Home Design Services: What to Consider Before You Build

Home is everyone’s most comfortable escape from all the activities that consume most of their time. There’s a certain relief in looking at your own home’s calming aesthetic, while at the same time your need for practical, functional space is also met. Building a home always comes down to the owner’s preference, and naturally there are rational considerations around how many floors your home design should have that’s the right fit for you.

Consider These Aspects When Meeting Your Home Design Provider

The questions below will help paint a picture of what an ideal home looks like for you.

• How many people will live in your home?
• Their age range
• Your property size and what views surround your neighborhood?
• What budget range are you working with?

Whether it’s a 1-story, 2-story, or taller home, in whatever style — it’s no problem. Studio JAJ is ready to guide you in bringing your dream home to life.

Cost and Property Size Aspect

Which do you prefer — a wide or a tall building? It turns out a 2-story building can actually save you money, since it minimizes foundation and roof-structure costs. With a 2-story home structure, the rooms don’t need to be spread out widely and can instead sit above one another.

Even more efficiently, a 2-story home condition can reduce the amount of plumbing and wiring that needs to be run throughout the house. That said, a 2-story home naturally needs more HVAC units compared to a 1-story home, which tends to have better natural air circulation, making that home type feel cooler.

If you’re a small family of 3–4 members with a fairly minimal plot of land, you can certainly optimize your use of space with a minimalist concept, and as a result, your costs won’t hurt your budget.

Home Design Aspect

A 1-story home is more popular in the market and can be arranged with an enticing open-floor concept. This home design keeps your home bright, especially when designed with high ceilings. The space also looks far grander and more luxurious since it reduces the use of partitions, making it feel like one shared communal space. There’s no thumping of footsteps or noise above your head either.

If your land is limited, pay attention to your paint color choice and use bright colors as much as possible so your home gets the sense of openness you’re after. Also use simple supporting furniture that still adds to your home’s beauty.

Unlike a 1-story home, which needs stair access and more HVAC, a 2-story home offers more spatial capacity. This is a benefit for those living with a large family. Its design options are just as varied. Another advantage is that you can still preserve your privacy using partitions, as usual.

Accessibility Aspect

Once again, for long-term considerations, think about the age range of the family members who’ll occupy your home. Stairs are certainly difficult for the elderly, and can also pose a risk for young children who love to run around. It’s clear that a 1-story home offers advantages in terms of accessibility and mobility. Another benefit is ease of evacuation in an emergency.

Home Maintenance Aspect

It’s common knowledge that a 1-story home design requires far lower maintenance compared to a home with stairs. This is because it’s easier to arrange, since you can access, check, and reach every space on that single floor for cleaning.

Conclusion

Think carefully about your home’s design for the comfort of everyone who’ll live there. Discuss it with them and do a bit of research before making your final decision. Truly, there’s no definitive answer about how many floors makes for a better, more luxurious-looking home. Every home type has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.
