Five Roads of Design

17 April 2024

What makes a house­ feel like a home­? At PentaVia Custom Homes, we build every house by following our 5 Roads of Design which helps us create homes tailored to each family's unique personality. A home should be a place whe­re you feel safe­ and content, where you share­ intimate and friendly moments, and whe­re you make cherishe­d memories for a lifetime. The five­ roads of design guide us when building luxurious homes that truly fee­ls like yours. This approach not only enhances the aesthetic and functional aspects of your living space but also fosters deep sentimental value and memories to be experienced.

Road 1: The Physical Road


The physical road involves the actual structure of the house. PentaVia homes are designed and built to be safe, modern, secure, smart, and exceptionally livable. We use only the finest materials and work with reliable suppliers to make our homes symbols of architectural beauty and personal achievement. We prioritize utmost attention to detail and quality for exceptional results, creating timeless homes in the heart of Texas. Every single detail ranging from the physical location to the flooring and lighting is carefully detailed to match your needs. 


In the competitive real estate market of Westlake, Texas, PentaVia Custom Homes stands out for their quality and innovation. Indoor air quality systems that purify and sanitize the air within homes, enhancing inhabitants’ well-being the standard for PentaVia. Integrating smart home technology that can be easily upgraded or expanded to accommodate future advancements is important. This includes smart thermostats, lighting controls, and security systems that can be controlled remotely via smartphone or voice commands. Home automation systems like automated blinds, smart appliances, and voice-activated assistants can be included to streamline daily tasks and enhance convenience. Anything you imagine, we can bring to life. Moreover, our suggestions can add many useful features that might not even cross the homeowner’s mind. The thoroughness and creativity transcends conventional standards.


The houses' physical appearance is not the only factor that's considered while choosing their locations. A thorough market analysis is conducted to find the best spots to live in Texas that offer the best of both worlds: the tranquility of suburban life as well as the thrill of urban exploration via convenient access to shopping, education, restaurants, entertainment, and cultural attractions.


Road 2: The Emotional Road


The emotional road at PentaVia is paved with intention, designed to flow seamlessly with your life. From friendly gatherings to quiet Christmas mornings, our homes are carefully crafted to provide the perfect setting for creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.


We prioritize the emotional experience of your family living in the house. That's why our focus is on creating spaces that resonate with the rhythm of family life, from the layout and flow to the interior design and ambiance. Whether it's the natural sunlight streaming through the big windows of the ​​
Lux Hacienda or the elegant charm of the Modern Napa Farmhouse, every detail is thoughtfully curated to evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and belonging. Our focus is on the emotions you feel under the roof of PentaVia homes, rather than how others will feel about your home.


The PentaVia houses set the mood for the whole family. The room arrangement and the interior design have significant effects on the emotions we feel. Our designers carefully analyze each detail, color palette, and layout making sure they give off the best possible energy. 


A customized home should be timeless. Future-proofing is the practice of designing homes to meet the long-term needs and preferences of homeowners. It ensures that the home remains functional and relevant as the resident's age or lifestyle evolves. It is important to incorporate universal design principles to make homes accessible and usable for people of all ages and abilities.

Road 3: Intellectual Road


A home is more than a place to eat, sleep, and clean. Properly designed and appointed, it is a fertile ground for intellectual development. With PentaVia, you have the chance to dedicate as much space to your hobbies and interests as you want. Your home should be the place that will stimulate your creativity. With added special features or special rooms dedicated to sports, crafts, and performance we can handcraft homes that stimulate the mind and the body. 


Custom homes offer the freedom to get creative and let your personality shine through design solutions, and our dedicated team is here to guide the process and make the experience less overwhelming. Many of our customers highlight working with the team as the best part of the experience.


“PentaVia built our home in Westlake, TX. Moving from New York to Texas was a daunting concept for my family, but meeting Curt and his team made all the difference. We felt at home even before our home was built. They were with us through the entire process. They cared about who we were, what we wanted, and how challenging building a home in a new State during a pandemic might be.”

Road 4: Social Road


In an era dominated by digital distractions, the social road emphasizes the importance of human connection and genuine interaction. At PentaVia, we recognize the value of shared experiences and meaningful relationships, designing homes that foster communication, collaboration, and camaraderie.

Consider the layout of our living spaces, strategically designed to facilitate conversation and interaction, rather than isolating individuals in front of screens. From inviting dining areas that encourage lively mealtime discussions to cozy lounges ideal for intimate gatherings, every aspect of our homes is crafted with social interaction in mind.


Road 5: Personal Road


Finally, PentaVia offers personalization to a new extent by incorporating technology with creative solutions. Your personality, values, and lifestyle will be visible in every corner of the house being special displays for your priced collections, special ventilation to remove cigar smoke, or pet-friendly zones. 


“Some would say, you don’t just live in a PentaVia custom home, it is an extension of your values and priorities, and empowers you to live the way you've always dreamed of living.”


Curt Dubose, the CEO of PentaVia Custom Homes
