Let us develop a reasonable budget and provide options so you get as much of their dreams and goals actually designed and built. For a new home, Wolfgang enjoys setting them "naturally" into the lot resulting in a connecting view or feel to natural features such as lakes, hills, skylines, or sun exposures. Conversely, many homes are built on "tight" lots, where there is not much allowance for movement. In these cases, changes are considered on a microclimate level to make the home feel natural and "easy" as possible and not forced. For remodeling, develop passion for individual projects as a basement, kitchen, or bathroom and also to have the vision to make it feel like a seamless part of the original home and not an afterthought or addition. Basements, basement ideas and basement design: Why not create a destination? Most basements seem boxy and generic, but working with the architecture, we can create a specific feel. An example of this was a basement with barely enough headspace to get down the stairs. We worked with the lighting, and the feel and created a sense of a little drama and expanse. Really captured the homeowner's dreams in a tight space. Kitchens, kitchen ideas and kitchen design: Cover all the work triangles and accommodate the typical number of people working in and using the kitchen. Kitchens have also evolved to become a very social area and very fun. So, cover all the functional aspects first and then trick it up and make it social and fun. On bathrooms, bathroom ideas and bathroom design: Wow, this can be fun. First, cover all the functional aspects like outlets, storage, utility areas, shower heads, hair driers, towels and the like. Then cover "her" wants and "his" wants. Maybe it's a "contemporary lifestyle" feel with more open floor plans, inviting a fun, social aspect, while retaining traditional style. So, it's a fusion of these two that produces the feel people want. Think of Europe. The homes are often 300 years old, but they are ultra modern inside. Be free to think, to design, to create.
