from design

open living area with a cornered gas fireplace set into a ceramic and walnut surround. On the right is the beautifully appointed custom kitchen that faces the front of the home. Off the kitchen is the “service hallway” leading to the drop zone, laundry and garage entrance. Between the kitchen and living room is a doorway to the master bedroom suite.

Throughout the home, light gray walls are complemented by white trim and doors and contrasted with beautiful rustic walnut cabinets and shelving. Flooring is a high-quality laminate in a rustic grayed wood tone, adding warmth with easy maintenance for the high-traffic areas, while the bedrooms all have a soft gray carpet. The countertops are finished in quartz, with the backsplashes in clear glass.

The architectural touches can be seen in all the rooms, from the placement of the windows which maximize the views, to thoughtful details homeowners will find delightful. The kitchen has a large center island topped with a beautiful quartz in an off-set rectangle to maximize the space available: narrower on one end than the other. Seating around accommodates up to eight, or provides great prep or buffet space. An apron-front sink adds a touch of vintage charm. Rather than a walk-in pantry, there is a beautiful pantry wall of walnut cabinets, offering easy storage and beauty at the same time.

Innovative and thoughtful design is also apparent in the master bedroom, from the placement of the walk-in closet to the views of the trees from the large southern corner windows. Downstairs, the garden level windows provide natural light and a great view. A built-in bar lines one wall of the family room, while the bonus room on the side is perfect for a home office or workout space.

Design Concepts

From the new Parade of Homes model in West Fargo to previous homes such as the Villas at Osgood, the creative custom designs from Building Concepts offers homeowners a fresh and innovative perspective. Their project management software includes every step of the homebuilding adventure from design selections to budgets, and is useful throughout the construction process. The owner knows what their home will look like before it is built, using the owners’ selected colors, textures and finishes. “It’s much easier to make changes in the planning phase,” Kim says. “We work with the homeowner and show them all their selections, and then we build, once we have their approval.”

Listening to the clients, incorporating their ideas, researching the details to create a home that meets their dreams, and building a home that will stand the test of time: those are the goals that Alan and Kim strive for every day. “From design through construction, we are a ‘hands-on’ team,” she says, “working to satisfy each and every customer each and every day.”
