Your home is your sanctuary. At Beechwood Carolinas, we consider your health and wellbeing in every aspect of our homes and communities. Your home gym or spa, outdoor living spaces and even your filtration systems are given as much thought and consideration in the planning process as your kitchen and bathrooms. Air, light, water, comfort and sound are integral features of our home design.

From the beginning of the design process, we consider what features truly make a difference in health and well-being. From carefully designing every room for the best natural lighting and offering more energy-efficient windows to selecting in-house air quality systems and water filtration rough-ins. Every aspect of your home, whether visible or integrated, is designed with your well-being in mind.

In our luxury home collection, we offer floor plans with flexibility. Finished bonus rooms and extra bedrooms give you the freedom of a dedicated work-from-home office or homeschool classroom. Create a yoga studio or meditation cave to center your body and mind. Our innovative and spacious bathrooms allow you to create the perfect at-home spa experience. The bonus garage on The Magnolia floor plan is the perfect space for a private at-home gym, so you don’t disturb the rest of your household with your guilty pleasure workout playlist.

At Beechwood Carolinas, we put thoughtful care into our land planning in order to surround our residents with the grounding presence of nature. If you select a meadow or wooded lot in one of our Union County communities you have gorgeous community green space with easy access to local parks and nature trails. Our Lake Norman community offers waterfront or water view homes with access to over 30 acres of carefully preserved natural land with walking trails and parks.

Our thoughtful planning for your wellbeing goes beyond just our homes. Homeownership at our Broadmoor at Marvin community includes social membership at the renowned Firethorne Country Club. This allows you to extend your lifestyle with world-class golf, tennis, swimming and an array of amenities and services.

At Beechwood Carolinas, innovative design and construction are an integral part of who we are. From concept to execution, we incorporate cutting-edge technology and revolutionary ideas to create your dream home. Your Beechwood Carolinas home reflects living the way you want, today and into the future. Our holistic and forward-thinking approach to land planning, design, space, and lifestyle enable us to personalize the homes we build to meet your vision.

When working with designers, we consider every angle - literally! Your home is more than just curb appeal, so we develop four-sided architecture, carefully considering side and rear elevations to match the dynamics of the front of the home. From clean, bright white homes to dark, saturated earth tones, Beechwood Carolinas also incorporates fresh and rich palettes to differentiate from other communities for a unique yet timeless home style.

From the start, our design process is very image centric, focusing on every detail from aesthetic to functionality. With 40 years of experience learning and observing how people live, what makes them happy in their homes, how to maximize light and space, and more, we blend our Northeastern roots with the local architecture and ambiance of the South and take it to the drawing board. After the exterior style is determined, Beechwood Carolinas develops the floor plan, constantly keeping the flow of the space and how people live at the forefront of our minds. Before any of our plans are finalized, we create a 3D model of the entire space to truly understand the scale and proportion of the design. Those 3D models allow us to move through the homes we create and see them through the eyes of our buyers.

Some builders or even buyers associate luxury homes with a bigger floor plan, nicer finishes, and a bigger budget. At Beechwood Carolinas, luxury means more. We aim to incorporate differentiating elements that set our homes apart from others in the market that fall within a similar area or price point. We elevate the entire experience with unique features like hidden outlets in the kitchen for clean sightlines, wet rooms with oversized showers and free-standing tubs, or his and hers layouts for a spacious and luxurious feel. It’s the details that make all the difference, so by the time each buyer steps into their home, they feel the passion and thoughtfulness that went into every step of the design.

Luckily for our buyers, we aren’t the only ones that get to enjoy our innovative design process. We use a state-of-the-art program that allows you, the buyer, to make design choices for your home before you even step into our design studio. Using this software to customize everything from floor plans to paint colors allows you to truly visualize your dream home. Our team of professionals is available to guide you every step of the way.

Beechwood Carolinas believes in local talent. That’s why we partnered with Charlotte-based design firm 505 Design and their residential design lead, John Oxenfeld, for our luxury home collection in our Weddington Glen and Broadmoor at Marvin communities.

We sat down with John to get an insight into his design process, his thoughts on the Beechwood Carolinas brand and more.

What would you say is unique about Beechwood Carolina’s style?

John Oxenfeld: A lot of other builders I’ve worked with are based in the southeast and the style and vernacular they use are very rigid. That’s not the case with Beechwood Carolina’s design. I appreciate the work Beechwood has done, especially out in the Hamptons and bringing a little of that Hamptons Influence into the Carolinas has been fun. I think the design is still very appropriate stylistically and you can see some great shingle style homes if you go through Myers Park. So bringing some of that flair and style to their product is what we’re looking to do. I always say that if you put one foot in the future and one foot in the past, you can create something that is very timeless. With Beechwood Carolinas projects if you put one foot in the South and one foot in the Northeast, you can create something that is still appropriate for their audience, but completely unique.

What would you consider to be innovative about Beechwood Carolinas design?

John Oxenfeld: From day one they have been very adamant about not wanting to be a cookie cutter production builder. I think a lot of folks in the production world draw a front elevation and whatever the floor plan is dictates what the rest of the house looks like. Beechwood Carolinas has been very good about caring what 4-sided architecture looks like and really creating a well-crafted home all around and something that is more than just a front elevation.

How do you tie in local architectural elements into your design?

John Oxenfeld: For me it’s exciting to not be doing homes that are just white. We’re trying to incorporate some richer palettes in the Beechwood Carolinas properties. You see that a little more up north. In the south, you see brighter colors, but we’re looking at a wide range of more saturated tones with Beechwood Carolinas.

