This is a gorgeous modern home, but not one window has a blind or drape, where is the privacy that you need to dress and bathe? What will it look like when the necessary window treatments are added? Quite different I suspect.

From saving money through reduced square footage to incorporating sustainable technologies and materials to making sure it's built right, an architect adds value. Let's face it, moving a wall on paper is a whole lot less costly than moving a wall after it's built. So rather than doing the former,have your architect show you how to save time and money by doing the later.

The raised beds and the flow of the decking with the build in seating. wonderful.
