Durbin Residence in Virginia
Custom Home
“After a career of global living, my goal was to create a modern house that integrated seamlessly with its surroundings and flowed unimpeded internally. Truoba helped bring this goal to life. Every room is light filled by the large window sets and sliders that erase the boundary with the outside giving unparalleled views of the mountains and stars. The modified longhouse floorplan is connected by a glass tunnel and winter garden area to create an effortless flow from end to end with the central house perfectly accommodating the no-hardware, Euro-contemporary/modern kitchen. Unobtrusive pocket doors allow for privacy when desired. The black scissor trusses and black window frames are a subtle complement to the black vertical siding giving the feeling of being enwrapped by the house. Everyone is kept comfortable through high efficiency windows and heat pumps/radiant floor heat as well as the use of foam insulation in all exterior walls/ceilings. It is simply a joy to live in and be part of this modern, flowing house.”

“I’m so happy with my home! I’m grateful to have found my Truoba house plan and the ability to customize it to perfectly fit my needs. My plan is only about 1,200 square feet but “lives” much larger – it’s cozy for a small group but easily accommodates a gathering of 15+ people without feeling too tight. My lot has gorgeous forest views in all directions that are enjoyed from the large windows in every room. Some of my favorite features of the house include the openness of the great room (it includes the kitchen, dining, and living room spaces all under a tall ceiling) and the oversized covered porch… I enjoy this outdoor space nearly year-round with my friends & family, even in the colder Michigan seasons with the help of the indoor/outdoor fireplace. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment & great memories in this awesome house!”

“We’re building a house and working with Truoba has been one of the highlights of the entire experience. That’s no exaggeration….. My wife and I recently decided to look at the possibility of buying a house on acreage. So instead of buying a house we decided to buy a 5-acre lot and build on it. Once you’ve made that decision you’ve also made a decision to make everything perfect and just the way you want it. That decision also presents the challenge of finding people to work with that will listen to what you want, will care about what you’re building and NOT just go through the motions. We definitely found that to be the case with Truoba. They took all of our input and fashioned into what we ultimately came up with and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Even after the plans were delivered, the few revisions that were requested from the engineer were made and returned back to us the very next day. I’ll simply say this: I’ve remodeled houses before and have that experience to fall back on. During this construction process we’ve dealt with a lot of different people and vendors and to date the experience I’ve had with Truoba is by far one of the highlights. I couldn’t possibly express in this paragraph how highly I would recommend them.”

“Building a custom home is a huge undertaking, but working with Truoba made it exciting and fun. I was instantly drawn to Truoba’s architectural style. I loved the modern look and appreciated the warm and functional designs. I particularly liked that the homes felt fresh and not cookie-cutter. Ignas internalized our wish list and was very responsive to our requests for changes. We truly got the home of our dreams. We wanted a home in which we could age in place, where we could entertain and socialize, but with separate areas. Our main living is all on one floor – there are no stairs to the entrance, doors are wide, and we have zero entry showers. A foyer gives separation and privacy and a mudroom is accessible from the garage and primary bedroom, making laundry and organization a breeze. Downstairs we have a guest suite, complete with living area, patio, bathroom and bedroom. The house flows well and is beautiful but cozy. We wake up every morning and can’t believe how lucky we are to live in this home.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Truoba on our modern cabin in the Maine lakes region. Truoba architects were not only nice and responsive, but also incredibly accommodating with customizations to the design. They took our ideas and turned them into a stunning cozy cabin that exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and clear communication made the entire process seamless and stress-free. This vacation home is my families new happy place, and our Airbnb guests consistently compliment the design, which speaks to Truoba’s exceptional talent and dedication. We highly recommend Truoba to anyone looking for an architect who will bring their modern home dreams to life!”

“As a couple, we decided when our child was grown, we were moving to the woods and building our forever home. After 15 years of living in a subdivision sea of cookie-cutter homes, we knew we wanted something “different” with a warm, but modern and an artistic flair. That brought us to Truoba. We immediately loved every design. It was quite difficult to choose! After finding a beautiful piece of biodiverse land, we were excited to start the process. Truoba was a delight to work with right from the beginning. The land we chose backed up to the river with a rear slope, allowing us to pivot and add a nice basement with high ceilings. Though we purchased the design without the basement, it was very easy to alter and customize to our need. We can’t say enough about Truoba and their team. You won’t be disappointed in your experience, I promise.”
