John talks a bit about the kinds of homes he likes to design. As a new home builder in Eugene he doesn’t take on just any project. John builds modern, healthy new homes that with energy efficient designs from the ground up. The Hatfield home was started with a post-tension, radiant heat foundation. That means it has warm, polished concrete floor that might crack, but will never separate.

From more classic to sophisticated design elements, this new home build needed to be top notch.
With the odd shape of this lot John put the back yard in the front. To achieve this and provide privacy the entire lot has been elevated an extra 6 feet above street level. Take a stroll with us to see how John’s plans evolved throughout this new home build project.
John explains why, as a New Home Builder he loves the challenge of odd shaped lots and the opportunities they provide. In this post John covers challenges municipalities present, his plans for landscaping and Interior Design. From the ground up this is one of the more beautiful, energy efficient, and comfortable homes in Lane County.

After we got it all stained and done, the whole thing warped – we had to take it apart. We ended up putting two layers together and gluing it, and it kept everything nice and true.

During the final walkthrough of the Hatfield project John Webb gets more in depth about form and function of IKEA and Dendra Doors products. For efficiency we of course see more drawers within drawers, reclaimed wood for Dendra Doors’ floating shelves and mirror frames, custom finishes on doors and reclaimed wood, IKEA quality for a well designed walk-in closet, and a vaulted ceiling in the Master Bedroom with tongue in groove throughout the home for real wood accents.

We have a door company that we call Dendra Doors where we make overlays and finishes for IKEA cabinetry. We have some of that in here, and then we did use some IKEA cabinets. All the cabinet bases themselves are IKEA and I have some Dendra overlays and IKEA overlays.

“It was a difficult house to figure out where to start and where to stop. Even though we were really only dealing with the inside. Even on the Third Floor we opened the loft up, which was just a storage space with a very steep staircase. We couldn’t mess with the staircases just because we couldn’t bring them into today’s code standards.

“All the Dendra Doors stuff is really nice. When I think of timelessness though, I always think of wood. And when I say timeless I think of things as far back as, you know, when my Grandma was around. Stuff from back then that’s still in use today and still looks good. It’s timeless, it’s the test of time. So when you look at wood, you know it’s timeless. Stone is timeless….
