Custom Homes with Extraordinary Kitchen Designs

Getting a custom home means getting everything you need. Trying to find a home that already exists and is perfectly suited to your needs is nearly impossible. Having one built just for you means no concessions. That includes any unusual preferences you may have. For many people, unusual preferences come in the form of extraordinary kitchen designs. Here are some ways you can break the mold with your custom kitchen designs.

Baker’s Kitchen

Of course, the people who enjoy an unusual home kitchen are usually those who use the kitchen a lot. If you love baking and are living in a standard suburban home, you’re not living your best life. A baker needs so much more than a standard kitchen offers. With a custom home from Heidan Construction, you could have a baker’s kitchen, made with your needs in mind.

Custom kitchen designs for bakers could include multiple, stacked ovens. This would allow you plenty of space for baking many things at once. That means zooming through batches of cookies at a speed a normal kitchen could never compete with.

Additionally, a baker’s kitchen would highly benefit from having built-in cooling racks. If you’re baking cookies four batches at a time, you’re going to run out of counter space for cooling pans really quickly. A built in cooling rack would mean having a frame where you could slide hot pans while their contents cool down after baking.

These two features are only scratching the surface of what you could include in a kitchen made just for baking.

Professional Kitchen

On the other side of the same coin, we’ve got people who love cooking. If you spend your evenings jotting down recipes from The Food Network and then improving upon them in your home kitchen, a standard kitchen isn’t enough. Whether you work as a professional chef or just delight in hobby cooking, your kitchen should be outfitted to handle storing lots of equipment and needing endless counter space for prep work.

Custom kitchen designs for those who cook a lot could include double stovetops with room for plenty of pots and pans to heat at once. Lots of appliance storage space is a must. A lot of specific cooking appliances end up gathering dust in the average household. However, if you enthuse in cooking and find yourself using these all the time, you need a place to store them where they won’t infringe on pantry space.

And, if you enjoy new technology, you might even like an extensive smart fridge – or two. These fridges help you track what items you have available, what needs to be replaced, and more.

Unusual Shapes and Colors

When it comes to extraordinary custom kitchen designs, the practical design is one thing, but the visual design is another. Don’t limit yourself to standards like stainless steel, cut stone, and white, high gloss cabinetry. You can do whatever you want! If you enjoy bright colors or boldly shaped fixtures, you can have that. Whatever you imagine when you think of your dream kitchen, you can have it, unusual shapes and colors included.

Our team of expert design builders at Heidan Construction are happy to help you finalize a kitchen design full of unique and interesting features. Let’s work together to make the kitchen the focal point of your new custom home design.

Toronto Borders the US

Finally, in addition to the commercial success one can attain right here in Toronto, you can also branch out into the US. Because Toronto borders the US, it’s the perfect location for businesses that plan to ship or expand past the border.

Additionally, Toronto takes in a lot of American tourists. That means businesses which offer tourist goods can gain a lot of traction. On the flip side, you can also meet success with American customers by offering American goods. There are many American goods that can’t typically be found on this side of the border. Providing these comforts can gain you a lot of brand loyalty through tourists and those living in Toronto on visa.

Build Luxury Office Spaces for Rent in Toronto

Tons of people are looking for office spaces to rent for their businesses. While many of us think of office buildings as large monoliths, owned by large, successful companies, those are the exception. More often than not, office buildings are a huge conglomeration of small businesses sharing space with each other. If you want a successful business investment, creating luxury offices spaces for others to rent is a surefire answer to your prayers.

Individual Offices

A demographic that is often overlooked are the individual office workers. Most companies start with just one or two people. If someone’s home isn’t big enough to accommodate their business needs, or two people need a common space to meet and work together, renting a single office is a great solution.

Individual offices may be no bigger than the average bedroom. One might range from 70SqFt to 250. That means you can have a whole lot of them in one office building. Plus, because they don’t require all of the amenities a residential living space needs, they’re cheaper to upkeep. Bathrooms can be shared between different offices and no kitchen is required. Cheaper upkeep means more profit and less maintenance than apartments.

Small Company Spaces

As with all things, variety improves success. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket and all that. Therefore, in addition to individual offices, small company spaces are a great next step. A small company space would likely include one large, shared space for cooperative work along with a couple of attached rooms for private office space. Small company spaces could also have their own private bathroom. This type of space is perfect for a new, budding company with a handful of members and a steady flow of work. These are high demand spaces. 

It’s recommended that you allow these luxury office spaces to be rented for short terms as well as longer terms. Leasing an office for a year is great. However, making them available to people for a few days or weeks means the additional avenue of reaching project groups. If a few people from a large company are on a project together, but need more than their individual cubicles to get it done, they can get some additional workspace from a third party rental like your own.

Floor Rentals

Next up, we have whole floor rentals. Medium-sized companies need a place as well. Buying or renting an entire, individual building for a medium-sized company is not always in the budget. This is especially true of companies based in cities like Toronto, where real estate is competitive.

Depending on how large your building’s footprint is, a whole floor could be big enough to accommodate anywhere from 20 to 200 people. These types of tenants are typically long-term, stable renters. Floor rentals will be your bread and butter as an office rental owner.

Get Started

If this is sounding like a fantastic use of your savings, you’re absolutely right. This is an investment in your future that will pay you back generously. Call us at Heidan Construction if you’re ready to take the next step on luxury office spaces design. We offer some of the best service and design capabilities in the Toronto construction industry. Let us put it to work for you.

