If youre designing a home on a lot cut out of a mountainside with panoramic views of the Las Vegas Valley and the Strip below, where do you begin?

If youre Dan Coletti, the designer and builder of The New American Home 2024 in the luxury custom-home community of Ascaya in Henderson, Nev., it all starts in the kitchen.

I knew the view from the back of the lot would be great but also a little off-center to the right, Coletti says, so I put the kitchen in the left back corner of the floor plan to capture the best view.

The rest of the 7,800-square-foot, single-level floor planflowed fairly easily from there, he says. It includes an owners bedroom on the opposite end of the rear elevation that fully embraces the valley, and walls of glass at the homes entry and along the back of the house that showcase a through-view to the lights of Las Vegas and the mountain range beyond.

Location: Ascaya, Henderson, Nev. Designer/builder/interior designer: Sun West Custom Homes, Las Vegas Landscape architect: Vangson Consulting, Las Vegas Lot size: 0.7 acres Home size: 7,800 square feet (conditioned), including attached casita Beds: 4 + 1 (casita) Baths: 4.5 + 1 (casita)

The homes front elevation also came together more quickly than Coletti expected. I began playing with shapes and inverting them, he says, and it started looking pretty good pretty fast, which is unusual for me. We kept working at it and I think it came together very well.

The entry, set back from the garages and a casita that flank it, is further protected by a pair of prow-like roof shapes that add distinction and weight to the otherwise all-glass faade. That form is expressed throughout the house in several other places, most prominently over a glass-enclosed wine room that juts into the main living area, as an indoor-outdoor wet bar adjacent to the kitchen, in the shower enclosure in the owners bathroom, and in the staggered roof forms stepped along the rear elevation (photos, below).

Colettis Sun West Custom Homes has now delivered three New American Homes in Ascaya, each of them showcasing wood, stone, and glass to great effect.

I always try to make our houses feel like homes, not commercial spaces, Coletti says. Key to avoiding a cold, cavernous interior in an expansive home like this one is the use of those materials, which the designer says are timeless and beautiful, comfortable and familiar.

That materials choice is also evidence of Colettis penchant for creating architecture as art. Examples are in the kitchen ceilings intricate, hand-placed wood slats (photos, above) and the burnt-wood-look paneling of the owners bedroom (below).

The playful trio of floor-to-ceiling pivoting wood panels that enclose the back of the media room are another example (photo, below). The panels break up the mass of textured engineered stone in the great room, accentuating the stones beauty.

The extensive use of glass heightens the experience of transparency, with views into and along the back of the house, but it also serves to lighten the mood elsewhere. For example, instead of being concealed behind solid walls, the office (photo, above) is designed as a jewel box set off from the foyer. In a perfect world with an unlimited budget, Id never want to see a piece of Sheetrock, Coletti says.

Coletti is also drawn to fire and water, and the two elements routinely find their way into his designs. The New American Home 2024 is no exception. It features natural gas fireplaces inside and out, and open-flame fire features flank the pool and front walk.

But water as a design element in this years show home has been severely curtailed by a recent local ordinance that limits the surface area for single-family swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs to no more than 600 square feet per home. As a result, the pool and adjacent spa take up far less area than one might expect for a multi-million-dollar custom home, and other water elements in the front of the home and elsewhere, like those used in previous Sun West designs, are sadly missing.

The current water restrictions are brutal here, Coletti laments. But we didnt have a really big backyard for this house, so the size of the pool feels appropriate.

As many New American Homes as Sun West has produced (and will again in 2025), Coletti and his team respect the fact that all eyes are on them when thousands of home builders and designers tour the home during the 2024 International Builders Show looking for ideas they can apply in their own markets and price points.

But while the extensive use of natural materials, the detailed craftsmanship, and products such as a ceiling-mounted kitchen faucet and a 136-inch direct-view home video display (see above) are sure to wow them, Coletti thinks some of the key takeaways from this years New American Home are more subtle and perhaps more applicable across the residential spectrum.

Things are always changing, the products are always getting better, and the variety of products you can pull into a residential project is ever expanding, he says. This is evident not only throughout this years show home but alsoand perhaps more soin whats hidden behind the finishes.

Weve learned so much about energy efficiency since the 2020 house [the last New American Home completed by Sun West]. The products are so much better, as is our understanding of them and how they work together, he says. And thats something you can put in a 3,000-square-foot home or a 30,000-square-foot home and get the same impact.

