It All Starts With A Dream...
a dream of a home, a home you may have seen, experienced, or just dreamt of. A custom built home, no matter how large, is the ultimate tool for a well lived life.
No less than Robert A.M. Stern recognizes that the typical American house reveals in its design subliminal and overt expressions of the realities and myths of our individual and collective experiences.
"Virtually every aspect of the American single family house--defines who we are as well as who and what we would like to be."
Stern goes on to note that "Architecture should be an affirmation of place--that is the physical product of a truly environmentally responsive approach."
Your dream begins with a place, and a sense of that place, both externally aware and internally focused.
This tome is a great way to stoke the dream-making process.
Architectural styles are very portable--a drive through a modern neighborhood is a catalog of architectural voices.
The numbers behind this dream? All things considered, your total development cost ( everything other than the land) will run anywhere from $350 to $1000 per square foot in the areas we work in, and the average new home is roughly 2,400 square feet.
What's your dream?
