Stylized Art Deco Home – Elegance Meets Modern Efficiency

In the heart of the city, this stunning Art Deco home proves that extraordinary design doesn’t require extravagant budgets. Conceived through a unique collaboration between an artist-owner and architect, this 1,800-square-foot masterpiece transforms a modest city lot into an efficient multi-bedroom haven that catches every eye.

Art Deco Home Design

The exterior commands attention with its sophisticated Art Deco elements, including dramatic curved walls and a statement-making front entrance crowned by an artistic nouveau-style overhang. Custom front doors serve as a magnificent focal point, while the building’s clever parapet wall design creates an illusion of height that elevates the entire streetscape.

Smart Engineering for Sustainable Living

Behind its striking façade, this beautiful home showcases innovative engineering solutions. The unique butterfly roof design, concealed by parapet walls, originally fed into a 5,000-gallon rainwater collection system. A thoughtfully designed rain garden and permeable driveway with gravel channels manage water runoff efficiently, demonstrating environmental responsibility on an urban scale.

Space Optimization at Its Finest

Inside, this Art Deco home achieves the remarkable feat of accommodating six bedrooms and three bathrooms within its footprint, plus a dedicated laundry room. This efficient design proves perfect for rental purposes, maximizing both space and return on investment through smart space planning and strategic design choices.

Value-Engineered Excellence

The project exemplifies how thoughtful design can create maximum impact using standard materials. Clean sheetrock interiors and stucco exterior walls provide a perfect canvas for the home’s architectural details. Every element was carefully considered to balance aesthetic appeal with cost-effectiveness, resulting in a property that looks far more expensive than its actual construction costs.

Community Connection

This project’s success extends beyond its physical boundaries, fostering valuable relationships within the local community. The owner’s satisfaction led to multiple referrals, testament to the design’s success in meeting both aesthetic and practical goals while maintaining budget consciousness.

The design and permit were by Chad Williams designer-builder, and the construction was done by the owner.