The New American Homes floor plan is designed to capture dramatic views, deliver comfort and privacy, and facilitate casual entertaining inside and out. Surrounded by stone walls and a dramatic overhang, the main entry A is all glass, providing a direct sight line from the front walk through the great room to the view of the Las Vegas Valley beyond. An attached casita B is separated from the main house by a garage to create privacy for guests or to enable it to be used as a working office or studio. A subtle but well-appointed drop zone C is conveniently located to serve both the front entry and the family entry from the garage, while the adjacent wine room D juts out, making a statement. The placement of the kitchen E provides a direct view to the valley below, even through the telescoping windows of the indoor-outdoor wet bar. The owners bedroom F, equipped with floor-to-ceiling patio doors that pocket away, affords an unobstructed view and leads out to one of two fire pits G flanking the pool.

NAPERVILLE, IL An Illinois construction contractor with a history of ignoring federal safety regulations has again been found exposing workers to deadly fall hazards on a jobsite in Naperville.

Inspectors with the U.S. Department of Labors Occupational Safety and Health Administrationobserved employees of United Custom Homes LLC of Oswego, Illinois, working without protective equipment at heights up to 20 feet on a residential home under construction on Aug. 23, 2023.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that of 1,056 construction workers who suffered fatal on-the-job injuries in 2022, 423 of them died in falls.

United Custom Homes continues to ignore federal safety regulations and endanger workers lives by exposing them to deadly fall hazards, said OSHA Chicago South Area Director Jim Martineck in Tinley Park, Illinois. Every employer has a legal obligation to provide a safe workplace, train workers and provide necessary equipment to keep them safe on the job. We will continue holding this employer accountable for their willing disregard of the law.

OSHA cited United Custom Homes for one repeat, one willful, one serious and one other-than-serious violations and assessed $264,143 in proposed penalties.

Specifically, the violations cite the companys failure to provide fall protection equipment or train employees in fall hazards, improper use of ladders and failure to recertify workers in the operation of powered industrial vehicles every three years, as required. The agency cited the company for similar violations seven previous times since 2015. United Custom Home currently owes $238,572 in unpaid previous OSHA penalties.

OSHAsstop falls websiteoffers safety information and video presentationsin English and Spanish to teach workers about fall hazards and proper safety procedures.

The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHAs area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

A real estate agent recently asked a client whether they would consider a manufactured home.

The person said no, so the agent then asked the same question in a different way: Did they want a custom-built house that would be ready in four months?

Theyre like, That would be great! state Sen. Matt Pouliot, R-Augusta, who runs his own realty firm in his home city, said.

The story illustrates the stigma around manufactured homes, which are often known as modular or mobilehomes,depending on how or when they were constructed. Policymakers are trying to dispel the negative perception of homes built off-site to drive down housing costs, and are targeting rules in some cities and towns that disincentivize manufactured homes.

A modular home can cost at least 20 percent lessthan a similar stick-built house. They are built quickly, mostly assembled off-site in a factory over a few months, and can be customized to fit a familys needs. KBS Builders, a modular home manufacturing company based in South Paris, says it cuts standard project timelines by between 25 percent and 50 percent.

The main trade group for the industry, the Maine Manufactured Home Association, gave a presentation in 2019 that emphasized destigmatizingthese kinds of homes. Nationally, progressive groups like the Center for American Progresshave pitched them as an affordable way to increase housing stock with market-based arguments they share with conservatives.

Modular homes are not what they used to be, Pouliot said. Its not your great-grandmothers trailer from yesteryear. These are custom homes.

Maine lawmakers are acting on the subject this year. A bill from Rep. Cheryl Golek, D-Harpswell, would amend local zoning lawsto allow manufactured or mobile homes on any single-family lot across the state. Goleks measure treats both manufactured and mobile homes similarly, except for trailers built before 1976.

They are misperceived to be eye-sores, Golek said of manufactured homes in testimony last month.

The Legislatures housing panel endorsed the proposal in January despite opposition from the Maine Municipal Association for its encroachment into home rule. Most cities and towns do not restrict their use and the association mostly opposed the measure for stripping municipalities or their regulatory power, said Rebecca Graham, a lobbyist for the group.

In Waterville, single-wide mobile homes often are restricted to parksand areas away from the center of town. Other manufactured homes that do not have the appearance of a mobile home are allowed to be built on single-family lots in the city.

Mobile homes traditionally have been thought of as an affordable option, but they depreciate rapidly, said Rebecca Green, the chair of the Waterville City Council. So its not a form of wealth building in the way homeownership is in other contexts.

