Every new build is different based on the location (ours is a skinny long lot ending in a river), the needs/size of the family, and of course the homeowners budget (normally calculated per square foot).
#Weird west floor plans how to
We finished the initial floor plan months ago in order to even submit for engineering and thus permits to start, but I wasn’t sure how to blog about the floor plan in a way that is useful to others. First Off, Where Are We At With The River House? But you’ll see through this process the benefits of building something new. Ultimately we want chickens and alpacas, so farm it is. And right now if I had to choose between living in Ken’s new construction river house or our vintage remodeled farmhouse it would be a real tossup. I LOVE MY JOB right now because I’m learning SO MUCH. Designing both a new build and a historic remodel at the same time is a true new level of education. The new build/dress requires finding the best players to make sure that if you are starting from scratch it will be worth it. The vintage dress has a lot more risks and guess what? It can cost just as much as the renovation (true story! hahahaha!!!), but you hopefully have a historical and sentimental connection to it (plus it is hopefully better for the earth). Taking the time to do something ‘new’ means just that – you need to do something NEW (or else just buy one off the shelf) which is why architects are so hell-bent on moving design forward, not recreating an older style home. The custom dress on the other hand will likely fit you like a glove if done right, but the beginning concepts for it might be daunting and getting it perfect isn’t always easy in the planning stages – and if you hire the wrong seamstress it could be a disaster.
For instance, the vintage dress might unravel once you start unstitching the threads, possibly even disintegrating in your hands, but even that dust has so much history and soul (oh dear, not really selling it here).
The difference between a renovation and a new build is similar to altering an antique wedding dress versus having one custom-made.
