With a touch of secrecy and intrigue, Silverado Custom Homes is undertaking an ambitious project that should place it in rarified territory in the Canadian green building industry.
As Jeff Silverberg, President and Founder of Silverado Custom Homes Corp., likes to say about the home in Toronto’s Lawrence Park area: “It’s energy efficiency on steroids.
“It will have state-of-art energy features far beyond the norm in our industry in Canada,” he says. “Silverado and its team of professionals are at the leading edge in design and construction of highly energy-efficient custom homes in Canada and this project will further attest to that.”
As one of the top custom builders in Toronto, Silverado has overseen the construction of over 1,000 homes in the most prestigious areas of the GTA, says Silverberg, and is in a unique position to meet the high expectations of discriminating clients.
And, while preferring not to divulge the identity of the client involved in the Lawrence Park project, he says Silverado will streamline the process and ensure a satisfying and stress-free experience for all involved.
Silverberg says that Silverado helps the client through the entire design/build home construction process – from designing the perfect home to adding finishing touches, providing all the services required.
He says Silverado works side by side with trusted contractors to ensure that all aspects of the custom home work can be completed to the highest standards and specifications; often assigning a consultant to be involved with the design/build process to ensure all necessary criteria are met.
The Lawrence Park client, Silverberg says, has chosen to take advantage of many of the latest green building details available in the marketplace today.
The list of basic energy features is long, and definitely comprehensive:
Moreover, Silverberg describes the house design as a custom French chateau with smooth cut limestone on all interior walls. He says the home will be fully automated with savant (luxury smart home technology) automation.
“Everything from home security, to HVAC and lighting controls, as well as drapery controls will be fully automated,” says Silverberg, whose awards include Best Townhouse Design from The Toronto Home Builders’ Association (BILD) as well as Best Model Home Design from The Ontario Home Builders’ Association.
“With utility costs soaring these days, energy efficiency is very important,” he adds. “This house, with its state-of-the-art designs and efficiencies, is part of the wave of the future in the building industry in Canada.”