Green said Goleks bill paints with too broad a brush stroke. Though shed support more high-quality, modular home construction, she said mobile homes vary too greatly in their quality to be allowed on all single-family lots.

The implication is that stick-built is the standard, but lawmakers and advocates say thats an increasingly unaffordable bar to meet. Stick-built homes now take more than a year to build on average and cost around $300,000, testified Laura Mitchell, who leads the Maine Affordable Housing Coalition.

The time and cost of building a home in Maine has become out of reach for the majority of our workforce and our aging residents that want to downsize or live in more accessible housing, she said.

When municipalities craft zoning laws that restrict modular or manufactured homes from single-family lots, they intentionally or unintentionally push those who rely on the most inexpensive housing on the market to the margins of town. Pouliot called it segregation.

Since Maine is projected to need at least 76,000 more housing unitsto accommodate its existing and future residents by 2030, Pouliot said modular homes are a no-brainer.

[Theyre built] in a controlled environment with a lot of engineering and a lot of controls in place, Pouliot said. And I would argue sometimes, the quality is better when its done.

Colleyville trees were up for debate yet again Tuesday night. For the third time inside of a year, it was new residences from WillowTree Custom Homes vs. old-growth trees in a battle put before the Colleyville City Council

The city council debated and then voted on a revised proposal from a developer who wants to build estate homes on 14 acres located between Pool Road and Wilkes Drive. Its WillowTree Custom Homes versus nearby homeowners and tree preservationists, round three.

And in a four to three vote, the council denied the developers proposal without prejudice for what would be The Bluffs Colleyville. For almost a year, the 14-acre property has been at the center of a debate about whether it should be rezoned from agricultural to single-family residential. Tuesdays vote means the developer can return to the city council for further discussion at a future date.

The ongoing clash centers on a parcel situated between Pool Road and Wilkes Drive in this Northeast Tarrant County suburb. Colleyvilles remaining lots are scarce, making 14 acres look attractive to housing developers, while the plans for this site inspired a group of citizens to organize in opposition. The citizens oppose what they maintain will destroy an urban forest.

The latest vote on Dec. 19 denied the developers latest proposal, which focused on reducing the number of residential lots to nine and placing the primary entrance on Pool Road into the planned, gated development. Voting with the councils majority to oppose the latest revisions were Chuck Kelly, place 5; Brandi Elder, place 1; Scotty Richards, place 3; and Ben Graves, place 4. Voting in the minority were May Bobby Lindamood; Mayor Pro Tem Callie Rigney; and George Bond, place 2.

The council previously voted unanimously in February and June to deny the zoning change that would allow The Bluffs Colleyville to be built. Initially, the plan included 14 lots for luxury homes, and this last plan called for nine. The councils most recent split vote indicates changes were deemed acceptable to some council members.

Meanwhile, the community opponents remain in dissent.

The native, old-growth Eastern cross, Timbers Forest is divinely situated on a steep slope into the Bear Creek watershed, which is prone to flooding, Tim Waterworth messaged after the vote. Waterworth is a leader of a group organized to oppose the development. Save Colleyville Trees It should be conserved as public property into perpetuity as primarily a nature conservation area with limited public access trails. Based on the many conversations Ive had with citizens about this land and the development proposalThats what the people want and will support.

Wilson Creative Group| Special to Naples Daily News

Naples luxury homebuilder Diamond Custom Homes has announced the commencement of construction for a 13,242 total square foot estate home on the corner of Seabreeze Avenue and Gulf Shore Drive.

Situated on an oversized, southern exposure corner lot just 300 yards from Vanderbilt Beach, the three-story, six-bedroom, six full and two half-bath residence will feature design by Rich Guzman, Principal Residential Designer of R.G. Designs, interior design by Tina Margrander of Tina-Marie Interiors, custom cabinetry by EDGE Interiors, and landscape architecture by Christian Andrea of Architectural Land Design. The lot faces west, with non-beach frontage on Gulf Shore Drive, and includes a private boat dock with 13,000 lb. lift. Garage entries will be located off Seabreeze Ave. on the homes north side; the south side of the home is situated on a canal with Gulf access. The original residence, built in 1989, was razed in October 2020 to allow for the construction of a new custom estate designed to accommodate family and guests, as well as multiple outdoor decks and 90-degree sliding glass doors to maximize Gulf, beach and canal views and indoor/outdoor living.

The clients goals for this home were to create a perfect, family-friendly place to enjoy plentiful Gulf, beach and water views, indoor/outdoor living opportunities and southwest Floridas relaxed lifestyle, said Diamond Custom Homes President, Michael Diamond. This is an exciting project for our team, and we look forward to creating the ultimate beach pad for this client.

