It's called a pagola!
It's adopted from the garden concept of forming shading device or a protection or covering of an extended space such as terrace or balcony or sit-out.
In some cases it's covered underneath with a transparent/translusent dampalon material while in other cases it's not covered underneath with any material but woody vines/plants are planted on the pagola to enhance green architecture and improve eco-friendly home

Where to begin when designing a building property or residential home designs? Think about your Site, its Context and the Story or Narrative you want it to tell.


Whether building a new residential apartment or renovating an existing one, construction is a journey that starts with the big picture and then winds its way to the details. From big to small, the steps involved in creating a home deserve as much attention as can be lavished on them. Doing so enables us to go beyond creating mere shelter. We get to create something that’s meaningful and lasting for ourselves, Clients and the future.

When we look at the big things, we look at things like site, context, function, structure and envelope, organization, materials and style. We set the tone for what we want and establish a basis for making decisions as we go. In a sense, we create an outline for our narrative that ensures the story, our home, is the best we can make it, whether our budget is modest or grand.

1) Site:
The first consideration is the site, the place where the home will rest for many, many years to come. Like people, each site is unique. Each has a different solar orientation, topography, view corridors and vegetation.
Each site has its unique flaws and its unique assets. So explore your site. Ask yourself where and how this structure wants to rest on it. Determine where the views are, what the materials should be, how sunlight falls across the land and where the best spot is for locating the home.

2) Context:
While the site speaks to the natural world, the context speaks to what surrounds the home and includes what has been constructed by humans. Streets, existing houses, utilities, landscapes and driveways are all elements of your home’s context.

So if you decide to build or expand an existing home, you’ll have to decide how you’ll respond to the context. Should the new home be different or like its neighbors? Should the addition be different from or compatible with the existing structure? If you decide to be different, can you and your neighbors be accepting of that? If you decide to be compatible, do you slavishly copy or attempt to create something new but not so new?

Also, you’ll have to comply with zoning restrictions that can set where the structure is to be located and how large or tall it can be. And these zoning requirements could hinder how your new home will respond to views and the sun. So you will have to find that sweet spot where the home is what you want it to be, given the restrictions and opportunities of your property’s context.

3) Function:
The great 19th-century American architect "Louis Sullivan" coined the phrase “form follows function.”

But form really doesn’t follow function. It seems to me that form and function are intertwined like. Sometimes one leads; sometimes one follows. form and function each inform the other and both are very important to consider. This makes sense only as the form is shaped by the function that will be contained within. And the function, no matter how rigid, must adapt to the form that surrounds it.

So think of your building as a series of enclosed space (forms) that enable a series of activities (functions). Then determine if this form is the best for the function contained therein. Ask yourself if a better form will enable you to perform the function very well.

4) Structure and envelope:
A home must meet certain utility needs. It must be a place that keeps you cool in hot season and warm in cold season. It must be a place that keeps wind and rain out. With the home’s unifying structural system such as grid system in place, the other architectural elements, such as walls, are free to become what they want to be. They can be solid here, transparent there; sometimes fixed structures and sometimes movable screens.

5) Organization:
How will the floor plan of your home be organized?

Will it be a collection of rooms that have only a tenuous link to one another, or will it be a plan with a hierarchy of rooms that are linked by generous and thought-through circulation paths? These are important questions, because a home that has a plan with a rational layout and well-defined circulation can make you feel more organized in your daily routines.

What becomes really important in creating a well-organized and rational plan is how movement through the home is achieved. Generously sized hallways that connect inside to outside and room to room are key.

So we travel past, rather than through, a room on our way to another room. A rational circulation pattern ensures that our rooms become less like wide hallways where it’s difficult to do anything, and more like islands of activity where we are comfortable performing daily tasks.

So when you can, make the hallways wide and bathe them in light. And don’t forget to have light and views at the ends. Your home will be all the more enjoyable if you do.

6) Materials:
Whether they are local or from across the globe, rustic and hand-hewn or sleek and machine-made, the materials you use for your new building speak a lot about what you want your property to be. The materials you choose will also define the texture and color palette of your new home.

With so many choices, you will want to establish criteria. If the building is to be as “green” as possible, you will likely want to use what’s locally sourced or maybe what already exists on your building site. If you want as much transparency as possible, you will likely choose large sheets of a translucent material and give them little visible support. If you want the least possible maintenance, you will likely opt for manufactured materials such as fiber cement, Gypsum board, POP material, Extended Polystyrene Materials, Glass, pre-cast Concrete, bricks, sandcrete blocks, and plywoods/wall papers for interior walls partitions.

