현대 주택의 열린 대형 거실의 전망

If you?re planning to begin the process of designing and building a new home in 2025, it?s important to understand where the industry is headed. Below are four directions for custom home design in the coming year, all of which are factors to keep in mind when hiring an architect to design your home. 

  1. Predictability Through Innovation 

Traditional building methods can leave homeowners vulnerable to rising material and labor costs and preventable project delays. Consider working with an architecture practice that challenges traditional methods to increase quality control. At Turkel Design, we continue to refine a 체계화된 프로세스 that leverages the precision of panelized prefabrication. This builds predictability into the cost, timeline, and quality of each home, reducing the risks associated with custom architecture. 

Our process harnesses technology at every step of the way. For example, we employ 3D scanning to collect accurate data about your building site and to help visualize how your home will look on the land. This helps ensure a finished home that reflects the design you want.  

  1. 지속 가능한 재료 

Durable, natural materials can increase the sustainability of your custom home. Leading-edge architects are using materials such as 공학 목재, which uses byproducts of the lumber-manufacturing process. Not only does engineered wood benefit the environment by reducing waste, it?s more durable than regular lumber, neither shrinking nor warping over its lifetime. It can be engineered to precise tolerances, which makes it a better choice for our prefabricated panels.  

  1. Smarter Use of Space 

Skilled architects know that bigger is not always better. More and more smart homeowners are embracing this time-tested principle by rejecting the kind of over-scaled homes that waste space, cost more to build, and use more energy to heat, cool, and maintain. Homeowners should seek out an architecture practice that prioritizes thoughtful use of space. By determining multiple uses for each space, we ensure that all our homes live larger than they are.    

  1. Bringing the Outdoors In 

Good design leads to better living. Modern residential architecture is known for leveraging the health and wellness benefits of fresh air and natural light. Are these high priorities for your custom home?

Forward-Looking Process, Homes Built to Last 

While you look ahead to the coming year, it?s important to avoid gimmicks or design trends. You want a home that feels timeless, is built to last, and ultimately improves your life. Selecting the right practice to design your home is a critical step to living the life you want?make sure that their vision and values align with yours.  

At Turkel Design, we continue to refine a process based on decades of practice and learning?a process that?s moving the field of custom home design forward. 문의하기 어떻게 살고 싶은지 논의하기 위해.
