When designing your custom home, one of the most overlooked—but most transformative—features is natural light. At Clark Builders, we believe that every home should not only reflect your personal style but also enhance it through thoughtful architectural planning, starting with how the sunlight enters your space.
In every custom home we build, large windows are a cornerstone of our design approach. Whether it’s a floor-to-ceiling feature in the living room or panoramic windows in a kitchen nook, natural light does more than illuminate; it elevates your home’s natural beauty. Dark, Dingy basement vibes are not our thing; if a window is an option, we want it there, and we want it to enhance the space.
Natural lighting highlights your home’s textures, colors, and finishes, making each room feel more open, warm, and welcoming.
Our team goes beyond exterior design—we strategically position each home on your lot to optimize the light throughout the day. This isn’t just good design, we want the best views from each and every window. With Iowa’s changing seasons and varying light angles, we account for sunrise, sunset, shade patterns, and more to ensure your home always feels bright and balanced, year-round.
Whether your property is in the country, the woods, overlooking a lake or right here in town in Ames, we customize every detail to your land and your viewpoints. Often times we love our homes for their “location. location. location” right? so we want to be sure to focus on exactly why you fell in love with this piece of property in the first place.
Energy Efficiency: Less need for artificial lighting = lower utility bills.
Health & Wellness: Exposure to natural light improves mood and sleep.
Aesthetic Appeal: Highlights wood finishes, paint tones, and architectural details.
Indoor-Outdoor Connection: Seamlessly blends your home with the Iowa landscape.
If you’re planning to build a custom home in the central Iowa area, don’t underestimate the power of natural light. At Clark Builders, we design homes that are not only beautiful but brilliantly lit by nature itself.