And you will also want to consider the intrinsic nature of materials. Will you opt for those that are permanent, looking like they have been there forever, or those that appear as if they could fly away and disappear at any moment? Or will you strive to combine these in a symphony of materials that is both static and dynamic at the same time?

7) Style:
Let’s end our list of big-picture items with the one that many of us address first. It’s simply a natural question to ask, “What style will the building be?” or to ask a potential architect, “What style do you design in?” Style is an incredibly emotional and defining issue. And while many architects don’t want to start a project with a predetermined style, most clients do.

Whether traditional or modern, classical or contemporary, historic or avant-garde, getting the home designed in the style you want and have the most love for is critical. This is not to say that you have to slavishly copy plans, elevations and details from a historic style. In fact, understanding what it is about a certain style that resonates with you and then reinterpreting that style to suit yourself will likely result in a far richer and more meaningful buildings.

So don’t shy away from talking about style. Rather, reach deep inside to learn who you are and why you like what you like, and create that unique place that’s all yours.

As a client, you may feel like you have little influence over whether your remodeling project stays on budget and hits the finish line on time. But you have more control than you might think. Remember, the scope of your project and the specific materials are up to you.
The key to keeping a project on budget and on schedule is nailing down the details before ground breaks. If you’ve never renovated or built a new home, you may not be sure about how the seed of an idea turns into a completed project. Here’s a road map for two early steps: putting together your renovation team and nailing down your project’s cost.

Who Will Help You Build Your Vision?

Before you meet with a professional, you should know what you want to accomplish. Is your goal to tear out your entire kitchen, Living room, toilet, or bedrooms and start afresh? Or are you looking for less costly upgrades, perhaps replacing cabinet in the kitchen, water-closet , water tub, and a complete change of the wall finishes? Or do you want to remodel your whole house?

Some homeowners know only that the current home isn’t working for them but aren’t sure how to fix it. If you are in this group, you may decide to work with professionals who can help you develop a plan and advise you on cost

What Exactly Do Pros Do?

The most important documents you will need are the construction plans. Your building plans must be approved by an agency to make sure the home is safe and meets local codes. So unless you are familiar with building codes and construction methods, you will want to hire a professional to draft these plans. Rules for which pros can draft plans vary by state (and in some states by county or municipality) and with the size and type of project. Look to the local building department or the professionals you contact to explain the rules in your area.

Each profession has its special emphasis. Architects and interior designers create concepts and draw plans. General contractors build the plans. Landscape architects create designs and plans for outdoor spaces. Design-build firms offer both design and building services, some with in-house architects, others by contracting the design work out.

Ask About Options

Many pros offer a range of services, from initial design to project management, which may be priced as options or charged at per-hour rates. For just one example, architects can provide evaluation and planning services, which can involve site analysis and selection, economic feasibility studies and helping you determine what you want, need and are willing to pay for.

Architecture firms offer design services, including documents that define the space’s shape, and they may work closely with engineers as needed in relationship to the structural elements. They also may offer construction management services, involving consulting and coordinating with the various agencies overseeing your project, or manage the bidding process when you search for the right contractor. These are just a handful of the services your architect may provide, so it is worth asking about pricing and what is involved as you shop around. Also, there could be some overlap in the options of services provided by the different pros, so be sure that you are clear on what you need and what services each will perform. Even if you are not planning to hire a professional to design or manage your renovation, you may want to hire a pro on a per-hour basis to help you refine your ideas. “A small percentage of upfront money with a professional can really help clarify the scope of the project and the budget before you get too involved.

Select Your First Team Member

When hiring your first design team member, you can start with a builder, architect, designer, design-build firm or remodeler, depending on your needs and priorities. If you already know a contractor whose work you like, he or she will probably have a list of architects and interior designers to recommend. That is also true if you start with other pros. ensure you see their previous projects completed.

Narrow your list down to your favorites and then interview a few people. Ask for and check references, and drive out to see past projects. Also, see how it might feel to work together. make sure you have a rapport with the professional. You should find out whether they listen and whether they are good at communicating.

Be Up Front About Your Number

It’s helpful to be honest about your budget with the professionals you contact. Pros typically work with clients whose budgets are within a certain range.
Some homeowners pay a high-end designer to create the initial plan, only to realize that the products and materials suggested are out of range.

Homeowners without constrained budgets may be afraid to be too forthcoming for fear that pros will push them to spend more than they would like. That’s where checking references and finding people you can communicate with comes in. In the process of vetting the pros you are considering, you will find reputable people who will not push you but use your target number to help guide your plan.

