The Boursier Abode

The latest sustainable home built by Everlasting Homes, designed by Madelyn Kilkenny. This modern transitional home is built using the most fire and earthquake resistant technology introduced to residential construction. Utilizing SCIP (Structural Concrete Insulated Panels) this home is built fully out of concrete and is extremely energy efficient. The design plan for this contemporary home embodies a seamless integration of modern elegance and inviting warmth. The exterior showcases a striking interplay of textures, where wood-look concrete “siding” meets smooth stucco, complemented by expansive windows.

Inside, the layout flows effortlessly, promoting a sense of continuity among living areas. The kitchen becomes a central hub, featuring an inviting island dressed in warm-hued stone with a connected breakfast table, harmonizing with custom cabinetry that balances richness with modern accents. Luxury panel-ready appliances and a hidden pantry entrance maintains the kitchen’s modern aesthetic. This space is designed for both culinary creativity and social gatherings, fostering connection among family and friends.

The living room is anchored by a simple yet luxurious fireplace, its smooth porcelain facade adding a touch of sophistication and warmth. Venetian plaster walls add dimension. Large sliding glass doors dissolve boundaries between the indoor and outdoor realms, creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and entertaining. The backlit onyx wine room and open concept dining area allows for social functionality.

Hardwood flooring throughout grounds the shared areas and bedrooms alike, with herringbone accents in the foyer and primary suite to define spaces. Sleek and refined plumbing fixtures in mixed metals act as simple jewelry for the bathrooms and kitchen, while marbled stone is the perfect timeless backdrop. An overall color palette that is both warm and high contrast creates visual interest throughout.

Illumination plays a pivotal role in the design, with subtle recessed lighting and chic pendant fixtures that enhance the aesthetic without overpowering it. Overall, the design cultivates a warm, inviting ambiance that harmoniously blends contemporary style with timeless comfort, making it a perfect sanctuary for modern living.
