What They Asked For vs. What They Got

One of the most rewarding parts of building custom homes is seeing how our clients’ visions evolve — and often improve — through the process.

At Integra Builders, we work closely with homeowners to turn their initial ideas into something even better, balancing dreams with real-world needs.

The Request: An Open Floor Plan with a Formal Dining Room

Our client originally wanted a completely open-concept main floor but also requested a formal dining room separated by walls.

The Result: Flexible Spaces that Flow

After discussing lifestyle habits and entertaining style, we designed a space with a semi-open dining area separated by wide sliding barn doors. This solution allows the room to be open or closed off as needed, maximizing usability.

Why It Worked

  • Flexibility: The dining space adapts to both everyday meals and special occasions.
  • Natural light: The semi-open design keeps light flowing throughout the main floor.
  • Client satisfaction: The homeowner was thrilled with the blend of openness and privacy.
