     Unlike any other Downtown Community, Solara Lofts has taken on a personality that inspires creativity and function.  The advantage of personalizing a floorplan to accommodate a lifestyle need has allowed homeowners to create the perfect home.   The following is a photo collage detailing some of the unique transformations that have been created:

This is a dramatic entry personified. With custom light boxes to accent beautiful etched glass artwork.

This is an example of a Flex Loft with a custom “pony wall” to separate live space from bedroom space. A great solution for those who like room separation, but want to maintain the open feel. 

Another view of the flex loft designed with a pony wall and custom closet. 

Style meets function. This is an example of a loft home which glass partition walls were added for privacy and room separation. For added privacy, a framed glass transom was added. The transom was designed with clear glass to allow for maximum light, accentuating beautiful custom lighting. 

Another example of the frosted sliding panel system with a clear glass transom. Art + Function. 

This is one of our most recent custom modifications, where the homeowner wanted a en-suite door to the master bedroom to be added to the guest bedroom. The homeowner also came up with a very functional design modification for the sink, which allowed for more usable counter space, with beautifully appointed fixtures. 

This is an example where a glass transom will be added to add natural light, to an otherwise dark bedroom. This is an example of a complete transformation of a loft to a traditional 2 bedroom type floorplan. 

This is an example of a studio loft that the home owner had us redesign to better accommodate the use of space. We added the wall with the open transom to allow light transfer. The wall shown has dual purpose: It divides the home space from the bedroom sleeping area, creating more privacy. Secondly, the wall provides the function of added closet space. By removing the original closet & adding the closet shown above and below, we actually created a more efficient use of the space. 

This is the reverse view of the closet, with usable storage space on top. 

In this example, the buyer required more closet space. To match the buyers elegant taste, a combination of contemporary sliding glass panels and mirrored panels were added. This allowed the use of the space to be maximized, accented with a modern elegance to compliment the design theme. 

This is the perfect example of overcoming the home buyers objection to not enough counter space. Originally this floorplan featured a space saving galley kitchen, but the buyer cooks and entertains guests frequently, so we designed a custom island return with lots of counter space, seating room and even a built in wine cooler!

We encourage you to stop by the sales studio to preview the remaining  homes available at Solara Lofts.  There are only 19 more homes available, which limits your opportunity for a fully customizable loft home.

Schedule an appointment with one of our sales agents to see all of the floorplan and custom design options.  We look forward to creating the perfect home for you!

By a vote of 35 to 1, the CBIA-sponsored bill to deliver 4,200 more tax credits to buyers of new homes, was approved by the state Senate today. 

 The surplus funding is a result of the actual cost of the tax credit being less than the original $100 million authorized for the program.  What this means to potential home buyers at Solara Lofts is that you can take advantage of the State $10,000 Tax Credit extension, but…

 THIS IS FIRST COME-FIRST SERVED ON A VERY LIMITED BASIS.

WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME BACK IN TO EXPLORE ALL OF THE NEW HOME OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.  Don’t wait, as we anticipate the remaining applications to surge quickly once the Assembly votes for final approval!!!
