In 2021, Redknot Homes began construction on a custom model home, later named the Equinox, on homesite 18 in Parkside Estates. The sleek, modern design was so appealing that an eager buyer swooped in halfway through construction!

Design Inspiration
We chose a contrasting, dramatic color scheme for the majority of the finishes. The exterior of the home is darker, but there is a noticeable difference when you enter the open, contemporary interior. Our inspiration for naming the home the Equinox was the contrast between dark and light. The goal was to design a sleek and modern home that didn’t feel sterile. The warmer wood tones of the floors, built-ins, oven hood, vanities, and other elements balance out the stark contrast between the dark and light tile and countertop choices.
Unique Custom Features
The full-length textured umbrella-shaped tile that extends up the wall of the powder room is one of the most unique features of this home, and one of our favorites. The powder room is a small space, but it’s one that most guests will use during their visit, so why not make a statement with it?
The backsplash is another one of our favorite features located in the kitchen. The vertical stacking and various gray shades add a distinctive, modern dimension to the kitchen.
The floating vanities and wall-mounted faucets in the Owner’s Suite bathroom also contribute to the home’s modern design. The dual-purpose shower seat/bathtub ledge is an eye-catching and functional design element. For variety and playfulness, we used a mix of metals such as brass with black finishes throughout the house.
