Project Details
Project Summary:
The reality of modern custom home construction, evolving scope, and unexpected discoveries.

What began as a planned renovation quickly evolved after structural investigations revealed a compromised foundation that could not be safely built upon. The decision was made to fully demolish the existing structure and reimagine the property as a ground-up custom home, setting the stage for a complete redevelopment rooted in long-term performance and structural integrity.
Owner-Driven Vision & Architectural Flow
Crafted from a long-held vision by owner Dominic, the home was designed to support the lifestyle of an executive family. The layout balances intimate, grounding private spaces with open, welcoming environments ideal for hosting. A refined architectural flow anchors the home, highlighted by an open-concept kitchen with sculptural islands, recessed dual wall ovens, and seamless transitions that support both daily living and large-scale entertaining.
Integrated Outdoor Living, Site Design & Function



The home extends naturally into its surroundings through a 14-foot sliding glass system that opens onto a fully covered, heated outdoor living space. Chef-inspired cooking stations, integrated barbecues, refrigeration, running sinks, and ceiling-mounted gas heaters enable year-round use, while a custom brick fireplace adds warmth and character. The fully landscaped backyard is framed by a custom infinity retaining wall and complemented by a detached rear-access garage, enhancing privacy, accessibility, and overall site functionality.
Refined Finishes & Private Retreats

Interior and exterior finishes were selected with longevity, comfort, and craftsmanship in mind. The executive primary suite features a glass steam shower, black porcelain soaker tub, and a his-and-hers walk-in closet accented by architectural LED lighting. Every finish throughout the home reflects a cohesive design language that blends timeless materials with modern technology.



Through a carefully planned and phased approach, VALROC delivered a home that reflects vision, adaptability, and precision. To provide greater insight into the journey, this project has been broken down into process-driven construction stages, each documented in detail throughout the following sections.
