The trend in architectural design | what is a personalized house design?
Would it be wonderful to welcome your visitors in your lovely home with this type of design?
Here's an example of a personalized House Design. It bears my initial LRD which is very obvious. I showed the sketch to my wife and she told me, "the letters are prominent". Then i replied "that's the real intention of the design".
As a bold move, one of the greater challenge as an architect is to go beyond the norm of designing a house. Make it more personal.
I believe this is the challenge to every architect/designer. You can play around with ideas that can be translated into the sketch and make a wonderful composition unique to individual.
How to find Architectural Design Ideas?
This is one of the method you can do to find more design ideas. As I shared this thought in my previous blog, this method may be very limited because it is personalized. unlike other means, ideas can be general.
Some people find this very good because you will create a design approach that is so unique. imaginations will work so well with the goal in mind. Clients would love it because it is a design that is personally designed for them will bear their own signature, a seal of ownership.
What are the constraints?
As you are designing a house, forms play a very important role in showcasing the design intention that will make it very obvious in creating the building envelope. The spaces should be well thought in such a way that it will function well as a house. There are no constraints as to considering the whole process of designing a house. All areas of study are well considered so that you will know the limitations needed to avoid while developing the design.
The design should not be over design and should still appear to be a house.
Modern Design
This is one of the best advantage of a modern design. The form can be put together in a composition that will depict a house design. The contrasting of colors through the use of outdoor building material will help you achieve what you want to achieve. As a designer, you can still incorporate traditional design by combining materials and shape that will compliment your design. It may serve as an accent rather to break the monotony of the design.