At completion, the home will offer 6,312 air-conditioned square feet. Bifurcated staircases will extend from the homes ground floor to the first floor, and also from the second to the third floors, accessible from the kitchen area elevator. Laundry rooms will be located on both the first and second living levels.

The homes ground floor will consist of a lower entry foyer, beach room, four-car garage, covered patio, and beach patio in 5,135 square feet.

Serving as the main floor of the residence, the first living level will feature 2,855 square feet of living area in a great room floor plan with a VIP guest suite with full bath and walk-in closet, powder room, laundry room and elevator foyer. The spacious kitchen will include an oversized center bar and pantry, a catering kitchen with pantry, and a separate dining room with bar and wine cooler. Off the dining room will be a large beach-view sitting area with views to the outdoor living area and beyond. Also off the dining room will be a large playroom with 90-degree, floor to ceiling windows on both walls which will lead to a 247-square-foot beach deck, offering west and northwest views overlooking to the Gulf of Mexico, as well as long views south and east down the canal. A 738-square-foot outdoor living area off the great room, on the homes southwest side overlooking the canal, will feature an elevated pool, spa and pool bath, as well as a full outdoor kitchen with oversized center bar and grill, and ample seating/conversation areas.

The second living level will include 3,457 air-conditioned square feet, including three VIP guest suites with walk-in closets, en-suite baths and guest deck. The top floor master suite will have private front and rear decks, as well as a sitting area and two walk-in closets. The spacious master bath will include two-story ceilings, and will feature dual sinks, separate makeup vanity, walk-in shower and freestanding tub. Just beyond the second level elevator foyer is a large loft, which will lead to a bunk bedroom with a large shared bath, walk-in closet, and two separate linen closets. The second level will feature a large flex or hangout room with 90-degree sliding glass doors accentuating the outdoor living area. A laundry room will be located just opposite the flex room.

The residence is scheduled for completion in November 2022.

CAPE CORAL

As more people move to Southwest Florida, more new homes are going up.

But with that, there is a spike in construction thefts.

Construction thefts have always happened but there is an increase when the sector is busy.

And construction is booming in Cape Coral. This year alone, Cape Coral has issued 4,200 home construction permits.

Issues with the supply chain are causing builds to take long, which means homes are sitting empty longer, making them a perfect target for thieves. Builders said theyre setting up cameras at construction sites and writing down serial numbers to help find anything that might be stolen.

Things are still backed up from last years shutdown. For example, windows take four to six months to arrive.

The sound of construction is plentiful in many northwest Cape Coral neighborhoods.

That is a good thing for Matthew Sinclair, owner of Sinclair Custom Homes.

But this year, there are challenges.

Everyone is extremely, extremely busy right now, Sinclair said. Extremely busy, not to mention theres a large shortage on materials, large shortage on labor.

A backed-up supply chain, fewer workers and a spike in new builds means homes are taking longer to build and criminals are taking advantage.

Theres a lot of people stealing stuff and I dont even know how they have the conscious to do it, Sinclair said.

In 2021, there have been 177 construction site thefts reported to the Cape Coral Police Department. Thats up from 139 through all of 2020.

If you close your eye or wink or look away for a minute, its gone, Sinclair said. Youve really got to be conscientious on where youre parking your stuff, how youre securing it. Ive had trailers stolen, Ive had equipment stolen.

Recently, the Cape Coral Construction Industry Association shared surveillance photos from a construction site where two people in a U-Haul were spotted helping themselves to items inside.

Building supply costs are through the roof right now so it makes them a desirable object, said Bill Johnson Jr. with the Cape Coral Construction Industry Association.

The price of plywood is soaring.

If youre getting it for free and somebodys selling it for 10 bucks a sheet less, theyre going to take it, Sinclair said. Its not serial numbered, its not marked.

Not only does stealing construction materials increase the bottom line for builders, but it also puts them at an even longer delay.

Now they have to reorder the material again and its already taken them forever to get it, Johnson said, adding that,Its unfortunate for those that are working hard just to try to give an end product to a homeowner thats looking to build their house and move to the city.

Construction companies say the public can help by being a good neighbor and reporting suspicious activity to police.

Material usually dont get picked up unless its getting picked up by the lumber yard. After hours, 5 oclock, no one is usually on the job site, Sinclair said.

Were not going to catch them all but if we can get some its a start in the right direction, Johnson added.
