Southern Classic Design


Southern Classic Design Process & Philosophy

Proper home design should be about the balanced matrimonial site, shape, function, durability and price. The right combination of these factors are crucial in the planning of a large home.

Site
A home site has many inherent properties such as size, shape, topography, views, orientation, and drainage applications - as well as the location of surrounding houses and trees. Each of these may limit or enhance a design and should be considered early in the planning process. Although we can not control the characteristics of a site, we certainly can give the home plans to maximize its use and enjoyment. Home sites are static - designs are infinite.

Shape
Form of a home, or what it looks and feels like the inside and out is extremely important to most homeowners. This is what makes us "feel good home" and have a great impact on our sense of style. Form or a home begins with its overall massing and space planning and ending with the smallest detail and decoration. The goal is to capture the essence of the owner's style using classic design features. This allows the home to remain fresh and elegant, while aging gracefully.

Our plans are much more than conceptual renderings. Every aspect is drawn to scale and fully dimensioned. Profiles and information are level-specific and is equipped to ensure that the desired appearance and proportion, inside and out, will actually be achieved. We are proud not only in our design, but also the quality of our plans.

Feature
The function of a home or how it should be used is perhaps the most important design factor, but is often overshadowed by other factors such as style or cost. Prolonged use and daily livability should be considered. A long-term home should be able to support the changing needs of the baby to have children all the way through the empty services phase. It may be necessary to bring the optimal design for a phase in order to strengthen the livability another. This may involve decisions on the location of the master suite, the availability of playroom or functions needed for a future pool. Whatever the long-term needs, the design of the home should also improve their daily life.

All of our designs, both large and small, function properly bedroom separation, larger hallways, wider door openings and kitchen work. Indeed, all our designs feature more generous "minimum size" throughout. Closet doors, windows, bedroom items, and the door swing areas are designed to allow optimal furniture placement and turnover. All our presentation drawings include furniture layouts to scale and to illustrate how a particular place, may be used. Whether you are looking for a starter measures home, a family home, a vacation home or an empty home services, questions about the functioning and livability should be weighted heavily in the planning process.

Durability
The shelf life of a home often determines whether we will spend our leisure time and enjoy the resources or maintenance. It starts with a proper structural design to maximize stability and give the impression of a "permanent home". It also tag design included inputs and Porches to shed water and weather away, choice of materials and products that can handle the elements. Homes designed and built for longevity may cost a little more up front but are much cheaper in the long run. More durable homes cheaper to maintain and also have higher resale values. Even questions about the durability and livability are usually strengthened simultaneously. The most loved and wanted back, like everything else, tend to be those that require less maintenance. Our homes are designed to stand the test of time both physically and aesthetically.

Costs
The cost of a home affected by all these design factors. It is certainly more economical to build on a flat dry place than on a steep or wet site. The style and features of a home, the materials used and the effectiveness of the design will also have a major impact on the total cost. As you can see, we love to design houses, small and big, with plenty of Porches and garages, classic detail and gracious interior dimensions. We also wish to use the tried and true materials and we do not skimp on structural elements such as foundations and framing. Efficiency and value of our plans are not made by simply delete functions ... it is created by offering these features in a true economic and buildable format. Because the costs will affect all decisions in the design and construction, it is important to understand how specific elements actually affect the cost and to adopt a realistic budget early in the planning stage.

Balance
Determining the right balance of these factors as they relate to your individual needs will have a major impact on livability value and enjoyment of your home. Choosing a quality design with an excellent set of plans is key to building a great home!

Tip 45 Desain Rumah

Tip 45 Desain Rumah, Kumpulan Gambar Denah Rumah 1 Lantai (110 sd 160m2)

6 Mei 2008 di Annahape, Desain Arsitektur, Rumah Minimalis | Tags: contoh denah rumah, contoh gambar rumah, Denah Rumah, Desain Arsitektur, desain rumah, desain rumah idaman, Desain Rumah Minimalis, Desain Rumah Tinggal, gambar rumah, Layout rumah idaman Rumah, Rumah Minimalis

Anda mungkin dalam mendesign rumah. Karena harus menyesuaikan dengan dana, Anda memilih rumah ukuran sedang antara 100 hingga 150 m2. Dan sekarang anda sedang mencari contoh denah rumah sesuai dengan kebutuhan anda. Biasanya yang dibutuhkan 2 atau 3 kamar tidur, 2 km mandi, ruang tamu, dapur, ruang makan dan garasi. Satu lantai rumah.

