Announcing Our Partnership
With House Beautiful Magazine
We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with House Beautiful Magazine! We are collaborating on the 2024 Whole Home project, which will be featured in their upcoming November/December Renovation Issue. This isn't just any home; it’s House Beautiful's first-ever vacation home, and it’s located right here in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.

What Makes This Project Special?
Having nearly 30 years of experience in building luxury custom homes, we understand the importance of quality and sustainability. This new home will highlight energy efficiency and green design, combining elements that help the home connect with the stunning mountain scenery of North Carolina. We are committed to building happier, healthier homes, and this project gives us a chance to showcase our passion on a national stage.
“Partnering with House Beautiful is a dream come true for our team,” explains Sean Sullivan, one of our leaders at Living Stone Design + Build. “We’re excited to raise the bar for luxury, sustainable living.” This speaks volumes about our mission and dedication to our clients.

A Focus on Health and Sustainability
The home is situated in the Sprout community, and it will incorporate biophilic design elements—designs that connect people with nature. We are thrilled to work with Laura Sullivan from ID.ology Interiors & Design, who will lend her expertise to bring this vision to life.
What’s more, our collaboration aligns perfectly with House Beautiful’s commitment to promoting healthier living environments. Together, we are supporting Wellness Within Your Walls, a program that advocates for creating toxin-free homes.

Green Building Leadership
We prioritize designing and building homes that are as low-maintenance as possible—but no home is maintenance-free. Much like a high-performance vehicle, a high-performance home is designed to perform at a higher level, but it still requires thoughtful, routine care to keep it operating at its best. Living Stone Concierge helps protect that performance—and your investment—by giving you a trusted team to manage the ongoing care your home needs for years to come.
