John Webb enjoyed all the design details he worked in throughout the Hatfield Project. From creating an in-home spa to the heated floors, to the elegant lighting coupled with natural sunlight, it turned out beautifully. John walks us through how he made these decisions and the overall appeal and charm they provide.
In 2020 John Webb and his team designed and built a magnificently efficient home in Coburg. In this post John introduces some of the major design elements: from the outdoor living space, the built in cabinetry, and other interior design choices. As an experienced Eugene Modern Home Builder, John offers great advice and points out things a lot of folks don’t consider.
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.
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.
“Handrails – same thing: sandblasted details. Even the little tracks I found these online. All the woodworking is stained the same. The door was a learning experience. I tried a hunk of. 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. So it was two 3/4” pieces married together. Then we sandblasted it all and then we put it all back together.
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.
During John Webb’s final walkthrough of the Hatfield project he talks about the quality and function of IKEA cabinets and Dendra Doors custom fronts. Starting with an efficient home design John makes sure every inch of this home is both functional and elegant.
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.
