Walls of Time - Designing Custom Homes for Today and for Years to Come
Steve Sirianni, owner and principal of Walls of Time Builders in Ashland, Oregon, has been designing and building exquisite custom homes for over 25 years, drawing on a lifetime of hands-on experience to craft what he calls “not just structures, but living environments.”
“I feel privileged to help people create dwellings that are not only beautiful, but healthy, environmentally responsible, energy efficient, and built to endure the test of time,” he says.
“With honesty, integrity and beauty as my guidelines, I offer a holistic, intuitive approach to design, and a sustainable model for materials used, resulting in a finished product that feeds this generation and sustains the next.”
Contemporary and Timeless Architectural Style
Sirianni characterizes The Walls of Time architectural style as “both contemporary and timeless. Virtually every distinct style of building has its strong points, visually and functionally. When I work with a client, I take great care to find the combination of art and function that successfully gives the client a home that is deeply satisfying — for today and for years to come.”
Rather than serving up a cookie-cutter list of options for style, layout and materials, Sirianni says “I look at each project as the last one I will ever do, so it is the most important one I will ever do.”
Innovative and Efficient Building Materials and Systems
Walls of Time is also keyed in to the most innovative and efficient building materials and systems available in the country. Sirianni’s current custom home building projects use Faswall (ICF blocks), a wall material of woodchip-concrete composite blocks made in Oregon.
Faswall (ICF blocks) is a non-toxic, breathable wall system that is impervious to mold and provides exceptionally stable indoor temperatures and great sound insulation. All of the materials and processes he builds into his designs are similarly innovative and sustainable, for a finished custom home that will stand the test of time.
Walls of Time - A Collaborative Design Process
“Creating a custom home is a unique opportunity to turn our beliefs about how we should live into the very real foundation and walls of the place we call home,” Sirianni says. “Walls of Time offers a collaborative design process that combines experience, creativity, clear communication, artistry and integrity for inspired homes that reflect the visions and values of the people we work with.”
