Nuovo Tuscan Elegance
Prestigious Los Altos Hills Location, Stunning Tuscan exterior detailing and incredible "curb appeal".






At Custom Dreams, when we build "green," what we really do is build "high-performance" luxury custom homes and estates. Each of our developments integrates time-proven and cutting-edge systems that promote healthier indoor and outdoor environments, ensure greater energy and resource efficiency, and reduce maintenance and operating costs.

We take pride in the fact that the overall benefits to our clients far exceed the marginal cost of these forward-thinking features. We make sure that comprehensive environmentally sound development practices are incorporated across every phase of the process. Following are some of the sustainable development practices that are implemented across our projects:

  • Onsite concrete and paint washouts
  • Salvaged and recycled material from demolition
  • Stringent waste management controls throughout construction
  • Re-used framing wood & engineered lumber
  • Fly ash in concrete & recycled aggregate in non-structural concrete
  • Complete photovoltaic and solar water heating systems
  • Next generation blow-in insulation with environmentally-friendly materials
  • High-efficiency appliances, HVAC, and lighting equipment
  • Heat recovery equipment, on-demand hot water circulation pumps
  • Native planting and efficient irrigation systems
  • High performance, ultra low-emittance windows
  • Home-wide radiant heating systems
  • Low/no-VOC and formaldehyde-free paint, stains, and adhesives
  • Emergency battery backup in place of generators
  • Extensive high-efficiency lamps and lighting fixtures
  • Power management via home automation software
We are committed to meeting your goals and have developed a deep network of consultants and sub-contractors that can address any scope of sustainable development. Let us help you meet your sustainable development objectives.

We invite you to call us for an in-depth look at how we can create lasting value for your real estate portfolio - and for our environment.
