cellars and gyms have been popular for some time now. Even though saunas have always been a well-liked option, we have recently noticed a shift toward larger models with more features, such as backlit salt walls and infrared lights. Alongside saunas, we have installed many spa-inspired areas that include both dry and wet saunas, as well as glam rooms equipped with hair styling and cutting sinks, makeup counters, and massage rooms. Furthermore, we are seeing a rise in demand for indoor golf simulators, and we have even installed a few indoor shooting ranges, though those are still relatively rare. The overarching trend indicates that homeowners increasingly want a variety of recreational spaces, both indoors and outdoors, with honorable mentions like plunge pools, steam rooms, and massage rooms,” Michael unveils.

Michael shares insights into how these events have influenced the selection of materials and technologies in home building.“ Fortunately, we are located south of Los Angeles, so we did not experience any major fires in this area. That being said, there is still significant potential for wildfires in some of the regions where we build. Many of our houses back up to wilderness areas, including one I recently visited that spans 15 acres with abundant brush. In this particular home, we have implemented a completely fire-resistant design, which means we did not use any wood to build it at all, it is all concrete, steel and glass. Due to its large size, we also had to bring fire hydrants onto the property for firefighting purposes.
