Follow the light
The position of a house affects which rooms receive morning or afternoon sun. Think about the light you want while cooking breakfast, working, or relaxing. Window placement can balance daylight, privacy, and comfort.
Frame what matters
A stand of trees, a garden, or an open field can become part of the experience of a room. Positioning windows and gathering spaces around meaningful views helps connect a home to its setting.
Make room for outdoor living
Porches and outdoor gathering spaces deserve consideration early in planning. Think about shade, access from the kitchen, privacy, and how you want to spend time outdoors throughout the seasons.
General planning guidance. Site requirements, costs, and timelines vary by project.
