On average, it takes 114 days to sell a home in Florida.



This can be based on a variety of factors such as the age of the home, location, size, design, and more. Luxury homes can take much longer to sell.


Have you ever wondered what the luxury process is like? What makes a home luxurious? What role does design play in the construction of the home?


Keep reading to learn more about luxury design when constructing a luxury home:


Maximizing Technology

An important factor in luxury homes is using current technology within the home to enhance the experience of living there. This could vary from blackout window shades on a timer or using smart heating and cooling devices to control the temperature within the home. 


The home is designed with the tech in mind instead of it being an upgrade in the future. Part of the construction process can be centered around the tech within the home and installing it during the build for a seamless experience. 


The Amenities Are Not Overlooked

When constructing a luxury home, careful thought is put into the amenities of the home. Does there need to be an outdoor kitchen area in the backyard for grilling? How will the layout compliment entertaining guests in the home?


The benefit of working with our team is that we are a cohesive unit that is involved in the designing, planning, and building of the project for an efficient, cost-effective approach to the luxury build.


This is important because what you express is important to you in the design of the home can be carried out in the construction of the home without the worry of miscommunication because the same team is working together on the separate components. For example, our design team can share luxury modern kitchen designs that we have worked on in the past and you can see how the finished product will turn out. 


Customization Is Important

Our goal is to create better spaces for living that are customized to your personal style.


One component that makes luxury homes different than the average home is that it is built for you. Yes, luxury homes can be purchased from another person and remodeled as well but for a new build, you get to choose what it looks like.


Not only will we turn your dream design into your dream home, but we also commit to hiring, nurturing, and working with the best teams in each part of the construction process. 


Privacy Matters

When you invest a large amount of money into building and customizing a luxury home, privacy is important. The home can become a target for break-ins and unwanted visitors due to its size and appearance. It is important to brainstorm the privacy measures that you want prior to the build. 


If the home is not located in a gated or security-controlled community, you will want to look into your own security measures. A privacy fence can be helpful for allowing you and your family to spend time outside without worrying about neighbors looking in. 


Adding a keypad to access the home or a motion detection system outside can help keep your home secure from unwanted visitors. Discussing your concerns and security ideas with your builder can help them plan the right electrical hookups and measures that need to be taken for proper security.


Luxury Design Is a Focus

Some homes in communities will have 3-4 models that you can choose from and are mass-produced to fill up the neighborhood with new real estate. The construction on these homes is fast and the homes end up looking similar for both the interior and exterior. 


This is not the case when it comes to the luxury construction process. Design is at the forefront of the process with the specifics being left up to you. It is possible that the home that you build could be the only one of its kind. 


The materials the home is built with are a focus of the design process. The quality of the hardwood floors or marble countertops is carefully thought through and can add enormous value to the home.


How to Find a Luxury Design Firm in South Florida

If you have decided to start the construction process on a new build or remodel a previous build, you will need to find a team to work with. It is important to find the right team because the investment is high and you want a return that will match that in value. 


Looking at the previous work that a firm has completed can help you get a better idea of the type of projects they have worked on and if they have the experience that you are searching for. Reading testimonials from their previous clients can be a great way to gain insight into what it is like to work with them throughout the process. 


Finding a collaborative team that handles everything from the design to execution can save you time and money. For example, by the construction process taking up less of your budget, you may be able to add in the extra patio you thought about or a porch area that you weren't sure would fit in the budget before.
