Custom Build

This project was our second build in the Malvern Walk community. The foundation was constructed using steel reinforced block and structural steel beams. At just under 4,200 square feet the house includes 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a private guest apartment built into the upper level featuring bed, bath, kitchenette, deck, and private access via an exterior staircase. The main level contains an owner's suite, an open living and dining space, powder room, screened-in porch, and laundry nook off of the garage. The lower level provides plenty of studio space, storage, and an additional guest room and bath with a covered porch and access to the backyard.

Design Features

• Monopoly Framing | Monopoly framing eliminates overhangs, reducing the thermal bridging of the build. This creates a significantly more air-tight, and energy-efficient home. This building techinque gets its nickname from the traitional monopoly playing pieces, and this specific house design resembles the clean lines of a paper origami house. The house was awarded a HERS rating of 54 which qualifies the build as Net Zero Ready - Thanks to the attention to detail put in by the Steel Root Builders crew and our trusted trade partners.

Custom Details

• Custom Wood Pieces | The kitchen features custom floating tulip popular shelves sourced from a local lumber mill in Swannanoa. We used hidden bolts to fasten the shelves into blocking behind the drywall. The bolts provide a sleek installation, but enough support to be practical. Both upstairs bathrooms feature floating walnut vanities that were custom made by our crew with local slabs. The floating vanities allow the home owners to maximize space while adding a unique personalized touch.