How to save time, money and your sanity when building new or remodeling a property.


Imagine walking into your newly built or remodeled home and seeing it exactly as you had imagined it at the start of construction: the windows are all in the right places, the flooring is the right color, and the kitchen cabinets are a perfect fit.

Now allow me to pinch you on the arm, because for most people, reality is often different from that idyllic scenario. You might see missing trim around the bedroom doors or wonder why that small change in the kitchen cost so much. Looking back, you might ask, “And why did we have to hire another subcontractor to finish the bathroom?”

Of course, there are things you just can’t plan for, but there’s plenty that you can. Costly changes and additional time-consuming work can be kept to a minimum if you fully understand what you are building before you start. By understanding the construction process, being part of the team and keeping a firm grip on the budget, your construction project can result in the home of your dreams.

1. Don’t Skimp on Design Help

Given the busy lives most of us lead, we don’t have the time to research every type of technology and material that might be used on a construction project. Use professionals to save some of the time that would otherwise be spent learning and perfecting the process.

Architects are trained not just to make a project pretty but to match building systems, thermal envelopes and other properties to the client’s needs. They have a broad, up-to-date knowledge of these systems as well as of materials and processes for a wide variety of project areas.

Now, I sympathize with the awful feelings associated with a project’s going over budget. I’ve been there; I’ve gotten that dreaded call from the contractor that the structural and mechanical designs are in conflict. And dealt with preexisting conditions that the contractor hadn’t anticipated.

A design pro can provide guidance on what team members will likely be required for the project. And not just for the big ones, like a full custom home construction. Smaller projects like additions and remodels also can benefit from a pro’s expertise. Architects can usually recommend other team members, too, such as engineers.

Your budget might be tight, but I’ve seen time and time again that trying to save money on design actually can cost homeowners far more in the end, in frustration.

Homeowners often underestimate the cost and complexity of a remodel or new home project. The cost of the design work on a project is something that homeowners may consider skimping on to save money, but we find that the best way to avoid problems in construction is to invest time with your designer or architect up front to think about the construction process during design. This takes far less time than fixing mistakes that happen when the walls are going up.

Although it isn’t often pointed out, a good designer or architect depends on the client throughout the design and planning process as much as the client depends on the designer.

2. Become Part of the Team

Most people spend more time planning their next vacation, travels, and parties than they do planning their house project. Not that planning a house project has to be a full-time job. An architect or a designer can help you understand your role in the project as well as the contributions of other team members. That means participating in the process from the start so that you stay fully up to speed with what is happening throughout the project.

I’ve seen clients assume that I know what’s going on in their head and are surprised when something comes out different than what they were expecting. Being part of the team also means becoming familiar with some of the ways your team members communicate. The vast majority of projects use two-dimensional drawings (as well as written specifications) to communicate a homeowner’s intent to the construction team. This documentation is used to create three-dimensional structures.

This sounds simple enough, but there are many chances for misunderstandings each time a team member reads the documentation. On a recent project, the foundation contractor misread the drawings and built the formwork too narrow on part of the foundation. During a site visit, we were able to catch it before the concrete was poured, saving the time and frustration of having to chip out all that concrete. Saving our clients from waste is very important to us.

You can ask your team to assist you so you understand what is being communicated at each stage of the project. The best opportunity for this is during your design meetings. Remember, if you don’t understand something, ask. It’s better to get everyone on the same page early before a structure gets built that sticks out like a sore thumb.

You should also talk with the architect and/or contractor before the project starts so you can make sure that everyone agrees on the approach to how the building will be put together. There are evolving areas of construction, especially regarding the building envelope, that contractors and the architect should resolve before the project commences.

3. Establish Your Goals and Refer Back to Them Frequently

Be ready to suggest ways to get what you want while avoiding potential problems down the road. If you can create a list of priorities, then when you are faced with challenging decisions during construction, which is pretty much guaranteed, you and your team will be able to look back at your prioritized list to really focus on what will get you closer to your goal instead of what may be a costly distraction.

Things like prioritizing morning light in the kitchen or consciously forgoing a walk-in closet for a larger main bedroom can save the time and cost of having to move walls and making other expensive changes in the middle of construction.

4. Establish Your Budget and Add at Least 10 Percent

Be sure to set aside a construction contingency for critical items — and don’t be tempted to use it just to put in an upgraded cooktop! Due to the complexity of the construction process, unforeseen issues will come up. Without a contingency, you might find yourself short of cash when you really need it.

