HOME DESIGN

Owning a home you can design yourself is a fantastic opportunity. How do you make decisions about what to put in your house, and how do you draw out blueprints that a builder or architect can use? You don't need to be an expert to create the ideal home.
Whether or not you have an architect, the stages listed below will assist you in coming up with the ideal design and effectively communicating it. They can tell you about any problems with your design because they know what works and what doesn't.

Consider where to build your home and set budget for the home's design

You'll probably need to decide which items on your wish list are worth buying and which are not. The layout of your home's interior depends on where it is on the property and how it is orientated. You must choose a location for your home before you design it. One factor that may affect where you locate each room is the amount of natural light that each side of the house receives.
Learn about local building codes before you make any judgments. There can be limitations on the location and style of construction of your home. Trees and hedges can offer shade and act as a windbreak. Long driveways or grading may increase costs for future structures on your land.

Match your home to your lifestyle.

We have the opportunity to design something specifically suited to  way of life when we build our own home. Consider the ideal home in the context of the lifestyle you would like it to look and feel. Determine the design of your house.
Traditional homes are typically composed of materials like brick, wood, stucco, or stone and have tall, pointed roofs with gables. Modern homes tend to have open-concept floor plans with fewer dividing walls.
 

Room specifications

Feel free to wax lyrical about the house of your dreams. However, rank your wishes in order of importance. The architect will begin with the most crucial items if they can't all be done.

• Victorian House Plans

The Victorian era, which ran from 1837 to 1901, encompasses a number of architectural types of homes. Victorian-era homes had beautiful, distinctive interiors rich in detail. Modern Victorian homes keep some of the classic features of the style but use more modern fabrics and colors.

• Tudor House Plans

Modern Tudor homes are modern reinterpretations of Tudor-style homes that were inspired by a number of Late Medieval prototypes. A steeply pitched roof, half-timbering for decoration, and tall, narrow windows with small planes are all typical.

Conclusion

The layout of your home's interior depends on where it is on the property and how it is orientated. There can be limitations on the location and style of construction of your house. Consider the ideal home in the context of the lifestyle you would like it to look and feel.
