Obsidian Homes was established with a clear mission: to refocus the residential homebuilding industry on the core principles that truly matter—Affordability, Craftsmanship, Honesty, and Quality. We believe that these four pillars should be the foundation of every home, rather than simply prioritizing profits.

The art and science of designing homes is a craft that I have acquired in my 20 years as an architect. I have designed homes and commercial buildings in four states. In the past year, I have built my business in Sylva, North Carolina. I have a small staff of 2 who help me with the day-to-day of the business. I dedicate myself to doing all the architectural work, coordinating other disciplines, and providing full-time attention to your project. I have managed the design and construction of mansions and I have also done remodels for family members where I know how expensive a building can be without a plan.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
