mance, with rigorous requirements
that ensure outstanding levels of energy
savings, comfort, health and durability.”
Additionally, Amerisips was recently
selected as a Department of Energy
Home Innovation Award recipient in
the Custom Home category and a final-
ist in the U.S. Green Building Council’s
Best of Builder Awards – further solidi-
fying its position as one of the leading
green design/builders in the country.
Accordingly, Bostic explained,
Amerisips’ homes also meet the high-
est standards for indoor air quality.
Each home is built to the EPA’s Indoor
airPLUS specifications. He noted that
an Amerisips home is “as clean as an
operating room,” thanks to a whole-
house ventilation system and an in-duct
UV filtration system that filters out
contaminants and allergens.
It was a no-brainer for the Gor-
litskys, particularly when they discov-
ered Amerisips houses are completely
customizable. Each home begins with
the innovative EcoShell, a complete
home exterior crafted from exceptional-
ly strong and energy efficient structural
insulated panels.
Then the Amerisips team sits down
with homeowners to determine their
budget and how they’ll use the space.
Since the system doesn’t require load-
bearing walls, the popular open floor
plan is readily available. But for those
who want to tweak the design further,
the Amerisips team is there to help.
“The house design and the interior de-
sign is all custom,” Tina Bostic explained.
“We have house designers and interior
designers on staff, so they can customize
virtually anything in the house.”
And while the expedited turnaround
– about half the time it takes to build a
comparable custom-designed stick built
home, according to Bostic – may throw
some people, these are not pre-fab
facade or pre-fab homes.
“It’s the beginning-to-end integrated
process and better managed construc-
tion process which allows us to build
these really high-end, high-quality
homes in much less time,” Tina Bostic
clarified.
Amerisips level of quality and cus-
tomization bore special significance for
the Gorlitskys because one of their sons
is paralyzed from the waist down.
“Everything – every room, every
inch of this house – is ADA (Americans
With Disabilities Act)-compliant with
him in mind,” said Stan. “Steve and
Tina understand us and know all the
things about how to build like that,
right down to considering the views.
So it’s perfect for him. It’s almost like a
family compound. This will be the last
house that we build.”
Now standing on their future
house’s foundation in what next year
will be a room – probably with a few
prints of Stan’s avian photography
adorning the walls – the Gorlitskys
already look at home. It’s strange to
imagine they might have missed out on
this special spot – and very nearly did,
Suzanne explained.
The couple, she shared, originally
had an option on a home in a new
equestrian-oriented tract of the Poplar
Grove subdivision in Ravenel. They had
gotten so far as to have Bostic design a
