Exciting possibilities accompany the second half of life. The children have left home and you are facing the reality of a new life season.
Many couples are ready to downsize when the kids leave home. However, entertaining friends, weekly family dinners, and space for visiting grandchildren are still a very high priority! Master bedroom on the main floor, laundry room conveniently close, and open spaces for visiting guests are more important than ever.
Our Horizon Homes specialize in one level living. At the design stage we carefully consider your unique needs for designing a home that will be suitable for you for many years to come. Some of the standard features we include:
If you wish, we will design a specific closet that could later be incorporated into an elevator shaft in the event a wheel chair is brought into the home.
Typical doorways are 36” as opposed to 30” to allow plenty of space for moving furniture and wheel chair access.
We design 43” hallways that feel wider, less confining, and more comfortable.
We build our stairs wider – typically 42” wide – for a roomier, more comforta
ble and less confining stairwell.
For extra security measures, we ensure an alarm pad is placed in the Master Bedroom and in the garage near the door leading into your home
We specifically ensure we minimize the number of steps into the front entry of our homes, and from the garage into the home.
These are just some of the design features we place in our Horizon homes. By doing so, we ensure you are able to enjoy your home for a long time.
Add up all the cracks, gaps and other openings in your house and chances are the total air leakage area is about the size of a dart board. That means you are spending a lot of cash heating the outdoors!
Each Sonbuilt home is tested for air leakage using a fan door test. Our homes always test less than 1.5 air changes per hour. The average home built by most builders is 6.2! By using an HRV (heat recovery ventilator), we keep fresh air circulating but not escaping through numerous cracks.

Kitchen ideal for entertaining
Leanna, our designer, recently attended a seminar promoting the concept of the “Live-In” kitchen. Kitchens have become a multi-purpose space, frequently centered in the midst of the great room.
Do you enjoy entertaining? Is your kitchen the hub of family life?
We often design our kitchens into large open areas where entertaining, family activities, conversation, and food are all centered into one convenient living space. A space that’s large enough for entertaining plenty of guests, yet intimate to encourage family board games or homework.
Ask us about what we recommend for your dream kitchen!
Has your garage become your workshop?
For many families the garage is a multipurpose area for vehicle parking, storage, and Saturday afternoon projects. When we design your home, we will ensure your garage is designed and built in a way that is adequate for your needs.
