Architectural Design Architectural Design 101 One of the most exciting steps in building a custom home is designing the floor plan. However, if you are unsure exactly what you are looking for it is best to look at 25-75 homes. Tearing out pages in magazines is also a great way to narrow down exactly what features you would like to see in your new home. It will take several months to design a custom home so make sure you have a great personality match with your architect. Below are 31 questions to ask yourself so that you will be prepared when you sit down with the architect. 1. Do you want a single or multiple story home? 2. Where do you want the master suite? Upstairs or down? 3. Where do you want the guest suite – down or up (consider elders)? 4. Do you want an elevator? 5. Would you like a game room? 6. Should it be big enough for a billiard table? 7. Would you like a sports bar look with TVs? 8. Have you considered enough storage for children’s games? 9. Is there a bathroom near the game room? 10. Would you like the laundry to be in a separate room or close to the master suite? 11. Think about a built-in ironing board in the master closet. 12. How many entrances would you like to the master suite? 13. Would you like a separate entrance from the master bath? 14.
