Our Custom Home Types

Split Entry Homes

Split entry homes, or split-level, are a unique architectural design that caters to families seeking a distinctive separation of living spaces. This layout features a welcoming entryway that sits between two levels: one half-flight up to the main living areas, including the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms; and another half-flight down to additional living spaces, which can include a family room, garage, or additional bedrooms. This design not only offers a clear distinction between public and private areas but also utilizes space efficiently on smaller plots.

Rambler Style Homes (Ranch)

Rambler homes, also known widely as Ranch homes, are celebrated for their single-level living, embodying the ultimate in accessibility and convenience. These homes are characterized by their sprawling layout that eliminates the need for stairs, making every part of the home easily accessible to everyone, from young families to seniors. The Rambler or Ranch style promotes a seamless flow between rooms, enhancing the sense of openness and connection throughout the home, and making them interchangeable terms in the world of architecture and home design.

Customization Opportunities & Features:

Open Floor Plans: Design an expansive open layout that combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas for a modern living experience.

Outdoor Living Spaces: Incorporate large patios or sunrooms that extend the living space outdoors, perfect for entertainment or relaxation.

Aging-in-Place Design: Integrate features like wider doorways, walk-in showers, and other accessible design elements that accommodate mobility needs.

Shouse/Badominion Living: Embrace the growing trend of Shouse (shop house) or Badominion designs, which combine the convenience of one-level living with ample connected garage or storage space. This innovative design is perfect for those looking to seamlessly blend their living space with their business needs, or to house recreational vehicles and toys, offering a practical yet stylish solution to modern living.

2 Story Homes

2 story homes are a classic choice for families seeking ample space and distinct separation between living and sleeping areas. This design traditionally features communal spaces like the living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor, with bedrooms and private spaces located on the second floor. This separation enhances privacy and organization, making it an ideal layout for larger families or those who entertain frequently.

Custom Features & Design Elements:

Master Suite Retreats: Create a luxurious master suite on the second floor with walk-in closets, en-suite bathrooms, and private balconies.

Flexible Living Spaces: Utilize the first floor for elegant entertaining spaces and the second floor for private, quiet bedrooms and workspaces.

Enhanced Architectural Details: Incorporate distinctive architectural elements such as vaulted ceilings, skylights, or bay windows to add character and natural light to your home.

This architectural style maximizes living space without requiring a large footprint, making it an ideal choice for many homeowners. Haven Homes & Design Co. specializes in designing split-level homes that are tailored to the needs and lifestyle of our clients, ensuring that each space is optimized for comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

EPS Buildings: The Next Level in Sustainable and Efficient Home Construction

At Haven Homes & Design Co., we continuously strive to innovate and provide our clients with the most advanced and sustainable construction options available. This dedication to excellence and sustainability leads us to incorporate Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) building technology into our portfolio. EPS buildings represent the pinnacle of energy efficiency, durability, and design flexibility, aligning perfectly with our mission to deliver homes that are not just residences but sanctuaries for the future.

What Makes EPS Buildings Stand Out:

EPS construction technology uses high-performance expanded polystyrene as a core material in building components such as walls, roofs, and floors. This material is renowned for its exceptional insulation properties, lightweight, and resilience, making it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking to reduce their environmental footprint while enhancing living comfort.

Benefits of Choosing EPS for Your Home:

Superior Energy Efficiency: EPS has outstanding thermal insulation properties that significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, ensuring a comfortable indoor climate year-round.

Design Versatility: The flexibility of EPS construction allows for virtually any design aesthetic, from modern minimalist to classic traditional, making each project truly customized.

Sustainable Living: EPS materials are recyclable and have a lower environmental impact during production and construction, supporting our commitment to eco-friendly building practices.

Durability and Strength: Despite its lightweight nature, EPS provides structural strength and resistance to moisture, mold, and insects, ensuring a long-lasting and healthy living environment.

Speed of Construction: EPS components can be prefabricated, streamlining the construction process, reducing waste on-site, and allowing homeowners to move into their dream homes faster.
