building industry was at its peak. “It was controlled
chaos,” he says. “We were delivering eight
homes a month in the subdivision I was overseeing,
and it seemed very normal to work at that
kind of pace. Even though it was a little stressful,
I must say it was a phenomenal experience. To be
able to have hands-on experience with that many
homes was priceless.”
In 2004, Dill returned to the family business,
turning “farmlands into subdivisions” and taking
the helm of the company that specialized in
dazzling details at affordable prices. “We found
it very important to include details such as archways
or fireplace mantels seldom seen in more
affordable home plans,” says Dill. “I have always
looked for ways to have fun with architecture.
Creatively, I am always looking for ways to push
the envelope and to create something a little bit
different.”
In terms of their quite unique client base, Dill says
that getting to know one another before any hole is
dug is key to building an appropriate home. “I want
to know how they plan to utilize the home, whether
that is in terms of entertaining needs or how many
children they plan to have,” he says. “In turning
vision into a livable reality, I actively pursue creativity
and artistry, inspiring my team of architects
and skilled craftsmen to fashion homes that are as
distinctive as they are sustainable. A home, after all,
is far more than bricks and mortar, woodwork and
walls; it is a personal reflection of those who live
inside, a collection of memories and history.”
