The Signature Standard | New Homes in Birmingham & Nashville
“If you’re not evolving, you’re behind.” For too long, homebuilding has felt stagnant and repetitive. That is why Dwight Sandlin made it his mission over two years ago to completely revitalize the homebuilding markets in both Birmingham, Alabama, and Nashville, Tennessee. It’s often said that the only constant is change. Signature Homes plans to be that change.
At Signature Homes, we believe your home shouldn’t just meet today's standards. What started with The Signature Series is pushing forward with The New Era of Homebuilding.
Our Mission: Bringing the Best Home to You
“We believe the future of homebuilding belongs to those willing to reimagine it. A home should grow with you, inspiring the first time you step inside and continuing to reveal its value for years to come. Our approach challenges convention, blending innovation with timeless design to create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. We don’t chase what’s popular. We study how people live, refine every detail, and bring thoughtful ideas to life with intention. This new era of options is about raising the standard and delivering homes that feel personal, purposeful, and enduring,” says Thor Manskow, our Director of Procurement.
The Future is in the Details
Homebuilding continues to evolve, and so do we. As we step confidently into 2026, we’re elevating our home designs once again. We are expanding our options with even more thoughtful details, intentional layouts, and inspired features that enhance how you live every day. These exciting new design options are launching now and will soon be available across all our communities. Explore below to see the inspired trends and innovative designs shaping what’s next.
Redefined Kitchens
- We are introducing a sleek, ultra-modern 2-inch countertop backsplash, often made from the same quartz or stone as the counter, for a seamless, minimalist look.
- For those who crave drama, we offer tile or slab quartz that runs from the countertop to the ceiling, creating stunning focal walls behind hoods and shelving.
- Lighting is everything. We are incorporating integrated LED strips in a dropped ceiling, creating a soft, floating "halo" effect that adds ambiance in the evening.
Architectural Character
- We are excited to debut new wall and ceiling treatments that go beyond basic paint. Think subtle texturing, applied molding, and integrated wood elements.
- Tall ceilings are great, but they need warmth. We are utilizing ceiling beams to ground vast spaces and add timeless or modern grandeur to living areas and primary suites.
Curated Spaces
- Our new built-in options are designed for modern needs. You can choose to create built-in bookshelves, sleek media walls, functional mudroom storage, or elegant dining room niches.
- We are designing intentional niches to showcase your favorite art pieces or sculptures, with optional lighting.
Throughout the home, you’ll discover a beautifully expanded range of colors and finishes thoughtfully curated to create depth and character. We’re unveiling a refreshed palette across hardware, plumbing fixtures, and flooring; blending fresh, organic tones with distinctive, unexpected details that bring each space to life.
Experience the New Era
These features aren't just upgrades; they are the new baseline for thoughtful living. We are incredibly proud to bring this level of design sophistication to our Birmingham and Nashville area homeowners.
While our design philosophy remains consistent, every community we build has its own unique character. Whether you are looking for a quiet retreat, or vibrant social hub, your journey starts here. Explore our Birmingham communities and Nashville communities to discover where you’ll find your new home.