Mungkin beberapa denah rumah di bawah ini dapat membantu.

1-lantai rumah memiliki beberapa keunggulan. Biaya pasti lebih murah daripada bangunan 2 lantai, karena biaya struktur rumah lebih sedikit. Selain itu, mobilitas anggota keluarga yang berada di lantai, akan menciptakan keintiman. Untuk orang tua, 1-lantai rumah adalah pilihan yang tepat, untuk menghindari kesulitan naik dan turun tangga.

Denah ini saya ambil dari familyhomeplan.com. Dan oleh karena itu besarnya sketsa dalam ukuran kaki (kaki). Hanya membantu, saya kirimkan informasi yang panjang, dan luasannya dalam ukuran meter. Sedangkan ukuran ruangan masih ukuran asli kaki. Jika Anda ingin mengubah dalam ukuran meter, Anda cukup dengan mengkalikannya faktor 0,3084. Misalnya, 30 feets, × 30 = 0.30.84 = 9,14 m.

Berikut adalah beberapa sketsa saya pilihkan untuk Anda.

Peta Wilayah Rumah 113,7 m2 (11 × 10m)

Peta Wilayah House 130 m2 (15,2 × 8,5 m)

Peta Wilayah Rumah 140,5 m2 (16,5 × 8,5 m)

Peta Wilayah Rumah 140,5 m2 (16,5 × 8,5 m)

Peta Wilayah rumah 140,5 m2 (16,5 × 8,5 m)

Peta Wilayah rumah 154,8 m2 (15,1 × 10,2 m)

Peta Wilayah rumah 159,3 m2 (14,9 × 10,7 m)

Peta Wilayah rumah 161,1 m2 (15,5 × 10,4 m)

Jangan lupa, cetak biru yang dibuat oleh arsiteknya untuk keluarga di Amerika Serikat. Dalam banyak kasus, denah tersebut belum memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga di Indonesia pada umumnya. Keluarga di Indonesia, biasanya memerlukan tambahan kamar pembantu. Selain itu dapur kotor, karena sering masak. Cuci dan jemur tempat, terutama jika Anda tidak menggunakan mesin cuci sekaligus pengering.

Oleh karena itu, sketsa di atas digunakan hanya sebagai acuan. Selebihnya, sesuaikan layout ruang sesuai kebiasaan keluarga Anda. Selain itu, ketika membuat fasade atau tampilan rumah Anda dapat membuat pilihan mereka sendiri, apakah minimalis, etnis atau Mediterania. Tapi yang penting cocok dengan iklim tropis. (Baca tip 43, rumah untuk daerah tropis).

Never Underestimate the Impact of a Clean Home When Selling

A clean home, simply put, gives buyers the immediate impression that you take pride in homeownership. And that first impression is often the one that will sell your Atlanta home. Although your fireplace, swimming pool and master suite will help sell your home, it is often the smallest details that sellers overlook – yet buyers do not - when selling their home. Your clean Atlanta home speaks volumes about yourself as the seller and about the condition of your home. A buyer will likely equate your clean home to how well you care for your home, and that can mean a lot when it comes time to sell your home.

So, what should you be focusing on when it comes time to sell your Atlanta home?


The Floor
A home's flooring is often ignored when it comes time for cleaning, yet often makes a big difference in a buyer's overall impression of a home. First things first: either rent a good carpet steam cleaner or pay a carpet cleaning company to thoroughly clean your carpets. Stained carpets are the easiest way to turn buyers off! Next, tackle the grout lines on your ceramic tile floors, and replace the grout if it is too dirty to clean. If your linoleum is sporting ground-in dirt, it may be time to replace it, as well. Your hardwood floors should be in immaculate condition. Gleaming hardwood floors are a huge selling point; scuffed, worn and damaged ones are not.


