles and solar systems? These are a couple of thoughts we like to call out as examples while planning a custom home in Denver, Colorado.

The Environment

Being mindful of the future and the impact we have on our environment is a big area of focus as we adapt and implement systems that involve GEO Thermal solutions as an example for your heating and cooling.

One solution that we love educating homeowners about is centralized low-voltage lighting. Reduce your energy use in a 6,000sqft home to less than 20amps of power for the lighting of your home! We are talking about a 60+ year industry getting completely changed, similar to what Tesla has done for the automotive industry.

When building a custom home in Denver…

There are many decisions to make during the process and Thomas Sattler Homes makes that journey a breeze. Planning in advance and starting conversations early is always key to a successful build. Whether it’s motorized shades, centralized lighting, or hiding your technology in clever design-focused ways, planning ahead will keep your build timeline on track.

Imagine artwork that easily doubles as music or hiding an entire room like your speakeasy!

The Environment

Being mindful of the future and the impact we have on our environment is a big area of focus as we adapt and implement systems that involve GEO Thermal solutions as an example for your heating and cooling.

We are talking about a 60+ year industry getting completely changed, similar to what Tesla has done for the automotive industry.

Not only do you have the opportunity to significantly reduce your home’s energy use but you also gain the option of removing the 5-gang switch banks throughout your home! These standard switch banks are commonly known as wall-acne and can easily take away from the design and aesthetics of any room.

However, by centralizing your lighting, you can now implement designer keypads to control your lights, motorized shades, music, and entire scenes that set the room’s atmosphere all while tying together elements like glass, leather, and metals.
