The Outside/Inside House
The owners of this home wanted to bring the outside inside.
The great room takes full advantage of the stunning views with the largest window panes that Sisler Builders has ever installed. Windows abound throughout this house. The couple also wanted an energy efficient and easily maintained house. Sisler Builders recommended architect Ernie Ruskey, owner of Tektonika Studio Architects, to design the project. Ruskey’s proposal brings the exterior and interior living spaces together and a geo-thermal radiant heating system heats the entire house using electricity from roof-top solar panels. Sisler Builders custom woodworkers built an impressive staircase to the lower level, the cabinetry in the kitchen, mudroom, pantry, downstairs bar, and primary vanity. An outdoor room near the main entry has a fireplace, grilling area, plenty of space to entertain and is situated optimally to enjoy the views. The lower level’s ceiling is soundproofed so the must-have golf simulator isn’t heard upstairs. Construction of the 4,200-sq. ft. house started in 2021 and took 16 months to finish. Project manager Luke Sisler said the project went smoothly despite the unprecedented building obstacles they faced during the pandemic. The Sisler team was able to finish exactly one day sooner than expected and the owners made dinner in their new kitchen a day early.
