New Home Plans

When a new home or home improvement project is in your future, a specialist in residential design is the best choice to guide you through the design/building experience.

Building a home incurs the greatest financial burden most people will face in a lifetime, and yet few envision how complex the process is until they are tangled in a jungle of codes, ordinances, house plan options, and product and contractor choices.

Learn to create better designed and detailed houses of beauty and value.
Some of the classes are,

• General concepts of residential design.
• detailed instruction in selected regional styles.
• site visits and sketching tours.

General concepts of residential design covered include an overview of traditional American residential styles; strategies for locating and massing a house; instruction in plan and façade composition; and discussion of materials and the detailing of roofs, eaves, walls, doors and windows will be studied for each of the regional styles.

How to construct the new Home?

Some of the ways that are following below,
Open, Informal Spaces:
Formal living rooms are waning in popularity. Given a choice, many buyers opt for an informal “great room” instead. Combining the family room with the dining area gives the home a greater sense of spaciousness. A half wall or a work counter defines the kitchen area while allowing unobstructed views.

Fewer Hallways:
Homes with fewer hallways have an open, airy feeling. Instead of long, dreary corridors, rooms flow together with doors leading directly to a living area or other shared space. The home may appear larger because less square footage is spent on passageways.

Sliding Doors:
Sliding doors, pocket doors, and other types of movable partitions allow flexibility in living arrangements. An expansive master suite can be divided into a smaller room with an adjacent study.

Storage Space:
Walk-in closets, ample linen closets, dressing rooms, pantries, and easy-to-reach kitchen cabinets add enormous appeal to any home.

Spacious Laundry Rooms:
The laundry room, once relegated to the basement, has become bright, spacious, and conveniently located on the main level, usually near the kitchen.

Wider Garages:
SUVs and other large vehicles make spacious garages a must for many families. Two-car garages are ideally at least 22 feet wide. Many buyers opt for an even wider three-car garage. Unfortunately, wide garage doors can detract from the curb appeal of an otherwise charming traditional home. To improve the aesthetics, some designers place the garages in the rear. A doorway between the garage and the kitchen or utility room lets family members save steps (and avoid bad weather) when unloading groceries.

Outdoor Living:
The yard and garden become a part of the floor plan when sliding glass doors lead to decks, patios, and porches. Upscale features include outdoor fireplaces, grills, and wet bars.
