1. First Floor Living: Elevate Entertaining

Gone are the days of finished basements designed to entertain; we’re bringing the party upstairs. Our designs seamlessly integrate entertainment areas into the main floor, ensuring that the kitchen isn’t just a culinary hub but also a social center. By opening doors to porches and outdoor living spaces, we blur the lines between indoors and outdoors, creating a cohesive and expansive living experience.

2. Ceilings: Where Detail Meets Height

With ceilings reaching new heights, our homes invite you to look up as much as you look down. From coffered ceilings to cathedral and tray designs, every detail adds a touch of sophistication and high-end craftsmanship. Ceilings have become the solution to divide and define space within an open floor plan.  Beams, moldings, texture, and well-placed lighting create a sense of grandeur and warmth in equal measure.

3. Staircases: Making Every Step Count

Staircases aren’t just a means to an end—they’re statements of elegance and accessibility.  Staircases are used many times each day, so opening them up to be stylish and functional gives you the wow you’re seeking. Our widened and grand staircases welcome you into the heart of the home, with thoughtful designs that maximize space and light (yes, we even put windows in staircases). Whether adorned with wood stains or iron spindles, each staircase is a testament to creativity and craftsmanship.

4. Exterior Elegance: Where Vision Meets Reality

The exterior of your home sets the tone for what lies within. Every detail contributes to the overall vision, from the roof’s pitch to the choice of materials. Whether your style is contemporary, farmhouse, or anything in between, our architects and designers will work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

5. Inside/Outside: Crafting Seamless Luxury

Our commitment to giving you the WOW extends to the outdoors. Pella sliding glass units blur the lines between interior and exterior spaces, while expansive kitchens flow effortlessly into family rooms and outdoor living areas. Whether you’re entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening with family, our designs ensure that every moment (inside or out) is savored.

6. Outdoor Living: Outdoor Oasis

As you enjoy your custom home from inside to outside, we cannot overlook the splendor of outdoor living. Outdoor kitchens are designed for both luxury and functionality, featuring amenities such as built-in grills, refrigerators, prepping stations, storage, and more. While most Wieland Builder homes include a signature covered porch, many aspects of outdoor living can be tailored to your lifestyle, such as fire pits, grilling stations, a sunning area, or a swimming pool. From covered porches to fully screened-in spaces, our outdoor living areas provide the perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment.

7. Pantries: Where Form Meets Function

A well-designed pantry is more than just storage—it’s an extension of your kitchen. Whether hidden or prominently displayed, our walk-in pantries offer ample space for organization and functionality. Pantries are often called a “second kitchen” or a butler’s pantry because these luxury pantries are equipped with appliances, sinks, prep counters, and more. By prioritizing your needs and desires, we ensure that every aspect of your home reflects your lifestyle and preferences.

At Wieland Builders, our ultimate vision is to create spaces that evoke a sense of awe and tranquility from the moment you step through the door. From breathtaking views to open and inviting floorplans, every detail is crafted with intention and care. The true measure of success is knowing you will rush home from work to enjoy the sanctuary we’ve helped create.
