Building Timeless Homes: Balancing Trends with Longevity

SHARE ON

Creating a home that feels current yet resists becoming dated is a common challenge in custom home building. With over 40 years of experience, I’ve seen numerous trends come and go. My role is to help you distinguish between timeless design principles and fleeting fads.

To achieve a design that stands the test of time, I focus on investing in quality architecture and embracing classic proportions as the foundation of your home. These elements provide a durable structure and an appealing aesthetic that will endure for years. On the other hand, elements like finishes and fixtures, where trends are more likely to change, can be updated more easily. Incorporating your current preferences here allows your home to feel fresh and personalized, while still keeping major elements timeless.

When guiding clients, I emphasize making decisions that resonate with their style, envisioning a home they’ll still love in a decade or two. This approach ensures your home not only meets your immediate needs but also maintains its appeal and value over time.

Homes designed with both present enjoyment and future value in mind serve clients best. If you’re interested in building a home that blends current style with enduring design, call me at (210) 490-0069 to discuss how we can create something truly special for you.
