Couture Homes’ Lifestyle Collection™ Dazzles Luxury Home Clients in the Palm Beaches

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Couture Homes announced today that it has recently completed three custom homes from its Lifestyle Collection™ and sold an additional four Lifestyle Collection Homes in Old Palm Golf Club (www.OldPalmGolfClub.com), with a total value of more than $22.5 million. Couture Homes has quickly become one of Palm Beach County’s leading custom builders of luxury homes, thriving even in the down housing market by reinventing every facet of the custom building process. At the core of Couture’s unique approach to designing and building homes is its proprietary Lifestyle Discovery Process™, which is based on ethnographic research methods that discover the client’s lifestyle and guides the home-design process.

“Couture’s Lifestyle Discovery Process™ is actually a multi-dimensional experience, where we meet with the client and work our way through an extensive set of proprietary conversations”

“Our Lifestyle Discovery Process™ which was developed with some of the nation’s leading business ethnographers, allows us to see beyond our own preconceptions and immerse ourselves into the client’s life story,” explained Todd Ullom, a Couture co-founder. “Many times, what we find out even surprises our clients, as we collaborate to envision their luxury home. This ‘contextual-based’ research is key to uncovering our clients’ individual lifestyle needs, wants, and desires, while establishing priorities, color preferences, and design parameters.”

“Couture’s Lifestyle Discovery Process™ is actually a multi-dimensional experience, where we meet with the client and work our way through an extensive set of proprietary conversations,” explained Todd Ullom. “We delve into the typical questions that other builders may use, such as demographics, prior home history, and even what type of pets the client has. But we also follow other lines of discussion, that may, at first, seem odd, such as how guests are seated at a typical dinner party, what food our clients like to prepare, eat, and serve, and even how the client personally perceives and expresses concepts of wellness and beauty. We work our way at this level of detail through the full range of lifestyle activities, like sleeping habits, bathing preferences, issues of security and safety, playtime, exercise, family interactions, and much more. Only when we complete this process do we feel fully prepared to develop a customer-relevant architectural product: a bespoke home.”

“The Couture Homes team is professional in every sense of the word. What we thought would be impossible--building a house a thousand miles away--has become a joy-filled experience. In our opinion Couture Homes is the hallmark of Florida home builders,” said Mary Anne Sansone, an owner of a Couture home.
