Posted by home4india on June 19th, 2018

The architecture and design of a house play an important role in the comfort and well being of its residents. Good architecture and design can maximize comfort, functionality and aesthetic appeal, turning a house into your dream home. When commissioning a builder or architect to create the architectural plan of your future home, you should try to maintain an optimal balance between tradition and individuality. In other words, your dream home should definitely be unique and exceptional, built and designed in accordance to your needs, preferences and tastes. However, it should also incorporate the best features of traditional residential architecture and design. Additionally, it should have certain state-of-the-art features and should incorporate the latest trends in home architecture. Some of these trends, which you should definitely think about incorporating in your architectural plans, have been listed below for your convenience.

  •  Open Space: Open plan spaces, be it in a home or an office, are all about interaction and connectivity. By turning the main rooms in the residence into communal activity areas, it becomes easier for the members of the family to remain connected and have a sense of togetherness while at home. The communal areas of an open space home can be used for entertaining guests, engaging in family centric activities such as movie nights and board games and also creating a spacious area where children and pets can play and exercise without the risk of accidents or mishaps, which are common in cramped spaces.
  •  Freestanding Baths: Bath tubs are becoming increasingly popular in Indian homes and many people want to make baths, the focal point of their washrooms. A large, comfortable bath at the center of the bathroom space can play a vital role in making the bathroom into a quiet and relaxing haven. The latest baths are also becoming more sculptural in design, so that they look more like art installations than mere tubs. Square stone tubs have recently gained great popularity amongst home buyers, as the look unique and as though they have been hewn from the earth itself.
  •  Charging Stations: Work in the modern world is very different from what it was used to be before. With most of the work being done electronically and digitally, people are just as likely to check their email on the laptop in their bedroom, or on their phone in the bathroom. Therefore, the increasing digitization of day-to-day life has given rise to the trend of the charging stations. Uniquely designed charging stations can be found in every nook and cranny of modern homes, providing a visually attractive space where devices of all kinds can be stored, charged and operated.

These are some of the features that you should definitely consider including in the architectural plans for your dream home. Ideally, you should hire the services of a reputed architectural and design firm operating in your vicinity. They will help you design a unique, beautiful, comfortable and sustainable home that you will be proud of for years to come.
