Building a custom home is more than just creating a place to live—it’s about crafting a space that reflects your unique lifestyle, preferences, and needs. At our Laurel Park Project, we’ve taken great care to incorporate design features that elevate both form and function. From making the most of natural light to creating luxurious and practical spaces, here are six unique custom home features that truly set this project apart.
Floor-to-Ceiling Windows for Natural Light
Natural light is one of the most sought-after elements in modern home design, and in the Pacific Northwest, it’s especially precious. That’s why, in our Laurel Park Project, we made floor-to-ceiling windows a priority. These soaring windows flood the interior with light, giving the space a bright, airy feel even on cloudy days. Plus, they offer stunning views of Emerald City’s greenery and mountains—a perfect balance of indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. So when deciding on unique custom home features to incorporate, put floor-to-ceiling windows on the top of your list.
Kitchen Island with Seating
The kitchen is the heart of any home, and a well-designed kitchen island serves as a multifunctional centerpiece. We integrated seating into the kitchen island to create a space that fosters connection and functionality. Whether it’s for quick family breakfasts, casual meals, or social gatherings, the low-profile bar stools neatly tuck under the island’s overhang. Moreover, this makes the space as practical as it is inviting.
Floor-to-Ceiling Fireplace Surround
Few things draw a room together like a dramatic fireplace. For this custom build, we designed a floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround using unpolished black marble tile with striking white veining. This bold design choice adds elegance, contrast, and focus to the space. In fact, the fireplace is not just a heat source—it’s a cozy centerpiece that defines the room and makes a lasting impression. Every new home should consider having an amazing fireplace design.
Custom Walk-In Closets
Walk-in closets are a staple of any custom home design, but what sets ours apart is the attention to personal needs and storage customization. Each walk-in closet was thoughtfully designed to accommodate the homeowner’s belongings. They include designated spaces for frequently accessed items and displays. Personalized storage solutions like these don’t just keep things organized—they make daily life simpler and more efficient.
Freestanding Tub with Adjacent Shower
A freestanding tub and walk-in shower are often seen as unique features in custom homes, and we’ve incorporated both into our Laurel Park Project.
For a luxurious twist on a traditional bathroom design, we placed the freestanding tub right next to the walk-in shower, creating an open-concept layout that feels like a personal spa. Therefore, this design keeps the tub and shower distinct yet seamlessly connected, balancing functionality with serenity. The result is a relaxing retreat right within the custom home.
Rooftop Patio
Perhaps the most show stopping feature of all, the rooftop patio takes custom home living to the next level—literally. Previously a luxury reserved for urban settings, we’ve brought the rooftop patio to this residential build, offering sweeping views of Puget Sound. This outdoor haven is perfect for enjoying summer evenings, hosting elevated dinner parties, or simply relaxing under the stars. It’s the ultimate blend of indoor-outdoor living.
Elevate Your Custom Home Experience
For Laurel Park Project, each feature was carefully chosen to enhance the homeowner’s quality of life and reflect their unique style. Natural light-filled interiors, luxurious bathrooms, and stunning outdoor spaces elevate the experience of living in a custom home. Besides, these thoughtful design elements redefine modern luxury and comfort.
