The Difference in our Homes is our unwavering commitment to enhancing quality of life through superior health, comfort, and design standards.
We spare no expense to ensure that every home outperforms the majority of new constructions in energy savings—offering our homeowners a living experience that sets a new benchmark for excellence.
NetZero Sealed-Shell Homes
Superior Insulation for Unmatched Home Efficiency
Our homes redefine comfort and efficiency with a sophisticated insulation system that promises an air-tight, acoustically serene, and thermally stable environment. We eschew traditional fiberglass for a combination of advanced open and closed cell spray foam that not only deadens exterior noise but also significantly surpasses typical insulation performance. This strategic choice in materials is what makes our living spaces 50% more energy efficient than standard homes, ensuring a quiet, comfortable, and cost-effective lifestyle for our discerning homeowners.
Enhanced Wall Construction
Innovation extends to the very bones of our homes, where we've reimagined wall construction for peak thermal performance. By constructing interior and exterior walls separately, we optimize the thermal break, a key component in maintaining a consistent indoor climate. This separation is meticulously filled with premium foam insulation, ensuring that the controlled interior atmosphere remains unperturbed by the extremes of Chicago's weather. This method elevates the integrity of our homes' energy efficiency, providing a seamless, invisible shield that operates silently to keep your home at the pinnacle of comfort.
Superior Window Engineering
Our commitment to a supreme living environment is crystallized in our state-of-the-art window systems. Beyond insulation, the precise selection of 6 and 4mm glass in our windows plays a strategic role in thermal regulation and acoustic control. This choice in glass thickness is not merely for insulation; it’s a calculated decision to enhance the quietude and serenity of your home. These windows are designed to complement the advanced insulation techniques already at work, creating a harmonious synergy that translates to tangible comfort and efficiency for our homeowners.
A Quieter Home
Advanced Home Soundproofing
Enhance your home's tranquility with our superior soundproofing methods. Our commitment to a serene living experience has led us to install advanced sound-deadening materials between all rooms and floors. This meticulous design choice ensures that every corner of your space is an undisturbed haven, free from the intrusions of external noise, providing an unmatched peaceful atmosphere throughout your home.
Wall & Base Plate Soundproofing Solutions
Beyond the inter-room barriers, every wall within the home, from the front-facing facade to the interior partitions, is embedded with top-tier sound-absorbing materials. This robust insulation is not only a barrier to traveling sound but also a means to dampen any internal reverberations. Coupled with this, the base plates—the foundational elements where walls meet floors—are meticulously treated with specialized seals and acoustic dampeners. This ensures a continuous and seamless soundproofing shield that contributes significantly to the overall hush and harmony of the living space.
Ceiling Insulation and Acoustic Design
The ceilings are fortified with a dual approach: an advanced insulation layer that serves as a dense buffer against overhead disturbances, paired with a thoughtfully designed acoustic profile. The geometry of the ceiling is crafted to disperse any penetrating noise, creating a soft, quiet ambiance within the room. These intentional design choices not only insulate but also enhance the quality of the interior soundscape, making for a home environment that is acoustically optimized for peace and comfort.
Thoughtful Design
Optimized Floorplans
Our floorplans are crafted with family living at their core, ensuring that individual privacy is respected. By deliberately designing non-adjoining bedrooms, we guarantee a peaceful, comfortable environment for each member of the household. Complementing this serenity, the heart of the home features an open layout with a dedicated office space, perfectly marrying modern living needs with elegant, functional design.
Secluded Primary Suites
In every unit, the primary suite stands as a testament to our commitment to tranquility and privacy. It is a carefully considered sanctuary, isolated from the home's lively shared spaces, to provide a restful, undisturbed retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Advanced Air Quality
Our homes are engineered with a focus on health and wellness, featuring advanced air purification as a standard. The inclusion of ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators) ensures that fresh air is continuously cycled in, while pre-conditioning reduces the demand on the HVAC system. To elevate indoor air quality further, we offer optional upgrades like medical-grade carbon filtration and UV antibacterial lamps, meticulously designed to combat allergens and bacteria, creating a safer, cleaner living environment for you and your family.
Smart Home System
Seamless Security and Surveillance Integration
Our smart home automation extends beyond convenience to offer top-tier security. With optional camera systems that sync effortlessly with your smart home network, you can monitor your residence from anywhere in the world. This integration allows for real-time surveillance, giving you the ability to rest easy knowing your home is secure and always within sight, no matter where you are.
Smart Locks
Elevate your home's security with our smart lock system, giving you the ability to lock and unlock your doors directly from your cell phone or tablet. Integrated into the smart home automation system, every exterior door lock is controllable from any mobile device. This technology ensures you'll never have to wonder if you've left a door unlocked or worry about locking yourself out—convenience and peace of mind are literally at your fingertips.
Smart Home Interactions for Everyday Ease
Experience the ease of a home that responds to you. Announce your arrival and watch as the lights turn on, your preferred music begins to play, and the temperature adjusts to your liking. Conversely, a simple command of "I'm leaving" activates a sequence ensuring all lights are off, doors are locked, and appliances are shut down. This automated intelligence not only creates a more efficient home but also grants peace of mind, all controlled effortlessly via your computer or smartphone.