Without a contingency to tackle urgent situation, we might have Issues that will lead to postponement of the project delay for a while.

5. Don’t Get Attached to an Optimistic Timeline

Ideally, your team members will take the time to carefully plan and build your dream house most efficiently. Even if they are not putting in hours specifically on your project, the designer and others will likely be thinking about your project in the back of their mind. It takes time to work out the details of a project, so if you need to get the project designed and built very quickly, there might be situations that won’t be fully resolved in the design phase. There will always be elements that will need resolving onsite, but taking the time to do as much as possible on paper can reduce costs.

It’s also tempting to look at the best-case scenario for construction and think that it will then be the norm for your project. Just like with a cost contingency, though, you’d be well served to build in a time contingency as well. As much as it might seem possible to get into the house on a certain date if all the stars align, realistically there is a chance that the project could go late for a whole variety of reasons (laid out previously). Do yourself a favor: Have a backup plan in case you can’t roll up in the moving van on your exact date.

6. Consider Construction Implications Before You Start

During a recent remodel, one homeowner (who was working without a designer) realized that opening up the main floor of her house required a structural engineer, which caused delays as she searched for an engineer and he did his drawings.

So it’s important to understand what the construction implications will be to get the space you want. An architect would have been able to point this out before construction started and would have avoided the stress and extra costs involved in undoing some work in the middle of the project.

7. Communicate Frequently With Your Team

A weekly or biweekly status report can help identify areas of concern. This should be done at the onset of the project and continue through construction. The construction phase is where there are likely to be changes due to site conditions, availability of products or other factors. Be sure to get all changes documented in writing; sign off on both the changes and the cost to stay in control and to ensure that all team members are up-to-date at every stage of the building process.

In construction the document is usually called a change order; it explains the nature of the change and the cost. Sometimes the changes are called extras, because they are additional to what was agreed on in the construction contract.

For example, a homeowner might decide to move the location of a door, so the designer will assess the impact of the change with the general contractor and draw up a change order for review by the client. If the client is OK with the amount, then he or she would ideally sign the physical copy (often confirmation via email is used) and the work would begin.

Where to begin when designing a building property or residential home designs? Think about your Site, its Context and the Story or Narrative you want it to tell.


Whether building a new residential apartment or renovating an existing one, construction is a journey that starts with the big picture and then winds its way to the details. From big to small, the steps involved in creating a home deserve as much attention as can be lavished on them. Doing so enables us to go beyond creating mere shelter. We get to create something that’s meaningful and lasting for ourselves, Clients and the future.

When we look at the big things, we look at things like site, context, function, structure and envelope, organization, materials and style. We set the tone for what we want and establish a basis for making decisions as we go. In a sense, we create an outline for our narrative that ensures the story, our home, is the best we can make it, whether our budget is modest or grand.

1) Site:
The first consideration is the site, the place where the home will rest for many, many years to come. Like people, each site is unique. Each has a different solar orientation, topography, view corridors and vegetation.
Each site has its unique flaws and its unique assets. So explore your site. Ask yourself where and how this structure wants to rest on it. Determine where the views are, what the materials should be, how sunlight falls across the land and where the best spot is for locating the home.

2) Context:
While the site speaks to the natural world, the context speaks to what surrounds the home and includes what has been constructed by humans. Streets, existing houses, utilities, landscapes and driveways are all elements of your home’s context.

So if you decide to build or expand an existing home, you’ll have to decide how you’ll respond to the context. Should the new home be different or like its neighbors? Should the addition be different from or compatible with the existing structure? If you decide to be different, can you and your neighbors be accepting of that? If you decide to be compatible, do you slavishly copy or attempt to create something new but not so new?

Also, you’ll have to comply with zoning restrictions that can set where the structure is to be located and how large or tall it can be. And these zoning requirements could hinder how your new home will respond to views and the sun. So you will have to find that sweet spot where the home is what you want it to be, given the restrictions and opportunities of your property’s context.

3) Function:
The great 19th-century American architect "Louis Sullivan" coined the phrase “form follows function.”

But form really doesn’t follow function. It seems to me that form and function are intertwined like. Sometimes one leads; sometimes one follows. form and function each inform the other and both are very important to consider. This makes sense only as the form is shaped by the function that will be contained within. And the function, no matter how rigid, must adapt to the form that surrounds it.

So think of your building as a series of enclosed space (forms) that enable a series of activities (functions). Then determine if this form is the best for the function contained therein. Ask yourself if a better form will enable you to perform the function very well.

