Benefits of having an open floor plan in your custom homes

 

People love an open floor plan for their home because they forge the interiors with exteriors. These plans add a feeling of spaciousness to the same area, allow natural light to enter, and create a safe environment for social activities.

 

When the indoor and outdoor areas merge, you enjoy a different type of living space. Your new home can use this option with an advantage. We spell some of these advantages here.

 

1. Bring in the Outdoors

Linking the outdoor area to the indoor area is often a part of building luxury homes. This enables opening the indoor space to a spacious outdoor veranda. A house with a veranda fetches higher sale value besides adding more space and providing a sheltered area. Naturally, you also get protection from the sun and help reduce your air-conditioning costs. Designers suggest various ways to integrate the areas, such as the use of similar flooring for areas as well as sliding shoji screens or wall to ceiling glass doors. The expansive space is excellent as a relaxation or entertainment area.

 

2. Plenty of Natural Light

Integrating seamlessly indoor and outdoor spaces provides you a great benefit of filling the space with light as walls disappear. You can enjoy your garden view sitting inside the house through the glass windows.

 

3. Inviting Spaces

If you love to entertain guests, opening up the indoor space to outdoor space creates an excellent atmosphere for a party. You need not feel stuck to the kitchen area while cooking; enjoy fresh air and conversation with your guests. Your guests feel cosy and relaxed in an integrated indoor-outdoor space.  

 

4. You Can Create a More Family-orientated Home

If you cook for your family, you already know there is that feeling of being isolated while you prepare the meals. Perhaps the rest of the family members will be watching a show in the living room or even eating at the dining room; you have no choice but to complete your culinary responsibility. You end up missing out on the bonding moments and conversation because the living spaces are separated from each other. To solve the problem, you can switch to an open floor concept.

 

5. Safety and Security

In a family with kids, a large area created by merging indoor and outdoor area is a boon.  An Open floor plan creates a spacious area that is visible from the living room, dining, and kitchen area. Parents worried about their children’s safety can keep an eye on their children’s activities while working inside the house. Linking the two places creates a safe play area for the children and an area supervised without being physically present with the children while they play.

WHY A KNOCK DOWN REBUILD IS THE BEST WAY TO GET YOUR DREAM HOME

Image
  When you’re on the hunt for your dream home, buying or renovating often seem like the only options. But, whether you’re just embarking on your home journey or you’re a seasoned owner, it’s worth thinking outside the box to get what you want. A Knock Down Rebuild Home Builders is currently an under-the-radar option, but it’s growing in popularity – especially with those who love their location but not their home. 1.        Cost comparative Budget and cost are, most likely, always going to be at the top of your list of concerns when considering a new home or renovating. Renovations and re-clads can often cost as much as building new but come without the benefits of a new modern home. Renovations are also associated with financial uncertainty. Unforeseen problems such as leaky pipes, dodgy foundations or undetected asbestos can turn a renovation into a costly nightmare. Construction aside, moving home means you’ll have to pay stamp duty. One of the big benefits of a knockdown reb

Planning on Subdivision of Land? You need to read this

Image
  If you are buying or selling a large parcel of land, consider whether or not subdividing the land can help you maximize your real estate resources. Here are a few considerations for landowners, or those seeking to buy land, who are thinking about subdividing:   Get intimately acquainted with your zoning laws. The first step towards subdividing a property is to understand the zoning requirements that apply to your site. In addition to the Residential Design Codes of Western Australia, most land in Australia is subject to the individual policies of local councils. These set out standards such as minimum lot sizes, and are therefore critical in determining the scope and subdivision potential of your property. Other factors that can influence whether you are allowed to subdivide your block include any state planning policies, local planning policies, the shape of the block and whether or not an existing home is going to remain or be removed in order to subdivide the land.

Renovating Your Existing Home vs. Looking for a New Home Builder

Image
Wondering whether to knock down and rebuild or renovate your existing home?  We at Parkvuehones often get asked by homeowners whether we think they should renovate their existing home or build new. The answer, of course, depends on your unique situation, your financial goals and future plans. The important thing is to consider what each path offers.  You should start by considering the home’s intended use. What sort of living areas do you need to fit your lifestyle? How much room do you need? If you have specific ideas, now is the time to bring them out. Once you have the answers to these questions, dig into the structural soundness and health of the foundation as much as you can. If the foundation is cracked or the frame of the house is compromised, there is little use in spending a lot on renovations. Depending on the type and amount of damage, you may find demolishing the existing house and rebuilding to be a better choice.  After every angle has been taken into considerati
