Good design is the result of strong, simple concepts that give meaning to a home’s shape, form and materials. When you look to your site for inspiration, these ideas often arise very naturally. A site is composed of many things: topography, plants, trees, regional and local climate, surrounding structures, water bodies and zoning and code regulations. Each site has very specific solar orientations, views (good and bad) and often a very explicit character. Each one of these areas is an opportunity to generate a meaningful conceptual approach for your home design — a way to devise its shape, layout, form and materials.
In this video I discuss the strategies architects use to find design inspiration and derive meaningful architecture from a home’s site.