The Walls
Dirty, damaged walls might as well have large bulls-eyes drawn on them, as they are often immediately noticed the moment buyers walk into the room. Scrub down all your walls to remove stains, smudges or dirt marks. If the walls are too dirty, paint them! A can of paint and an afternoon of hard work will surely pay off in the long run.


The Windows
A buyer should marvel at your sprawling backyard when they look out the window, not dirt and grime. Now would be an excellent time to either clean the windows yourself – inside and out – or hire a window cleaning company to do it for you. Windows, including the window sills and runners, should be given immediate attention before listing your home for sale.


Kitchen Appliances
Your kitchen appliances, particularly if they are staying with the home, should be sparkling clean. Both the outside surface of the appliances, as well as the inside (yes, that means scrubbing out the oven and tackling the mess in the refrigerator) should be thoroughly cleaned.


The Bathroom
It is a fact that home buyers will check every square inch of your Atlanta home, including the bathtub! Be prepared by scrubbing your bathroom from top to bottom in anticipation of a showing or open house.


Cleanliness is only one of the first steps that contributes to selling a home. Tina Fountain Realtors creates a customized strategy to sell each individual home. If you are interested in selling your metro Atlanta home, please visit www.tinafountain.com/ for more information.

Snowed in

: : my family just arrived from Sweden. they were lucky to be the last plane to land in Boston today. The snow's been falling since Friday afternoon and we're completely snowed in. So, today we'll spend keeping warm inside, watching the snow fall outside. Feels like Christmas is here!
God Jul!

our couch: : before & after


before. in progress & after photos

: : Iz and I spent thanksgiving weekend re-upholstering our couch that we bought for $50 on craigslist. It was custom made in the 70's for the family that we bought it from. we thought it had nice modern, clean lines and decided to re-upholster it ourselves. With no previous experience I thought it would take us weeks. We did it in pretty much 3 days, there were a few final touch ups that had to be made the weekend after, but we are both VERY happy with the result. a little proud even..... we think it came out really nice. *smile*. it used to be in a green/gold tweed fabric, it is now in a natural/off white canvas fabric. it used to be smelly, it now feels clean and fresh!
: : hello : : work has taken over my life at the moment as everything has to get done before the holidays. I apologize for not spending much time here on the blog with all of you . I promise I will be back, we're almost done.... : :
see you in a bit!

pattern inspiration



: : when I'm looking for graphic inspiration I always browse through .print & pattern. This week I'm feeling particularly inspired by these patterns. all can be found on.print & pattern. they've all got elements of traditional folkart, and lots of great details. I am particularly fond of the plate with the curvy, bold pattern.

thanksgiving recap


: : the weekend is almost here again, and I never got a chance to post some photos from our thanksgiving weekend. it was absolutely glorious to have a few days off, with no commitments, no times to keep, just taking the day as it came (maybe that is only a Swedish expression).

we had a delicious dinner on thanksgiving. master chef .iz. cooked up delicious chicken breasts, served over Israeli couscous on a bacon, date puree complimented by a red wine reduction. heavenly. way better than turkey dinner!

A butternut squash, pomegranate, walnut salad was served on the side, together with delicious pumpkin cranberry bread [lena corwin's recipe].

Prime Land Located on New Paces Ferry Road!!

Tina Fountain Realtors recently listed +/- 0.93 of an acre lot located in the heart of Vinings. This type of lot is very hard to find in this location. The land has a high abundance of trees and a small stream running through it. This lot is perfect for building a home since it is located on a private cul-de-sac and within walking distance to dining, work, entertainment, and Vinings Jubilee shopping. This land is also located in the award winning Cobb County School District and zoned to Teasley Elementary School, Campbell Middle School, and Campbell High School. Vinings real estate is in demand and it's rare to find vacant lots suitable for building.

H&M home




: : Swedish fashion giant H&M is releasing a line of home accessories, H&M Home!! I was so excited to hear the news! Apparently it's been in the works for a while, I must have been out of the loop because I didn't know anything about it until my friend .erica. emailed me this weekend and told me that .frida. at .husmusen. had posted the news. Read more about it on .husmusen's blog.

I have no idea what to expect from an H&M home line. Will it be similar to IKEA? and will they sell in the US too?
