New Home Design

What is the process for designing a new home? What are the steps in competing a new home design? The answers to these questions vary from job to job, but generally include some of the same elements. The first step in contemplating a new home design is to interview and select a design firm. There are many choices and many different prices to choose from when selecting a design team to complete your new home design. Ask about their experience, ask for references, ask if they have designed homes similar to what you are looking for. Also, ask exactly what you will receive for the fees you pay.

After you interview and select a design firm, the first step will be to lay out your site plan. This shows how your home or building will be situated on your lot/land. Then the designer will help you decide on your floor-plan. The floor plan includes the locations of all the rooms, garages, porches, patios and more along with notes and dimensions. Once your floor plans are complete, you will move to the elevations stage of the design. This is where an experienced design team will help you to decide exactly what you want your house or building to look like on the outside from all four sides. These elevations outline exterior material choices, such as brick, stone or stucco, architectural details, and generally showcase the exterior features of the home. These pages will show whether the style is French country, Mediterranean, traditional, Tuscan, Victorian, English or another architectural style.

Once floor plans and elevations have been completed, then it is time to finish the plan. A finished plan will include electrical details, a roof plan, in some cases a framing plan, and also where required, sections. Sections are cut-aways that show different areas of the home from different angles as if you are looking at a slice through of that area of the home. Finally you will receive several pages of general construction notes. These notation pages are to help guide your builder in many different areas of construction. These notation pages are critical and careful attention needs to be paid to these pages as they will help tremendously during the construction process. Services such as space planning, land planning, interior elevations, artistic renderings and much more are usually offered by experienced design firms. Think carefully before you choose your design firm, make sure they are capable of delivering what you expect in a new architectural design, and happy building!

First, get a good look at the actual space. If you plan on hiring staff or running a one person operation, you still need to be conscious of how you function within your space. Serious young entrepreneurs need their home offices to reflect their goals. I should've done some design homework before setting up a completely dysfunctional home office. Designing a home office with Feng Shui is a little complicated, but a very cool and practical approach to design. For optimal Feng Shui harmony, if you're interior allows for a separate entry to your office, go with it. A clear separation between work and home should be your first choice. Think of health, well-being and productivity for color palettes.

Creamy yellows and soft whites are popular choices because they're motivating colors, but not distracting or disruptive. Poor lighting and air quality will affect the quality of your work. Ample natural lighting and an open window feeds your brain! Full spectrum lights and air purifying plants can help beef up your lighting and air quality. Once your design has been developed, you can then begin to have the plans drafted by an architect who will be able to construct your home as you designed it. You can take great pride in this home because it is your vision and dream. However, you cannot assume that this home will go up overnight. Planning to design your own home can take even longer than it takes to build your own home from a pre-drawn design. You should have in mind that this is a lengthy and ongoing project but it is a project that will fill you with joy and pride once it is completed.