What drew you to the Beechwood brand and made you want to partner with them?

John Oxenfeld: I had previously worked with a member of the Beechwood team, and he introduced me to Steven (Dubb), who has really impressed me. I think he is just a very kind and thoughtful person who is willing to take the time and spend the money to do things right and treat people well along the way. I always say I would rather work with somebody I would want to have dinner with than just somebody that’s rich. I’ve enjoyed talking with them and Bob (Kardos) and his team have been great to work with.

What is your design process like?

John Oxenfeld: We are very image centric to start the process. We create image boards to look at what else is in the market and also to gain consensus on our direction. Especially with our single-family product line we sit down and look at some styles and thoughts we have. That’s where we begin to blend both north and south stylistically. That’s our step one. From there we look at a floor plan, keeping in mind the flow of the space and how people live. We model up in 3D so we can move around the homes and really get a sense of scale and proportion better than with a front elevation and 2D drawing.

What are some of the thought processes behind the innovation with kitchen and bathroom design in these homes?

John Oxenfeld: It’s just breaking the status quo. People get into the habit of doing the same things just because that’s what they’ve always done. I think other companies will say they want to do luxury products, so they just make it a little bigger and make the finishes a little nicer and charge more money for it. Beechwood Carolinas hasn’t done that. They’ve been really conscious about how their homes can truly be luxurious and different and I think that attention to detail will really differentiate them in the market. Our kitchen layouts and master bath layouts offer something you don’t typically see in the market.

What is about the kitchen and bath layouts that are different?

John Oxenfeld: There are auxiliary kitchens being built in some of the homes, that’s not something you can get with a lot of builders. There are no outlets in the backsplash so you have clean lines throughout the kitchen. We’re doing some wet rooms where you have the oversized shower with the standing tub inside. Some of our bathrooms feature shared showers for his and hers layouts. I think overall it will feel a lot different than what you typically see.

Beechwood Carolinas is just doing something innovative and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.

Whether at home or away, today’s options for security and home management mean your home is a safe haven. Top-of-the-line security features and smart home technology are important to the Beechwood Carolinas team, so each home built is designed with those elements in mind. As the home building industry evolves, so do the expectations of buyers, so developers must take that into consideration year-over-year.

Not only do home builders find new, innovative ways to design homes, but the vendors they partner with continue to improve their products with features that can really set a home apart. When exploring security assets, key boxes we check, specifically for single-family homes, include: a security system monitor with exterior door glass break alert, security cameras at the garage, and video doorbells at the front door.

Smart technology has grown in popularity over the years, and it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t appreciate the convenience that smart living features bring to the home. Components that are incorporated into the design process, such as a USB charging system in the kitchen, under cabinet lighting and under cabinet mounted outlets, create a seamless space with modern touches. Energy efficient elements, including Low-E windows or a HERS Rating, complement those features that ultimately save the homeowner money and support a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

While some features are simply a plus, many buyers have non-negotiables that fall within the security and smart home category, and if a home doesn’t have one of those items, it at minimum needs to come with the capability to make those additions down the road. For example, a new build may not be sold with an electric car charging station, solar panels or a backup generator, but a high-quality builder that values smart home living will incorporate a rough in so the buyer can add those capabilities if desired.

State-of-the-art technology and appliance solutions are available to simplify each buyer’s life and give them peace of mind. We aim to meet our buyers’ needs and desires to fit their lifestyle and protect what’s important to their everyday routines. A home is way more than a place to sleep at night, and we want each one to feel elevated.

As we continue to build exceptional homes in the Carolinas, we’ll keep up with the changing trends and find ways to provide even more value for our homeowners.

Your Beechwood Carolinas home is available with choices that are good for you and the world around you. Environmentally friendly and resilient building materials along with an array of energy-efficient systems, fixtures and appliances are part of the many ways you can customize your new home. Let’s take a look at key elements that our team values when designing your home.

Eco-Friendly Systems

As a buyer, you want a home that exemplifies efficiency and sustainability. We want to empower those choices by offering eco-friendly systems in each home we build. These are not one-size-fits-all, so we take the time to tailor each system for that space. With that in mind, scalability is a characteristic to look for when exploring various options. Examples that fit the bill and are considered when Beechwood designs each home and its corresponding features include: an electronic air scrubber with UV lights, Low-E windows, and walls with an exterior weather barrier. Each home is also HERS Rated, which meets the industry standard for measuring a home’s energy efficiency.

Functional Fixtures and Appliances

The interior design of the home presents not only the opportunity to create a beautiful space, but also to expand on its energy efficiency. Daily habits such as flipping a light switch on and off or turning on an overhead fan can even become more sustainable with the right fixtures and appliances in place. A high-efficiency furnace, gas fireplace with gas high-definition logs, and other features such as LED lighting fixtures can be more beneficial than alternative options a buyer may have utilized in a previous home. With every community of homes our team designs, we extensively research the products that are placed in each space and continue to look toward the future as new products are constantly coming to market. That way, you can rest assured that the fixtures and appliances we’ve chosen are ready to meet your lifestyle, values and standards.

At Beechwood Carolinas, sustainability and energy efficiency go hand-in-hand when designing and constructing our homes. We want you to feel good about and proud of the space you live in. From eco-friendly systems to efficient fixtures and appliances, a home should reflect what the buyer and the industry as a whole values in today’s home building market.
