After all, this number is all-inclusive &#8211; garages, attics, closets, nooks and crannies, hallways &#8211; of space that, while you pay for it, isn\u2019t an important, usable, necessary part of your home.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At Paradise, we strive to make every square foot of our homes liveable, by using architectural techniques to increase space and ease the flow of traffic in your home. Our builds are clean and modern, but they\u2019re thoughtful. Many call this contemporary design, but we disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary designs are often without function &#8211; design that\u2019s eye-catching, striking or modern often isn\u2019t made with real living in mind. Contemporary design isn\u2019t built for rushed mornings before school, weeknight homework help, afternoons with a good book, or cooking a beautiful meal for the people you invited to share it with. But combining the aspirational touches in contemporary design with space you can live and breathe in? That\u2019s what we call <b>progressive.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We think flash is best when accompanied with function. That\u2019s why we take our cues from California cool, designing our floorplans around where your furniture will go for maximum usable space. Combining that extra room with standard 9\u2019 ceilings on the ground floor and elevated ceilings on the second lets us increase the number of windows in main living areas for more natural light and warmth.<strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
