Your home should be a reflection of you—your interests, habits, and the way you live day to day. Whether you’re an entertainer who loves hosting, an outdoor enthusiast who thrives in nature, or someone seeking a peaceful retreat, a custom-built home allows you to create spaces that cater specifically to your needs. Here’s how thoughtful home design can enhance your lifestyle and make everyday living more enjoyable.

Start with Location

Before considering the design of your home, it’s essential to think about where you’ll be living. Do you already own a lot, or are you planning to build on one of ours? Your surroundings should influence the layout and features of your home. In Bend, for example, if you love Shevlin Park and have chosen a lot nearby, it makes sense to incorporate elements that enhance your connection to the park—whether it’s easy access to trails, a bike-friendly garage, or an outdoor space that allows you to soak in the scenery.

Tailoring Your Home to Your Passions

Identifying your needs and wants is the first step in creating a home that truly serves you. Imagine you’re a biking family, like many Bend residents. You and your spouse ride, and your kids do too—so it’s important that your home accommodates this passion. A well-designed garage could include:

  • Dedicated bike storage – Wall mounts, ceiling lifts, or a separate area to keep bikes organized and out of the way of vehicles.
  • A maintenance station – A built-in workbench with tool storage, electrical outlets for charging e-bikes, and an air compressor to ensure your rides are always ready to go.
  • Durable, stylish finishes – An epoxy-coated floor for easy cleanup, custom trim and paint for a polished look.
  • Comfortable work environment – A gas heater to keep the space warm year-round and a utility sink for easy clean-up after tune-ups.
  • Added convenience – A built-in refrigerator for hydration and a wall-mounted screen to stream bike races or trail conditions while working on gear.

This is just one example of how Malace Homes can personalize a space to fit your lifestyle.
