What is RD Home's design approach?
The beauty of constructing homes is that with infill type development (developing in existing neighborhoods), every lot is presented with its own unique set of obstacles and characteristics. We enjoy the challenge of working with the architect to best utilize those difficulties to deliver a functional floor plan for the site. Furthermore, we ensure our homes stay relevant for many years to come, with the objective of developing living spaces that need very few modifications over the years.
What advice do you have for those considering building a custom home?
Trust and communication are two fundamental aspects to evaluate. We suggest our clients write out exactly what constitutes a successful project? This may help guide you to the right builder and give you the key points to evaluate in the process. From our years of experience, consistent and effective communication is key; along with a clear vision of the end goal will help make your project a success!
Tell us about your featured Kirkland project
This home is designed in a transitional style to harmonize with the landscape of the Kirkland Highlands neighborhood. This floorplan was crafted specifically for the lot and include the garage on the main floor, 4 bedrooms plus loft on the upper floor, guest suite/den on the main floor, and a full suite with rec area on the lower floor that daylights out to the backyard.
Ryan Deason, Founder of RD Homes
Ryan Deason has lived in Kirkland for the last ten years. Joining the home building industry in 2004, Deason “started at the bottom at a young age and worked my way up, learning about all aspects of building like carpentry, planning, and land purchasing. I knew I wanted to offer ‘the complete build’” he says, serving clients in each phase of their home building process.
Natural Light
One thing we were very intentional about in our design for this home was natural light. The design features large windows, multiple skylights, and expansive sliding doors that bathe the interior of the home in sunlight. This approach not only enhances living space but also helps to lower energy consumption.
Neutral Color Palette
With people spending an increasing amount of time at home, we embrace neutral color palettes that foster a sense of calm and warmth while incorporating natural materials. These soft hues complement the rich textures and patterns of hardwood floors, cabinetry, countertops, and tiles, resulting in a cohesive aesthetic that brings the beauty of the outdoors inside and creates a warm, welcoming environment.
Floating Staircase
The home showcases floating staircase that act as a focal architectural element, connecting the entry to both indoor and outdoor spaces. The overall openness of the staircase allows the natural light from the skylights above to drench the main area of the home with natural light.
