Craftsmanship With ICF Energy-efficient Construction
Based in Newton, our company has been serving Wichita and surrounding towns for many years. We are excited to share our custom home builder services featuring this new residence in Valley Center. The build represents the future of residential construction. By combining architectural design with the unmatched thermal mass of ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) technology, we’ve created a sanctuary that is as storm-resistant and energy-efficient as it is visually appealing.
We began with a standing seam metal roof that complements the rural setting while adding another layer of texture to the home’s exterior. Wood beam accents further enhance the rustic character and natural feel of the design. Board and Batten siding from LP Smartside create a low maintenance exterior.
Informed Decisions About Building A Home
Building a new home is a major milestone, but making sense of the endless options can be a challenge. One of our greatest passions at Heritage Home Works is educating our clients so they can navigate the construction process with total clarity. We take pride in sharing the specialized considerations required for high-performance ICF homes, ensuring you understand the 'why' behind our methods. Our mission is simple: to provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home was built with your family’s best interests at heart.
ADVANCED ICF CONSTRUCTION : A LOOK AT OUR HOME BUILD
STEP INSIDE A NEW HOME BUILD WITH A MATTERPORT TOUR
WELCOMING ENTRYWAY TO A NEW HOME
The stylish entryway hooks keep guest coats right by the door—making them easy to grab on the way out instead of accidentally leaving behind. These small details are all part of a larger story designed to be experienced and enjoyed.
We like incorporating stained wood anywhere people naturally interact with a space—places where hands rest, slide, or are noticed most often. Not only does it help keep high-touch areas looking cleaner over time, but it also adds warmth, texture, and a more welcoming feel to the room. In this space, the stained railing caps create a cohesive connection by tying beautifully into the crown detailing and the countertop on the entertainment center, helping the entire design feel more unified.
The kitchen was designed to feel bright, open, and connected to the outdoors, highlighted by an oversized picture window stretching across the sink area. Natural light pours deep into the space throughout the day, turning an everyday workspace into one of the home’s most inviting focal points while enhancing the openness of the entire living area.
BEDROOM AND SPA-INSPIRED BATHROOM DESIGN
The bold teal accent wall in Sherwin-Williams Lagoon SW 6480 transforms this paneled feature wall into a true statement piece, infusing the space with vibrant personality, depth, and an energizing splash of color that instantly brings the room to life. Quartz countertops paired with gold-framed mirrors elevate the lavatories into a refined focal point.
The spacious walk-in shower is off to the side of a soaker tub, creating the perfect retreat for relaxing and unwinding at the end of the day. Behind the scenes, a tankless water heater ensures a continuous supply of hot water, allowing every bath to stay warm and comforting from beginning to end.
The master closet is outfitted with extensive custom built-in cabinetry that extends all the way to the ceiling, maximizing every inch of vertical space for elevated, efficient, and beautifully integrated storage.
THE LEVEL BELOW HAS MUCH TO SHARE
As we make our way downstairs, the staircase becomes an opportunity to showcase how craftsmanship can elevate even the most functional spaces. The job-built Newell posts, finished with rich stained caps, add warmth, character, and a distinctly custom feel—transforming a basic railing system into an architectural detail that feels intentional and refined.
The basement kitchen was designed as a fully functional secondary living space, complete with all the conveniences of a full-sized kitchen rather than a simple wet bar or entertaining area. One standout feature is the professionally vented range hood exhausting directly to the exterior—an uncommon upgrade in many basement kitchens that adds both practicality and a higher level of craftsmanship to the space.
This new home was designed with a basement centered around gathering, creativity, and entertainment—offering dedicated spaces for many types of social activity. From the intimate atmosphere of the Speakeasy Room to the bright, open Craft Room designed for hands-on projects and hobbies, the lower level creates a destination within the home where relaxation, conversation, and personal interests all come together.
EXTERIOR EXCELLENCE FOR OUTDOOR LIVING
At first glance, the window placement along the porch may seem unconventional, but it was a deliberate choice to solve a common construction challenge. These windows funnel sunshine directly into the basement. It’s a perfect example of how our custom designs prioritize both the exterior aesthetic and the interior livability, ensuring no corner of the home feels disconnected from the outdoors.
The rear screened porch creates a comfortable outdoor retreat where you can relax and enjoy the evening breeze without worrying about insects interrupting the experience.
WELCOME TO YOUR ENERGY EFFICIENT CUSTOM HOME BUILD
This custom home showcases how a design can successfully balance striking visual appeal with long-term performance and efficiency. From the carefully selected finishes and architectural details to the energy-conscious construction methods and systems working behind the scenes, every element was chosen to create a home that is both beautiful to live in and practical to maintain. Inside and out, the result is a space designed not only to make a strong first impression, but to provide lasting comfort, durability, and enjoyment for years to come. A Place to Call Home!

"We couldn’t have asked for a better crew. They were most considerate, given the fact that we lived among the construction. Very satisfied with the final appearance and function of the remodel and addition. So nice to be able to communicate via text and email."
~Wilmer and Alvera T.
“Heritage Home Works did a FANTASTIC job on the installation of the windows. How did they earn that compliment? I’m basing it on the experience I’d had a few years ago with Lowe’s replacing the windows on the south side. They did a terrible job with the caulk, the finish… I had to have my painter come back and fix all that. The fit, finish, quality and stuff Dan’s crew did well. It just looked like it’s supposed to be done.”
~Doug F.
