Design costs are generally calculated as a flat rate and based on the size of the project.

Frame/stucco is the most cost effective means of construction.

Of course, details are the primary component that can add to the bottom line costs.

Radiant heating coils are covered by concrete, then with tile or
carpet. This type of warm floor heat is controled in multi-zoned thermostats.This type of of heating system is typical in Sunsmiths homes. You can have a warm Masterbath and a cool Master Bedroom.

The living room has a high, vaulted ceiling with large walls that have been decorated with a collection of masks from around the world.

The wood details such as the exposed beam and corbel shown, are common in all Sunsmiths homes.

As in almost all Sunsmiths designs, the front entry is a solar collector, air lock and a great plant room.

A steep roof line and tall windows, helped by a courtyard wall and gate, make this type of architecture true to the area.
