These are a series of articles intended to help you think about and plan the design of your home.  They do not eliminate the need to hire an architect but they will help you give your architect specific direction during the design process.  They will also help you understand many of the issues involved during that design process.

This is a series of article intended to help individual homeowners think about and plan the design of their new home or remodel project .  They are divided into 2 broad general categories; New Home Design and Home Remodel Design. As one might imagine there are significant differences and similarities between the two types of projects. I've attempted to tailor the articles to the particular type of project. Many of the articles will have the same names but the content will be different where it needs to be.

Select articles to read from the menu on the right.  Each category expands to display the full list of articles in that section.  Each article is also formatted in a printer friendly PDF version which is available via the "Download Article" button.

These articles were originally published on my blog.  There you will find additional links and resources intended to inform and spark your imagination.  I hope you find them useful.  Perhaps even useful enough to hire us to help you design your home.
