We are proud to be building this very nice custom retirement home in Edgemont Meadows. This subdivision is the newest development in Edgemont located just outside of Durango. For this custom home we worked with the owners to select and hire an architect for the design. RMBA Architects did a great job on the design. Now we get to build it. We really do enjoy this design build process. It’s fun to turn the owners vision into reality!
I just love the creative design build process. This custom home is another great example. When we can work together with the client and the architect from the very beginning it makes for a fun project. Watching and guiding the design process brings out our creativity. Of course it takes a team effort to end up with the design our client wants within their budget. It really is a fun process. Now we get to build it!
At Will Construction we believe one of the most important qualities of a builder is good communication. Sometimes it takes many years to prepare for and plan the design and construction of a new custom home. This was the case with our latest build. We first talked to this couple from Las Vegas, NV in 2010. We got along well from the beginning and have been planning their new home every since. As it turns out 2018 is the year to build! We worked together to design a very nice 2 story home with a walkout basement and large garage. The home is sited on the lot to maximize the mountain views and the passive solar exposure to the South. The home will be almost 2900 Square Ft. and will have 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a wine cellar. The home is designed with the master on the main floor along with a large great room and kitchen. This open concept makes the house work very well for the family. The location just North and East of Durango is close enough to town to be convenient and yet provides the mountain setting the owners fell in love with.
This fine example of a Durango executive custom home is located in the Animas Valley North of Durango. With 4379 Square Ft. this is a large custom home featuring 5 bedrooms, 4-1/2 baths and office, game room and more. Knotty Alder doors, trim and cabinets, Custom audio throughout, Walnut plank floors and a walk in pantry. Outside we used stucco, stone and wood to give the house a mountain contemporary look. Completed in 2008 this was a fun project and is one we are proud of!
This home was designed and built in the Animas Valley north of Durango to serve as our client’s beautiful retirement home. Every detail was thought about and planned so it would meet our client’s needs and dreams. Cooking and entertaining are important so the kitchen includes two large islands to provide plenty of working space. The great room concept allows the kitchen, living area and dining area to all be open and connected. The wall mounted flat screen tv is mounted next to the fireplace with built in cabinets nearby. Radiant in-floor heat keeps the house at a constant comfortable temperature. Tile and wood flooring helps to radiate heat in the winter and keeps bare feet happy. Stucco and stone makes up much of the exterior so the outside should be mostly maintenance free. We even included a small overhead garage door on the side for the yard tools.
When the May family decided to build their dream home they knew they wanted quality old world craftsmanship and a highly insulated highly efficient home. They decided that a true Timber Frame home was what they wanted. Wind River Timber Frames would partner with Will Construction to create the home. The frame is hand crafted using Oak beams and traditional joinery. All timber connections are made using mortise and tenon joints (no metal plates and no nails). The walls and roof are then filled in using Structural Insulated Panels or SIPS. These panels provide an R-25 wall and an R-40 Roof but just as important create a very tight building envelope. The finished product is beautiful to look at and performs more efficiently than most conventional homes. The home includes custom features such as oak flooring, Knotty Cherry cabinets, Granite counters, Pine doors & trim, as well as a Gorgeous wood burning fireplace with stone hearth and surround. The home is heated by a high efficiency gas boiler and radiant in floor heat, utilizes high quality low e wood/clad windows and the kitchen includes GE Café energy star rated appliances. The stone, stucco and wood exterior blends flawlessly with the large covered deck that faces amazing La Plata mountain views. The home is 3977 Square ft. with 3 bedrooms and 3-1/2 baths. This home won First Place Judges selection overall, and also best kitchen in the 2013 Durango Parade of homes
