MossCreek, Your Natural Choice for Home Design

By Amanda Griffin

Over warm coffee and Zoom, I had a chance to sit down with Allen Halcomb, president of MossCreek, to discuss why so many people choose MossCreek to design their mountain or lake home getaway.

“Every two days, somewhere in the United States and Canada, someone moves into their new MossCreek home.” says Allen Halcomb. “That is extremely rewarding, but building a new home from concept through construction is a complex journey. It’s a process with lots of moving parts involving multiple phases, players, and pieces.”

“At Moss Creek, we believe the journey should be exciting and fulfilling for our clients, not stressful. Our experienced team understands this process, inside and out, and we’re dedicated to creating an experience that is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. We are intensely proud of the fact that we’re small enough to focus carefully on every project, while still delivering world-class results.”

An Unparalleled Standard of Unique and Recognizable Design

During our conversation, it became apparent that a dream home doesn’t need to have style limitations that are dictated by where you live. The designers at MossCreek have knowledge and experience in understanding the regional influences on architectural style, and how to blend those styles to design a home tailored to each homeowner’s aesthetic preferences, lifestyle, and vision.

“No doubt MossCreek homes have a unique and identifiable style. We’re best known for our innovative Rustic home designs, and now we are blending them into Mountain Contemporary home styles as well” says Allen Halcomb. “We believe in blurring the lines between traditional living and contemporary living, and our cutting-edge designs showcase that.”
