In recent years, jewel box houses have increased in popularity. These small homes are designed to stand the test of time by using premium materials and optimizing layouts to be more efficient. Entertaining spaces are larger while lots of windows are strategically placed to let in plenty of natural light. If you’re currently trying to find the house design that’s right for you, a jewel box home may be a great option!
Why Consider a Jewel Box House?
In recent years, a lot of us are finding ourselves at home more often due to factors such as an increase in remote work. Why not have a space that feels perfect for you? While jewel box houses are small, they’re still built to feel luxurious. Finer materials go into construction while quality products are used in the finishes. Strategically built floor-to-ceiling windows are designed to be energy-efficient so they can let in the warmth of the sun during cooler months without letting in the chill of the weather. While these houses may be a higher upfront cost, the years of maintenance and energy efficiency tends to make up for it. Plus, this house is designed around you! You get to choose the areas where you want more space. Need a larger kitchen for entertaining? You got it. Want to shrink down the mudroom so it’s one less spot to clean? The decision is yours. A smaller space also means more selection on where to build. From a mid-century modern house in Kirkwood to a cozy cabin in the Jefferson County woods, you can build the house that’s right for you.
