Haus is the new Home

The ‘rustic yet refined’ aesthetic of NevelHaus is achieved with thoughtful architectural composition, construction techniques, and material selections. Its efficient footprint and sustainable approach to construction represent a lighter kind of abundance – the abundance of living well while honoring cherished resources. From the overall building profile and floorplan flow to creature comforts and a conscious connection to the surrounding landscape, NevelHaus is a pleasure for all the senses. The steep pitch of the roof angle recalls iconic rural black barns, giving the home a modern exterior silhouette with a gracious vaulted living loft inside. The crisp abstract form of the home is balanced by warm cypress wood siding outside, and wide-plank white oak floors inside. A monolithic kitchen wall, crafted from wood charred black in the Japanese shou sugi ban method, neatly conceals abundant storage and functions as a stabilizing backdrop to the airy open-plan living space. The large sculptural kitchen island is crafted from Caesarstone-quartz, which is visually reminiscent of bluestone from the Catskill Mountain region, offering exceptional durability and an eco-friendly profile. Radiant-heated flooring in bathrooms keeps toes toasty on chilly days.