4) Structure and envelope:
A home must meet certain utility needs. It must be a place that keeps you cool in hot season and warm in cold season. It must be a place that keeps wind and rain out. With the home’s unifying structural system such as grid system in place, the other architectural elements, such as walls, are free to become what they want to be. They can be solid here, transparent there; sometimes fixed structures and sometimes movable screens.

5) Organization:
How will the floor plan of your home be organized?

Will it be a collection of rooms that have only a tenuous link to one another, or will it be a plan with a hierarchy of rooms that are linked by generous and thought-through circulation paths? These are important questions, because a home that has a plan with a rational layout and well-defined circulation can make you feel more organized in your daily routines.

What becomes really important in creating a well-organized and rational plan is how movement through the home is achieved. Generously sized hallways that connect inside to outside and room to room are key.

So we travel past, rather than through, a room on our way to another room. A rational circulation pattern ensures that our rooms become less like wide hallways where it’s difficult to do anything, and more like islands of activity where we are comfortable performing daily tasks.

So when you can, make the hallways wide and bathe them in light. And don’t forget to have light and views at the ends. Your home will be all the more enjoyable if you do.

6) Materials:
Whether they are local or from across the globe, rustic and hand-hewn or sleek and machine-made, the materials you use for your new building speak a lot about what you want your property to be. The materials you choose will also define the texture and color palette of your new home.

With so many choices, you will want to establish criteria. If the building is to be as “green” as possible, you will likely want to use what’s locally sourced or maybe what already exists on your building site. If you want as much transparency as possible, you will likely choose large sheets of a translucent material and give them little visible support. If you want the least possible maintenance, you will likely opt for manufactured materials such as fiber cement, Gypsum board, POP material, Extended Polystyrene Materials, Glass, pre-cast Concrete, bricks, sandcrete blocks, and plywoods/wall papers for interior walls partitions.

And you will also want to consider the intrinsic nature of materials. Will you opt for those that are permanent, looking like they have been there forever, or those that appear as if they could fly away and disappear at any moment? Or will you strive to combine these in a symphony of materials that is both static and dynamic at the same time?

7) Style:
Let’s end our list of big-picture items with the one that many of us address first. It’s simply a natural question to ask, “What style will the building be?” or to ask a potential architect, “What style do you design in?” Style is an incredibly emotional and defining issue. And while many architects don’t want to start a project with a predetermined style, most clients do.

Whether traditional or modern, classical or contemporary, historic or avant-garde, getting the home designed in the style you want and have the most love for is critical. This is not to say that you have to slavishly copy plans, elevations and details from a historic style. In fact, understanding what it is about a certain style that resonates with you and then reinterpreting that style to suit yourself will likely result in a far richer and more meaningful buildings.

So don’t shy away from talking about style. Rather, reach deep inside to learn who you are and why you like what you like, and create that unique place that’s all yours.

As a client, you may feel like you have little influence over whether your remodeling project stays on budget and hits the finish line on time. But you have more control than you might think. Remember, the scope of your project and the specific materials are up to you.
The key to keeping a project on budget and on schedule is nailing down the details before ground breaks. If you’ve never renovated or built a new home, you may not be sure about how the seed of an idea turns into a completed project. Here’s a road map for two early steps: putting together your renovation team and nailing down your project’s cost.

Who Will Help You Build Your Vision?

Before you meet with a professional, you should know what you want to accomplish. Is your goal to tear out your entire kitchen, Living room, toilet, or bedrooms and start afresh? Or are you looking for less costly upgrades, perhaps replacing cabinet in the kitchen, water-closet , water tub, and a complete change of the wall finishes? Or do you want to remodel your whole house?

Some homeowners know only that the current home isn’t working for them but aren’t sure how to fix it. If you are in this group, you may decide to work with professionals who can help you develop a plan and advise you on cost

What Exactly Do Pros Do?

The most important documents you will need are the construction plans. Your building plans must be approved by an agency to make sure the home is safe and meets local codes. So unless you are familiar with building codes and construction methods, you will want to hire a professional to draft these plans. Rules for which pros can draft plans vary by state (and in some states by county or municipality) and with the size and type of project. Look to the local building department or the professionals you contact to explain the rules in your area.

Each profession has its special emphasis. Architects and interior designers create concepts and draw plans. General contractors build the plans. Landscape architects create designs and plans for outdoor spaces. Design-build firms offer both design and building services, some with in-house architects, others by contracting the design work out.

Ask About Options

Many pros offer a range of services, from initial design to project management, which may be priced as options or charged at per-hour rates. For just one example, architects can provide evaluation and planning services, which can involve site analysis and selection, economic feasibility studies and helping you determine what you want, need and are willing to pay for.

