Behind the Build: Unique Architectural Features We Love Adding to Custom Homes
Creating a custom home is about bringing together function, personality, and a deep connection to the surroundings. At Best Coast Constructions, we’re passionate about integrating unique architectural features that make each home feel truly special. Here are some of our favourites:
1. Expansive Windows to Embrace Natural Light and Views
Large windows bring the outdoors in, filling spaces with natural light and framing the South Coast’s beautiful landscape. This not only enhances aesthetics but can also reduce energy costs.
2. Open-Plan Living for Flow and Flexibility
Open-plan layouts seamlessly connect kitchens, dining, and living areas, creating a central space for family and guests. This flexible design also adapts to changing needs, making it ideal for modern living.
3. Outdoor Rooms That Extend Living Spaces
With the South Coast’s climate, outdoor rooms like covered patios or outdoor lounges are essential. Features like sliding glass doors and weather-resistant materials make it easy to move between indoor and outdoor spaces.
4. Sustainable and Natural Materials
Using materials like timber and stone brings warmth and reduces environmental impact. These natural elements age beautifully, adding a timeless quality to each home.
5. Statement Ceilings for Added Character
From vaulted designs to exposed beams, statement ceilings bring depth and interest to a room. They make spaces feel larger or cosier, depending on the design, and add personality.
6. Built-In Storage for a Clutter-Free Home
Custom storage solutions like built-in cabinets and shelving keep clutter hidden and make each room more functional. Thoughtful storage maximises space without compromising style.
7. Passive House Principles for Efficiency
As a Passive House-certified builder, we incorporate features like airtight construction and insulation to improve comfort and lower energy costs, making each home more sustainable.
