Welcome to TJB Homes – Where Luxury Meets Universal Design
When it comes to building a luxury custom home, comfort and beauty should go hand in hand with functionality for every stage of life. At TJB Homes, we believe that universal design and accessibility features can seamlessly blend into stunning, high-end spaces—without sacrificing style or elegance.
As a premier custom home builder based in Blaine, MN, TJB Homes proudly serves clients throughout the entire Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and Western Wisconsin. For over 40 years, under the leadership of owner Tom Budzynski, we’ve been helping discerning homeowners bring their dreams to life, including designing and building executive lake homes and breathtaking residences tailored to individual needs.
Our reputation for quality and innovation has even reached national television—TJB Homes has built two homes for the hit TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, showcasing our ability to deliver exceptional craftsmanship under any circumstances.
Whether you’re planning for aging in place, building a home for a loved one with mobility challenges, or simply seeking a luxurious home that’s future-ready, TJB Homes is your trusted partner in creating spaces that are both beautiful and accessible.
What is Universal Design in Luxury Homes?
Universal design is a forward-thinking approach that makes homes comfortable, safe, and usable for people of all ages and abilities. Unlike purely “handicap-accessible” features that might stand out visually, universal design focuses on seamless integration—creating spaces that feel luxurious and inviting while remaining practical and accessible.
In a luxury custom home, universal design might include:
- Open floor plans for easy navigation
- Zero-step entries to eliminate barriers at entrances
- Wider hallways and doorways for comfortable movement
- Accessible kitchen layouts with multi-level countertops
- Elegant bathrooms designed for both style and safety
- Smart home technology to enhance convenience and independence
At TJB Homes, we specialize in incorporating these elements without compromising the aesthetics that define a high-end residence. Every detail is custom-designed to your tastes and lifestyle.
Key Accessibility Features TJB Homes Can Include
We understand that every client’s needs are unique. That’s why we offer a wide array of custom accessibility features, including:
- Zero-Step Entries & Thresholds: Smooth transitions into and within the home, ideal for wheelchairs, walkers, or simply easier mobility.
- Elevators & Stair Lifts: Discreet solutions to provide access to upper floors without detracting from your home’s luxury feel.
- Accessible Kitchens: Custom cabinetry, pull-down shelving, and thoughtful layouts make gourmet kitchens usable for everyone.
- Spa-Like Bathrooms: Roll-in showers, grab bars integrated into elegant designs, and ample space for maneuverability.
- Smart Home Integration: Voice-activated controls, automated lighting, and security systems designed for maximum convenience.
- Lake Home Considerations: From gentle slopes to dock access and shoreline pathways, we incorporate universal design into executive lake homes to make lakeside living accessible for all.
Our expert team works closely with homeowners, architects, and designers to ensure every feature blends flawlessly into the overall design, preserving your home’s luxurious atmosphere.
Benefits of Designing for Aging in Place Without Sacrificing Luxury
Many homeowners are planning ahead for their future needs, wanting to stay in their homes as they age without giving up the elegance and comfort they love. Designing your custom home with aging-in-place features from the start offers significant advantages:
- Long-Term Independence: Remain in your cherished home for decades, even as mobility needs change.
- Cost Efficiency: It’s far more economical to build accessible features into your custom design than to remodel later.
- Enhanced Resale Value: A home designed with universal design principles appeals to a broader market.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your home will continue to serve you well brings invaluable confidence.
TJB Homes combines modern luxury with thoughtful planning, ensuring your new custom home is a haven of both beauty and functionality.