Architecture firms offer design services, including documents that define the space’s shape, and they may work closely with engineers as needed in relationship to the structural elements. They also may offer construction management services, involving consulting and coordinating with the various agencies overseeing your project, or manage the bidding process when you search for the right contractor. These are just a handful of the services your architect may provide, so it is worth asking about pricing and what is involved as you shop around. Also, there could be some overlap in the options of services provided by the different pros, so be sure that you are clear on what you need and what services each will perform. Even if you are not planning to hire a professional to design or manage your renovation, you may want to hire a pro on a per-hour basis to help you refine your ideas. “A small percentage of upfront money with a professional can really help clarify the scope of the project and the budget before you get too involved.

Select Your First Team Member

When hiring your first design team member, you can start with a builder, architect, designer, design-build firm or remodeler, depending on your needs and priorities. If you already know a contractor whose work you like, he or she will probably have a list of architects and interior designers to recommend. That is also true if you start with other pros. ensure you see their previous projects completed.

Narrow your list down to your favorites and then interview a few people. Ask for and check references, and drive out to see past projects. Also, see how it might feel to work together. make sure you have a rapport with the professional. You should find out whether they listen and whether they are good at communicating.

Be Up Front About Your Number

It’s helpful to be honest about your budget with the professionals you contact. Pros typically work with clients whose budgets are within a certain range.
Some homeowners pay a high-end designer to create the initial plan, only to realize that the products and materials suggested are out of range.

Homeowners without constrained budgets may be afraid to be too forthcoming for fear that pros will push them to spend more than they would like. That’s where checking references and finding people you can communicate with comes in. In the process of vetting the pros you are considering, you will find reputable people who will not push you but use your target number to help guide your plan.

How to save time, money and your sanity when building new or remodeling a property.


Imagine walking into your newly built or remodeled home and seeing it exactly as you had imagined it at the start of construction: the windows are all in the right places, the flooring is the right color, and the kitchen cabinets are a perfect fit.

Now allow me to pinch you on the arm, because for most people, reality is often different from that idyllic scenario. You might see missing trim around the bedroom doors or wonder why that small change in the kitchen cost so much. Looking back, you might ask, “And why did we have to hire another subcontractor to finish the bathroom?”

Of course, there are things you just can’t plan for, but there’s plenty that you can. Costly changes and additional time-consuming work can be kept to a minimum if you fully understand what you are building before you start. By understanding the construction process, being part of the team and keeping a firm grip on the budget, your construction project can result in the home of your dreams.

1. Don’t Skimp on Design Help

Given the busy lives most of us lead, we don’t have the time to research every type of technology and material that might be used on a construction project. Use professionals to save some of the time that would otherwise be spent learning and perfecting the process.

Architects are trained not just to make a project pretty but to match building systems, thermal envelopes and other properties to the client’s needs. They have a broad, up-to-date knowledge of these systems as well as of materials and processes for a wide variety of project areas.

Now, I sympathize with the awful feelings associated with a project’s going over budget. I’ve been there; I’ve gotten that dreaded call from the contractor that the structural and mechanical designs are in conflict. And dealt with preexisting conditions that the contractor hadn’t anticipated.

A design pro can provide guidance on what team members will likely be required for the project. And not just for the big ones, like a full custom home construction. Smaller projects like additions and remodels also can benefit from a pro’s expertise. Architects can usually recommend other team members, too, such as engineers.

Your budget might be tight, but I’ve seen time and time again that trying to save money on design actually can cost homeowners far more in the end, in frustration.

Homeowners often underestimate the cost and complexity of a remodel or new home project. The cost of the design work on a project is something that homeowners may consider skimping on to save money, but we find that the best way to avoid problems in construction is to invest time with your designer or architect up front to think about the construction process during design. This takes far less time than fixing mistakes that happen when the walls are going up.

Although it isn’t often pointed out, a good designer or architect depends on the client throughout the design and planning process as much as the client depends on the designer.

2. Become Part of the Team

Most people spend more time planning their next vacation, travels, and parties than they do planning their house project. Not that planning a house project has to be a full-time job. An architect or a designer can help you understand your role in the project as well as the contributions of other team members. That means participating in the process from the start so that you stay fully up to speed with what is happening throughout the project.

I’ve seen clients assume that I know what’s going on in their head and are surprised when something comes out different than what they were expecting. Being part of the team also means becoming familiar with some of the ways your team members communicate. The vast majority of projects use two-dimensional drawings (as well as written specifications) to communicate a homeowner’s intent to the construction team. This documentation is used to create three-dimensional structures.

