Visualizing an as-yet unbuilt home can be a challenge for buyers, who must choose details and finishes for a space that may still be in the early stages of construction. To conquer this challenge, Garman Builders welcomes our homebuyers into a 3,000-square-foot Design Studio, where they gain hands-on familiarity with the array of products and selections available. During one-on-one meetings with an expert Design Specialist in the studio, Garman’s clients are guided through the process of personalizing their dream home to suit their needs and tastes. Buyers refine their vision as they walk through three fully-outfitted model kitchens and three model bathrooms; these vignettes provide a three-dimensional interactive display, showcasing a variety of cabinet colors and styles, countertop materials, backsplash tile, lighting options, cabinet hardware, flooring options, plumbing fixtures, appliances, and more. As they move past the model designs, homebuyers encounter gallery spaces where many possible options are made available for them to see and touch. The exterior selections gallery offers all the necessary components for the outside finishes of the home, including sample panels of stone, brick, and siding. Here, clients will also choose garage doors, shutters, and front door color and style. Hundreds of samples in the interior selections gallery are at buyers’ fingertips, from hardwood and luxury vinyl flooring to carpet, countertops, and cabinetry. To fully picture how their selections will complement one another, clients transfer their chosen samples to Garman’s “Home in the Making” wall, where they can see their design choices for the entire home come together in one place. This facet of the studio allows for easy experimentation with the countless combinations of options and finishes available. Finally, an additional walk-through gallery space captures the remaining design necessities: lighting fixtures, interior wall accents, stair railing options, and storage systems.
