Gaggenau’s Club 1683 feature explores how Carbon Custom Builders is reshaping modern homebuilding through a blend of precision engineering, artistry, and environmental responsibility.

Founded by Sam Fertik, Carbon crafts homes that merge advanced insulated concrete construction with timeless, architectural design - homes that are resilient, efficient, and deeply connected to their natural surroundings.

The article highlights key projects including Carbon Home Zero, Fertik’s carbon-neutral family residence in Pound Ridge, and Mountain House in northern Westchester — both examples of how Carbon’s approach to structure and detail sets a new standard for modern living.

Like Gaggenau, Carbon shares a dedication to beauty, functionality, and craftsmanship that endures. “Functionally beautiful,” Fertik says, “is more than a mantra; it’s a way of life.”