This sounds simple enough, but there are many chances for misunderstandings each time a team member reads the documentation. On a recent project, the foundation contractor misread the drawings and built the formwork too narrow on part of the foundation. During a site visit, we were able to catch it before the concrete was poured, saving the time and frustration of having to chip out all that concrete. Saving our clients from waste is very important to us.

You can ask your team to assist you so you understand what is being communicated at each stage of the project. The best opportunity for this is during your design meetings. Remember, if you don’t understand something, ask. It’s better to get everyone on the same page early before a structure gets built that sticks out like a sore thumb.

You should also talk with the architect and/or contractor before the project starts so you can make sure that everyone agrees on the approach to how the building will be put together. There are evolving areas of construction, especially regarding the building envelope, that contractors and the architect should resolve before the project commences.

3. Establish Your Goals and Refer Back to Them Frequently

Be ready to suggest ways to get what you want while avoiding potential problems down the road. If you can create a list of priorities, then when you are faced with challenging decisions during construction, which is pretty much guaranteed, you and your team will be able to look back at your prioritized list to really focus on what will get you closer to your goal instead of what may be a costly distraction.

Things like prioritizing morning light in the kitchen or consciously forgoing a walk-in closet for a larger main bedroom can save the time and cost of having to move walls and making other expensive changes in the middle of construction.

4. Establish Your Budget and Add at Least 10 Percent

Be sure to set aside a construction contingency for critical items — and don’t be tempted to use it just to put in an upgraded cooktop! Due to the complexity of the construction process, unforeseen issues will come up. Without a contingency, you might find yourself short of cash when you really need it.

Without a contingency to tackle urgent situation, we might have Issues that will lead to postponement of the project delay for a while.

5. Don’t Get Attached to an Optimistic Timeline

Ideally, your team members will take the time to carefully plan and build your dream house most efficiently. Even if they are not putting in hours specifically on your project, the designer and others will likely be thinking about your project in the back of their mind. It takes time to work out the details of a project, so if you need to get the project designed and built very quickly, there might be situations that won’t be fully resolved in the design phase. There will always be elements that will need resolving onsite, but taking the time to do as much as possible on paper can reduce costs.

It’s also tempting to look at the best-case scenario for construction and think that it will then be the norm for your project. Just like with a cost contingency, though, you’d be well served to build in a time contingency as well. As much as it might seem possible to get into the house on a certain date if all the stars align, realistically there is a chance that the project could go late for a whole variety of reasons (laid out previously). Do yourself a favor: Have a backup plan in case you can’t roll up in the moving van on your exact date.

6. Consider Construction Implications Before You Start

During a recent remodel, one homeowner (who was working without a designer) realized that opening up the main floor of her house required a structural engineer, which caused delays as she searched for an engineer and he did his drawings.

So it’s important to understand what the construction implications will be to get the space you want. An architect would have been able to point this out before construction started and would have avoided the stress and extra costs involved in undoing some work in the middle of the project.

7. Communicate Frequently With Your Team

A weekly or biweekly status report can help identify areas of concern. This should be done at the onset of the project and continue through construction. The construction phase is where there are likely to be changes due to site conditions, availability of products or other factors. Be sure to get all changes documented in writing; sign off on both the changes and the cost to stay in control and to ensure that all team members are up-to-date at every stage of the building process.

In construction the document is usually called a change order; it explains the nature of the change and the cost. Sometimes the changes are called extras, because they are additional to what was agreed on in the construction contract.

For example, a homeowner might decide to move the location of a door, so the designer will assess the impact of the change with the general contractor and draw up a change order for review by the client. If the client is OK with the amount, then he or she would ideally sign the physical copy (often confirmation via email is used) and the work would begin.

Where to begin when designing a building property or residential home designs? Think about your Site, its Context and the Story or Narrative you want it to tell.


Whether building a new residential apartment or renovating an existing one, construction is a journey that starts with the big picture and then winds its way to the details. From big to small, the steps involved in creating a home deserve as much attention as can be lavished on them. Doing so enables us to go beyond creating mere shelter. We get to create something that’s meaningful and lasting for ourselves, Clients and the future.

When we look at the big things, we look at things like site, context, function, structure and envelope, organization, materials and style. We set the tone for what we want and establish a basis for making decisions as we go. In a sense, we create an outline for our narrative that ensures the story, our home, is the best we can make it, whether our budget is modest or grand.

