Luxury is a very personal term and it ’ s more about quality and desired lifestyle than price . To some , it may be a $ 500,000 renovation to their 40 year old home . To others , it may be a 6 million dollar custom built home . For me , when designing a home , luxury is about interesting elevations which add great street appeal . It ’ s about using high-end materials and finishes . It ’ s about having unique features as you enter each part of the home that give you that an inspiring sense of luxury .
Part of designing and building a luxury home is to make it unique . A one-of-a-kind home with the most distinctive characteristics . Some of the common elements that you would see in a luxury home would include a grand entrance , tall ceilings on all floors , professional quality kitchens , cool architectural features , opulent bathrooms with spa like features , large dressing rooms with natural light , sun rooms with plants bringing the outside into the home , fitness studios , home theatres and smart technology features .
We ’ ve pushed the envelope into the extreme luxury zone by having two storey basements with a car elevator going to the lowest basement floor which is an entire underground parking garage , whilst the first basement has a half sized basketball court , exercise room and spa . We ’ ve included marble staircases , walk-in cigar humidors and indoor waterfalls with fire features . Imagination and budget are the only limits . - Michal J . Cerny , PMP , P .
