Their dream included a family-friendly environment, complete with features that would cater to both children and adults.

The Process

Turning vision into reality

To bring our clients’ dream home to life, we embarked on a collaborative and meticulous process. We started with detailed selections meetings to choose the perfect materials and finishes that matched their vision. Weekly calls kept us aligned with their expectations, while regular text updates throughout the week ensured seamless communication and quick resolution of any questions or concerns.

Our team actively presented ideas and incorporated their personal touches, creating a truly customized experience. We remained flexible and attentive, revisiting the design to fine-tune any imperfections and ensure the final result exceeded their expectations. This iterative approach guaranteed that the home not only met but surpassed their aspirations.

The REsult

A dream home realized

The result was a spectacular transformation that perfectly embodied our clients' vision. Their new home now features a unique kids' hanging bed, adding a playful and imaginative touch to their family-friendly space.

Stunning canal views are showcased both in the front and back of the house, maximizing the natural beauty of the surroundings. Advanced Lutron systems and battery-operated blinds provide effortless control over lighting and privacy, while smart film technology offers an innovative solution for adaptable window coverage. The integration of LED lighting in the railings adds a modern, elegant touch throughout the home.

One of the standout features is a TV that discreetly raises out of the bed, combining convenience with luxury. Our clients were thrilled with the outcome and his home not only met but exceeded their expectations, turning their dream into a stunning reality.

Client testimonial

“The attention to detail and care for quality makes Miken a great builder that we would highly recommend.”

“We used Miken to build a custom water-front home in Fenwick Island, DE. I interviewed 6+ premium builders in the area and decided to go with their team. We felt comfortable enough doing an agreement with them to do design-assist / pre-construction services and we did not bid out the plans. They were also highly recommended by our architect, Chris Pattey - Becker Morgan Group.

The Miken team was very accommodating to order material early and store it to help prevent project delays due to material delays during COVID. The build process allowed us to get into the house in about 9 months, which is almost record breaking for the area and scope. The attention to detail and care for quality makes Miken a great builder that we would highly recommend.”
