Custom Built Artist's Retreat in St Charles County

After searching for a home that had an open concept floor plan, but a modest amount of square-footage that was ideal for their family. Our client is also a professional artist and had very specific needs for studio space that they could not find in the existing home market. Their decision to build was sealed when they found the right piece of land to build on.

Situated on a semi-private, wooded lot in Foristell, MO,  this St. Charles County custom home was designed and built to our client's specifications.

Here are a few highlights from this project:

  • Walk-out basement with a full art studio with two walls of windows for natural light and an overhead lighting design that allows our artist client to adjust as needed when working in different mediums.
  • The studio floor is made from a finished concrete that is easy to clean and maintain.
  • Primary bedroom with a quiet nook and built-in window seat for peaceful reading and writing.
  • En Suite bathroom with individual pedestals for plenty of space for getting ready together.
  • Large kitchen features with custom cabinetry
  • Open concept floor plan combines living, dining, and kitchen spaces on main level.
  • Large windows and windowed doors give the space an abundance of natural light without impacting the ambient temperature inside.
  • Mixed cladding on front of the home includes a mix of stone, brick, and stucco paneling.

Our clients were thrilled with the options that custom building gave them, and are happy to have moved into a home perfectly suited to their family's lifestyle and needs.

Built to meet our Hibbs Healthy Homes building standard, this home is measurably more energy-efficient, comfortable to live in, and more durable than a comparable conventionally built home.