Luxury office design seeks to reinvent the interior design of an office and implement modern technology. Luxury business headquarters should feel open, tall, and powerful. It should implement all modern conveniences in technology.

  • Integrated, company-wide server

Personalized Functionality

Every company is different. Depending on what type of company you are, you may have unique needs in terms of functionality. We incorporate those into the building design. In your luxury business headquarters, you shouldn’t feel like you’ve moved into just any building. You should feel as if the building was made for you – because it is.

Personalized functionality can look like:

  • Custom shelving that facilitates unique product or material storage
  • Freshly designed furniture made to accommodate your company’s day-to-day activity
  • Additional luxuries that aid in the running of your company, even if they’re not found in the average office space

Ingrained Branding

Your brand is vital to the success of, well, your brand. Incorporating branding throughout your luxury business headquarters is very important to us. Everywhere you go in your office, there should be hints of your company lingering. Colors are a great example of this. If your company is branded with certain colors, those should be present in all parts of the office, in ways that are both subtle and eye catching.

Can a Doctor’s Office Have Smart Technology?

As the world moves forward in its technological advancement, people, buildings, and businesses that don’t adapt fall behind. That begs the question, can somewhere like a doctor’s office have smart technology? Let’s find the answer.

Smart Technology’s Purpose

Smart technology has been advancing at breakneck speed. While, once, these types of software may have struggled to fulfill their intended purpose, programs are continually getting better at doing what we need them to. In a smarthome, there’s technology integrated to ease the day-to-day lives and organization of its occupants. The same can be said for many types of business offices. However, can you put this type of technology into a doctor’s office to make treating patients easier?

Complying with Patient Confidentiality

Patient confidentiality is where things get sticky with smart technology. Because most smart technology is made by big companies that love collecting data and selling it to the highest bidder, much of it would be off-limits to a doctor’s office. A smart intercom that makes communicating with the kids on the second floor of your house would be a huge breach of privacy if placed in a doctor’s office. Any information given during an appointment could be recorded and parsed by an AI, then sold.

Smart Technology in a Doctor’s Office

However, this pitfall belongs solely to the most popular smart technology. There are applications and programs made specifically for places that require discretion and confidentiality. Many of them are especially for doctors’ offices.

One such example is an automated note-taking software. After getting your patient’s permission, you can activate this software and allow it to take notes for you. The software will use the mic on your office laptop or tablet and jot down the important parts of your patient’s statements for you. This allows you to focus more on listening than on typing – which is important for building a relationship with your patient. 

There’s nothing worse than going to your doctor with a problem only for them to spend all their time staring at the computer and typing. They may be putting down what you’re saying word for word, but it feels like they’re not really there. Automated note-taking allows you to be fully present and engage with your patient without worrying about putting it all down on ‘paper.’

Luxury Doctor’s Office Design

Your doctor’s office may be limited in what smart technology it can implement. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have luxury. There’s plenty more to a luxury medical office design than just fancy intercoms and voice-controlled music. Give us a call at Heidan Construction if you’re looking to remodel or build a new medical office. We look forward to updating your workspace so that you feel like you’re working from 2022 instead of 2000.

3 Great Features of Custom Houses That No One Talks About

When talking about custom homes, people tend to focus on things like appearance and technology. Does your home have the latest in smart-fridge appliances? Do you have heated floors? Well, maybe you do. However, there are 3 really great features of custom houses that go unpraised by the average architecture enthusiast. Heidan Construction is intimately familiar with what makes a custom home great, so we’re here to share.

Custom Floorplan

The first thing may seem obvious but, to many, it isn’t. People get so focused on having the flooring or paint color they want that they forget about the floorplan. All of those little things that get on your nerves in the average house can be completely done away with. 

Tired of your toilet being crammed between the tub and sink? Give your bathroom lots of free space and a comfortable margin around the toilet. Is it your pet peeve waking up to sunlight in your eyes? It’s within your power to put your bedroom window on the north wall! Like your kitchen in the front of the house but don’t want the entry to go directly into it? You can position everything exactly how you like it so that, when you come home, you feel truly at home.

Made with a Purpose

If you enjoy planning with detail, you probably have ideas about your custom home design and exactly how it will look. When you plan each room down to where the furniture goes, you can design the actual house to fit each purpose exactly. This is one of the most convenient features of custom houses.

If you plan on having an office space, if you know where your desk is going, you can put your light fixture right overhead. Know how you want your living room arranged? Position your fireplace, light fixtures, or built-in entertainment center right where you need it. You can say goodbye to adapting to houses that weren’t made for you. Instead, unload your moving van and put everything right where it goes. When each area of your home is made with a purpose, you can plan it right down to crafting an alcove for that one decoration you never have a spot for. It all fits like a glove.

The Perfect Fit

Speaking of the perfect fit, one of the features of custom houses means building exactly the amount of space you need. For growing families, you may have to make some guesses regarding future needs. However, if you’re done having kids, or don’t intend to have any to begin with, you won’t need to do much guessing.

You can put in exactly as many bedrooms as you need. Or, you can put in exactly as many rooms as you need for your various hobbies. Therefore, if you’ve got family that likes to visit, you know you need a guest room. Your art studio can be designed to accommodate exactly the supplies and equipment you have or plan to buy. All of those spaces you’ve found yourself dreaming of having for yourself will be right there. You won’t have to constantly think about expanding rooms or moving to a bigger home that has something closer to what you need. You’ll have exactly what you’re after.

If you’re ready to stop moving and settle down somewhere that checks off all the boxes, call us at Heidan Construction. We’re ready to help make your dream home a reality.
