5 of the Most Inspiring Custom Home Designs
1) Spacious Bungalow
This spacious bungalow was built with a family and entertaining in mind. It has a craftsman feel to it with the exposed rafters and beams on the exterior, as well as beautiful beam detail and tongue-and-groove pine ceilings in the great room.
This custom home also features a real chef's kitchen with ample space for food preparation while entertaining.
Home designs with a family in mind can consist of well-outfitted mudrooms with individual custom cabinets to house all the outerwear. A geothermal furnace system generates heating and cooling for the house, including in-floor heating in the basement.
It's the perfect heating for a basement since it never leaves you with cold feet! As an added bonus, the waste product from the geothermal energy is used to heat hot water for domestic use, making this a very efficient system.
2) Craftsman Style
Perhaps you want to consider a craftsman style two-storey home that welcomes you with beautiful exposed rafters and beam work at the front entrance. Once inside, the two-storey foyer opens up to a stunning great room with more of the exposed beams and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.
3) Beach House
As mentioned above, L. Patten & Sons specializes in custom home designs around Collingwood and the Blue Mountains.
Life on Georgian Bay means glorious light, warm breezes, and carefree days in the sun. This home, with its fresh lines and expansive windows, makes the most of the best parts of beachfront living.
Open, airy and bright, the home welcomes you with a beautiful main gathering area. A sunroom off the kitchen makes the perfect place to read and relax, even on the chilly days.
Windows all around maximize the spectacular view of sand and water, offering the perfect antidote to the hectic pace of daily life.
4) Country Living
By packing up and moving out of the big city, you get to enjoy the three P’s Central Ontario has to offer: peace, pine trees, and playtime. A country home with a modern flair has it all. It has fabulous open family space, with a stunning kitchen and extensive sight-lines to the glorious outdoors.
This home design is perfect for families, as it includes both a separate area for the children to create and to play and an adult haven of peace and tranquility where parents retreat at the end of the day to recharge.
Main floor laundry, a mudroom with a dog wash, and two unique work spaces complete this spectacular home.
5) Modern Farmhouse
This one is set apart from other custom home designs by its many charming characteristics, such as multiple high-peaked dormers, wood soffit and fascia and uniquely patterned wood siding.
The house comes together with a tone-on-tone colour scheme that results in a striking facade, and the great room has a vaulted ceiling that maximizes the impact of the dormers with tongue-and-groove pine.
This particular custom home is built on a slab foundation that made it a perfect candidate for in-floor heating. That Canadian-friendly feature is covered by beautifully hand finished cherry hardwood that is distressed just enough to fit with the style of the house.
