Someideas to consider:
- Traffic patterns - Keep the flow of the home working smoothly.
- Privacy - Bedroom areas should be isolated from the general living areas of the house.
- The sun – Where the sun rises can change the mood and feeling of a home.
- Heat gain - Design to maximize comfort and minimize bills.
- Ventilation - Be aware of the prevailing winds and make use of cross ventilation whenever possible.
- Noise – Put sleeping areas far from street or freeway noise and remember that kitchen, laundry and furnace areas produce noise which can be annoying when watching a movie or reading a book.
- Lighting - Careful lighting design is very important and often not given enough thought. Different types of lighting (individually controlled) can give great flexibility to change the function or feeling of a room with the flip of a switch.
- Windows – In addition to important technical details – sound and light transmission, frame, exterior, venting and orientation -- special features that can transform a room are window seats, bow or bay windows and "pop-out" windows.
- Fireplace - Always a good investment and a great feature for the living room, bedroom, family room or master bathroom.
- Entrance - When you entertain guests, the entry is their first impression and we want to make it a great one.
