Life isn’t easy. We all figure this out quite early on as responsibilities and consequences become real in our lives. When we are young, we envision our lives a certain way and imagine the wonders of living out our dreams. As home builders, we are happy to be part of the moment where people get to live out a long-awaited moment: finding the perfect home. The moment when they find a home that fits their lifestyle and family and provides all the comforts they worked hard for. Padilla Homes has been building beautiful luxury homes for two decades now. We have seen the amazing transformation that has taken place in our industry. Technology, new and improved materials, better building methods and techniques, efficient construction practices have all made our job more exciting and dynamic.
Today’s home builders are embracing a new age of the building, as technology makes it easier to improve on everyday amenities and take them to an entirely new level. As homebuilders during this exciting time, we have embraced using technology to improve home performance in a variety of ways. Adding smart technology to your home is not just about making it high-tech, but it’s about including details that will enhance the way your home performs for you on the day-to-day.
The Meaning of Space — Open Layouts and Luxury For Optimal Performance
Today—though many might not be aware of it— most homes use famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s open floor concept. In this style of building spaces in the house interconnect instead of being separated by walls or long hallways. Pre World War II homes seemed to be designed with separations in between rooms. The kitchen was often an enclosed area separated by walls and connected to a living room through a doorway. Frank Lloyd Wright changed all of that with his idea of having our living spaces emulate nature as much as possible. His concept of outside inside architecture lives on today because most people love the idea of having their living spaces be less restraining and suggest wide open air, freedom, and inherent beauty. His idea was that architecture could learn from nature about how to design beautiful and functional spaces. The open layout concept seems to be, even decades later, the preferred way of building a home, whether you are talking about a 1,500 square foot home or a 3,000 plus. Since then, of course, architects have found other ways to bring nature into our homes and provide a living experience, rather than just a living space. Some of the ways in which to achieve this include:
- Open kitchen and dining area
- Large windows (sometimes floor to ceiling)
- Skylights
- Natural materials
The Meaning of Luxury — How Padilla Homes is Redefining the Term
There are a dozen home builders out there that slap on the label of luxury to their homes. Yet, luxury can be somewhat of an elastic term, as it is sometimes used to describe a home that looks elegant. For us, luxury is not just an aesthetic appeal, it is a functional appeal; for, a luxury build means that it is enhancing your daily living space not simply making it sparkle.
