How do I decide whether I want an Acorn Home, Deck House, or dwell home by Empyrean?
Each of these three distinctive architectural styles features open plans, walls of glass and soaring volume spaces, and each can be custom designed for you and your site.
The Acorn Home is a modified post and beam house with most of the structure unexposed. The style features expansive walls of Pella windows, steep roofs, and traditional interior trim themes. Usually, the inside surfaces in an Acorn Home are painted for a fresh, sparkling look. Acorn Home exteriors draw on the best of American architectural traditions, updated with superb contemporary detailing.
The Deck House features post and beam construction with exposed Douglas fir beams, wooden ceiling, and mahogany windows and trim. The overall effect is a very sophisticated natural environment. The gently sloping roofs of the Deck House feature large overhangs that often give the house a Prairie or Craftsman style appearance.
The dwell home by Empyrean is based on the Deck House model, but with a more modernist interpretation. Dominated by clean lines and hard edges, the dwell home by Empyrean provides a sophisticated, urban approach to the post and beam design.

Can I customize my home design?
Absolutely! Each Acorn Home, Deck House, or dwell home by Empyrean is custom designed and built according to the your specifications. Using our architect or yours, we can draw on archived Empyrean building systems, plans, photos or simply your wish list as a starting point. From there, your own tastes, lifestyle requirements, and site characteristics will shape the final look and layout of your new home.

Do you build additions for non Empyrean brand homes?
Most of our additions are designed for the Acorn Home, Deck House, or dwell home by Empyrean projects we have built. However, we have done additions for non-Empyrean homes when the addition is essentially free standing, connected “lightly” to the original house, and does not rely structurally on the main building in any way.
