The job of designing a new home can seem a difficult and daunting task. Many of our customers come to us not sure where even to begin. In order to help you with this, we’re creating a series of posts about what home design elements to keep in mind when designing your new home. Hopefully, you’ll find these helpful when you’re choosing and\/or modifying a home plan you found in a magazine. (Note: If you need help finding a home plan, try starting out by looking at some of these plans on our website.<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, if you’re thinking of remodeling, these same design principles will apply and will help you with any size remodeling project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this series we’ll use the design patterns found in the book Patterns of Home: The Ten Essentials of Enduring Design<\/em> by the authors Max Jacobson, Murray Silverstein, and Barbara Winslow. All three of the authors are internationally respected architects who published this easy to read and beautifully illustrated book in 2002. We highly recommend this book to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe key to creating a house that is memorable, satisfying, and enduring is to apply a group of design concepts–or “patterns”–that focus on the experience of being in a home. In this groundbreaking work,\u2026 [the book will] present the ten essential patterns that shape and define a well-crafted home.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Clearly written and profusely illustrated with houses from all over the country, “Patterns of Home,” brings the timeless lessons of residential design to anyone seeking inspiration and direction in the design or remodel of a home. The patterns described in the book can make the difference between a home that satisfies only the material needs of the owners and one that captures the essence of home.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
