Homes competitive home building sector.“ Our main distinctive feature is our passion and excitement when it comes to refining the details, interior design, millwork, floor plans, and architectural design. We are continually striving to perfect these five elements and differentiate ourselves from other home builders. Additionally, as a smaller operation, we have the flexibility to spend some extra time and resources on these aspects of our projects, which, in my opinion, is what keeps us in the game. Staying ahead of the competition is especially important nowadays. In the past, when there was less competition, we did not have to be as aware and cognizant of other builders copying our work. However, today, the scenario is the complete opposite; the market is saturated with competition, everyone employs designers, and builders constantly imitate other builders. As a result, there is not a single unique idea anymore, with many projects feeling like replicas of one another.
Thus, trying to keep that unique individual stamp on our houses remains our primary focus,” he affirms.
To illustrate his point, Mike mentions a unique property Mirikeen has recently finished building, named The Monticello.“ The development phase of this exceptional custom home took us considerably longer than we had initially projected, so we were particularly excited when the time came to commence construction. Thanks to our talented group of designers, the overall aesthetic of the house was stunningly unique. Our vision was to make sure that the interior design harmonized beautifully with the exterior, given that the property was in a prime location. Ultimately, we aimed to create a cohesive concept that made the project truly stand out both in terms of interior and exterior design.”
Lindsey Kull, Director of Operations, shares her own input into what made The Monticello such a distinctive and well-executed project.
