Things Residential Architects Know That You Don't

Here at Integrated Designs & Associates, when it comes to designing your dream home, we have a finger on the pulse. Certain design features are particularly hot right now and we can help you integrate them seamlessly into your house plans. After all, Birmingham is the perfect place to build your dream home.

Sustainable Living

Nowadays, many individuals are aiming for more sustainable living spaces. With the wild changes in oil and gas pricing, it's no surprise that a lower carbon footprint is even more desirable now than ever before. Much of this has to do with the house's design and this is where architecture is important. A home that is designed to be energy efficient and to use as much of its natural environment as possible is a hot topic these days. This is another trend that will likely never lose its shine. 

Natural Light

Big windows and skylights are in, as well as anything that helps enhance the natural light within the house. Natural daylight has been shown to lift moods and it is considered the perfect lighting for a home. If you want your space to be as beautiful as possible, then you'll appreciate the techniques architects use to create more natural illumination throughout the house. It also makes a big difference when you're ready to sell. 

Beautiful Bathrooms

More and more people are finding themselves stressed out and a nice shower or bath is the perfect way to relax. Bathrooms are receiving more important than ever due to this. You can expect to have people wanting beautiful, spacious bathrooms that are well-designed with everything in the right place.

Open Spaces

In addition to the natural light, people are gravitating toward large, open spaces in their homes. When rooms are separated, they are still given proportions or designs that help them feel spacious. It's well known that a spacious bathroom or kitchen can really make the sale, so it's important to include these types of trends in your home design.

Automated Homes

Smart homes are becoming more popular by the minute and that means your new home should be designed to fit the trend. It's something that will not be going away anytime soon, so planning for the future is essential. If you wish to sell the building in the future, you'll need to consider that the buyers may want a smart home.
