When you see a sunset, how do you feel?  Close to nature?  Content?  Comfortable?  At , we design homes that encompass these feelings.  Plus a Shukka® home is distinctively your own. 

The foundation of our approach in designing homes is the Shukka® Philosophy.  To be clear, we didn't invent Shukka®, we simply noticed it and now apply it to the designs we create.   You will see that form follows function in a Shukka® home, time and space are saved wherever possible, and creative healing spaces are distinguishable for each and every space

The following qualities are essential to improving the function and crafting the aesthetics of your home:

Continuity
The interior and exterior of your home compliment and reflect each other throughout the design.Shukka® designs from the inside out, creating continuity between these two often disjointed elements. This is paramount for interior functional space flow that conforms to the exterior design and is as important to the design as the foundation is to the stability of your finished home.

Typically used by family members, the Mudroom Entrance sets the stage for organization in your home.  This entry should contain ample storage and drop off spots for easier entry and exit.  It features items such as built-in lockersfor children's backpacks and a mitten dryer for winter wear.  Whatever your needs, Shukka® design will keep your Mudroom, and ultimately your whole home, clutter and maintenance free.

Merging
Moving between rooms is as important as the rooms themselves. With Shukka®, the amount of space needed to move between rooms is kept to a minimum and incorporated into the rooms whenever possible. Shukka® virtually eliminates the need for hallways. When hallways are required, Shukka® uses natural light or borrowed light from adjacent rooms to create an open space feeling.

Connection
The staircase has the potential to exemplify your home's design with extraordinary character.  It can also beautifully connect your living spaces as well as provide its own seating area or storage solutions.  Shukka® incorporates ergonomics into your staircase by decreasing the riser height and by increasing the tread width and depth to save you energy and to make each trip flowing and pleasurable.

Nourishment
Time with our families and friends is precious.  To encourage interaction with your family and friends, Shukka® opens up the public spaces in your home-your Kitchen, Living Room, and Dining Room.  This allows you to converse with others without being confined to one area and at the same time forms comfortable niches creating intimate spaces between the open interconnected areas.

Serene Solitude
In a Shukka® home, interaction with others is balanced with an individual's need for quiet private space.  A smaller room with a lowered ceiling, within/near a child's room or under a stair, encourages solitary play or space to get away from siblings.

Time and Comfort
In Shukka® , ergonomics are applied throughout your home to bring comfort to your daily life. From the Kitchen to the Dressing Room, Shukka® will improve the function of your home and enhance your life in ways you never knew were possible.

An off-limits room within or near the Master Suite encourages valuable time alone or together for couples.

A Shukka® Dressing Room is more than a closet.  It eliminates an enormous amount of steps and work each day.  The Shukka® Dressing Room combines your clothing and dressing functions.  No more running back and forth from closet to dressers in the Bedroom or out to a Laundry Room.  Open shelving makes for easy retrieval of clothing without opening/closing drawers and doors. 

Enlightenment
Whenever possible Shukka® creates light from all four sides of a room-even if only one window is used-to energize you and your home.  Light floods in from both the windows to the outside and from the "borrowed light" between rooms. 

Flexibility
Planning for future needs, as well as for your needs today, is part of the customization of your home.  Elements like "Chameleon Rooms," that are designed to transform from one function into a completely different function as your needs change or your family expands or contracts, epitomize the flexibility in your Shukka® home.   Timeless design, together with a functional Shukka® space plan, also allows future owners to change features to suit their needs should you ever decide to move.
