15 Jun 5280 Home Magazine Feature

We were thrilled to see our project land in 5280 Home magazine, and even more flattered to have it appear on the cover in the June/July 2022 issue. We’re so honored to showcase this stunning home, not only to share the craftsmanship and beauty of the final project, but also to be able to tell the story of the home build. At Ascent, our goal is to have the journey of the build be the first of many wonderful memories created in our clients’ homes. In this case, it was our distinct pleasure to work with Karli and Nils Erickson to bring their extraordinary vision to reality and help create their dream home.

When we caught up with Nils after the final punch list walk through, he talked about his experience working with the team at Ascent:  “It was important to us to be able to trust our contractor to have our best interest in mind as we were coming to collective decisions. We really enjoyed working with Ascent, it was a project of passion, on what we believe will be our ‘forever home’, so we were super appreciative of Justin and his thoroughness, his attention to detail. We felt very supported every step of the way in the process. The practical experience we had with the whole Ascent team was a true joy, it was wonderful to have the team be a part of our lives for the better part of a year. They were the kind of people that we liked having in our home. It was a joy to see progress on the home because we knew we would run into the guys and they were a big part of the positive experience. The gift they gave us through their craftsmanship and their attention to detail, we are experiencing and enjoying daily.”

This project was certainly a labor of love and it involved many twists and turns. The ability to continue to manage the project smoothly was due to the fact that the team behind the build was collaborative and forward-thinking. 5280 Home contributing writer Cheryl Meyers said it best, “Building a house to Tomecek Studio’s specifications is not for the faint of heart. Case in point: the home’s large custom windows, many with off-center peaks. ‘The frame of the house incorporates steel beams and columns in conjunction with wood trusses and stick-framed roof pieces that all surround floor-to-ceiling windows…all of these elements required extensive planning in order to ensure that items could be fabricated with precision and arrive on schedule.’”

We have a true passion for guiding our clients from the initial concept of their home to the completion. We are not looking to build a home where our clients simply endure the process of construction, we ensure families truly enjoy each step of the process. We know that looking back on the project fondly will add to the love story of the family matched with their forever home.