1) Site:
The first consideration is the site, the place where the home will rest for many, many years to come. Like people, each site is unique. Each has a different solar orientation, topography, view corridors and vegetation.
Each site has its unique flaws and its unique assets. So explore your site. Ask yourself where and how this structure wants to rest on it. Determine where the views are, what the materials should be, how sunlight falls across the land and where the best spot is for locating the home.

2) Context:
While the site speaks to the natural world, the context speaks to what surrounds the home and includes what has been constructed by humans. Streets, existing houses, utilities, landscapes and driveways are all elements of your home’s context.

So if you decide to build or expand an existing home, you’ll have to decide how you’ll respond to the context. Should the new home be different or like its neighbors? Should the addition be different from or compatible with the existing structure? If you decide to be different, can you and your neighbors be accepting of that? If you decide to be compatible, do you slavishly copy or attempt to create something new but not so new?

Also, you’ll have to comply with zoning restrictions that can set where the structure is to be located and how large or tall it can be. And these zoning requirements could hinder how your new home will respond to views and the sun. So you will have to find that sweet spot where the home is what you want it to be, given the restrictions and opportunities of your property’s context.

3) Function:
The great 19th-century American architect "Louis Sullivan" coined the phrase “form follows function.”

But form really doesn’t follow function. It seems to me that form and function are intertwined like. Sometimes one leads; sometimes one follows. form and function each inform the other and both are very important to consider. This makes sense only as the form is shaped by the function that will be contained within. And the function, no matter how rigid, must adapt to the form that surrounds it.

So think of your building as a series of enclosed space (forms) that enable a series of activities (functions). Then determine if this form is the best for the function contained therein. Ask yourself if a better form will enable you to perform the function very well.

4) Structure and envelope:
A home must meet certain utility needs. It must be a place that keeps you cool in hot season and warm in cold season. It must be a place that keeps wind and rain out. With the home’s unifying structural system such as grid system in place, the other architectural elements, such as walls, are free to become what they want to be. They can be solid here, transparent there; sometimes fixed structures and sometimes movable screens.

5) Organization:
How will the floor plan of your home be organized?

Will it be a collection of rooms that have only a tenuous link to one another, or will it be a plan with a hierarchy of rooms that are linked by generous and thought-through circulation paths? These are important questions, because a home that has a plan with a rational layout and well-defined circulation can make you feel more organized in your daily routines.

What becomes really important in creating a well-organized and rational plan is how movement through the home is achieved. Generously sized hallways that connect inside to outside and room to room are key.

So we travel past, rather than through, a room on our way to another room. A rational circulation pattern ensures that our rooms become less like wide hallways where it’s difficult to do anything, and more like islands of activity where we are comfortable performing daily tasks.

So when you can, make the hallways wide and bathe them in light. And don’t forget to have light and views at the ends. Your home will be all the more enjoyable if you do.

6) Materials:
Whether they are local or from across the globe, rustic and hand-hewn or sleek and machine-made, the materials you use for your new building speak a lot about what you want your property to be. The materials you choose will also define the texture and color palette of your new home.

With so many choices, you will want to establish criteria. If the building is to be as “green” as possible, you will likely want to use what’s locally sourced or maybe what already exists on your building site. If you want as much transparency as possible, you will likely choose large sheets of a translucent material and give them little visible support. If you want the least possible maintenance, you will likely opt for manufactured materials such as fiber cement, Gypsum board, POP material, Extended Polystyrene Materials, Glass, pre-cast Concrete, bricks, sandcrete blocks, and plywoods/wall papers for interior walls partitions.

And you will also want to consider the intrinsic nature of materials. Will you opt for those that are permanent, looking like they have been there forever, or those that appear as if they could fly away and disappear at any moment? Or will you strive to combine these in a symphony of materials that is both static and dynamic at the same time?

7) Style:
Let’s end our list of big-picture items with the one that many of us address first. It’s simply a natural question to ask, “What style will the building be?” or to ask a potential architect, “What style do you design in?” Style is an incredibly emotional and defining issue. And while many architects don’t want to start a project with a predetermined style, most clients do.

Whether traditional or modern, classical or contemporary, historic or avant-garde, getting the home designed in the style you want and have the most love for is critical. This is not to say that you have to slavishly copy plans, elevations and details from a historic style. In fact, understanding what it is about a certain style that resonates with you and then reinterpreting that style to suit yourself will likely result in a far richer and more meaningful buildings.

So don’t shy away from talking about style. Rather, reach deep inside to learn who you are and why you like what you like, and create that unique place that’s all yours.
