Greg Hardwick:

At HardwickGC, we do not really follow trends, because each home we build is completely customized to the homeowner’s specifications. We start over with every home, based on what that homeowner wants in the design, the interior amenities, and specifications. However, I have been able to identify some new things that many people seem to be looking for in 2021. Three things that are really surging this year are home automation, dedicated spaces and resort living.

Home Automation

The first is home automation, and that is something we are doing in almost every new home right now. We are also building home automation retrofits into some of our more extensive renovation pro...

The River House

Nestled on the shore of the St. Johns River there is a magnificent custom pool home that was envisioned by Homeowner Stuart Kirban. What started as an interior remodel shifted to more of a whole-house rebuild/restoration after weighing the opportunities to start over with a completely new interior floorplan versus conceding to design conflicts the existing layout presented.


Stuart assembled a very talented Design and Construction team that produce a highly regarded final product. The project went on to earn recognition by the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD)with a 2020 Grand ARDA (American Residential Design Award). The home also was recognized at the Southeast B...
