Lincoln Farmhouse LEED-H Platinum, Net-Positive Energy OVERVIEW. This LEED Platinum certified modern farmhouse ties into the cultural landscape of Lincoln, Massachusetts - a town known for its rich history, farming traditions, conservation efforts, and visionary architecture. The goal was to design and build a new single family home on 1.8 acres that respects the neighborhood’s agrarian roots, produces more energy than it consumes, and provides the family with flexible spaces to live-play-work-entertain. The resulting 2,800 SF home is proof that families do not need to compromise on style, space or comfort in a highly energy-efficient and healthy home. CONNECTION TO NATURE. The attached garage is ubiquitous in new construction in New England’s cold climate. This home’s barn-inspired garage is intentionally detached from the main dwelling. A covered walkway connects the two structures, creating an intentional connection with the outdoors between auto and home. FUNCTIONAL FLEXIBILITY. With a modest footprint, each space must serve a specific use, but also be flexible for atypical scenarios. The Mudroom serves everyday use for the couple and their children, but is also easy to tidy up to receive guests, eliminating the need for two entries found in most homes. A workspace is conveniently located off the mudroom; it looks out on to the back yard to supervise the children and can be closed off with a sliding door when not in use. The Away Room opens up to the Living Room for everyday use; it can be closed off with its oversized pocket door for secondary use as a guest bedroom with en suite bath. NET POSITIVE ENERGY. The all-electric home consumes 70% less energy than a code-built house, and with measured energy data produces 48% more energy annually than it consumes, making it a 'net positive' home. Thick walls and roofs lack thermal bridging, windows are high performance, triple-glazed, and a continuous air barrier yields minimal leakage (0.27ACH50) making the home among the tightest in the US. Systems include an air source heat pump, an energy recovery ventilator, and a 13.1kW photovoltaic system to offset consumption and support future electric cars. ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. -6.3 kBtu/sf/yr Energy Use Intensity (Actual monitored project data reported for the firm’s 2016 AIA 2030 Commitment. Average single family home is 52.0 kBtu/sf/yr.) o 10,900 kwh total consumption (8.5 kbtu/ft2 EUI) o 16,200 kwh total production o 5,300 kwh net surplus, equivalent to 15,000-25,000 electric car miles per year. 48% net positive. WATER EFFICIENCY. Plumbing fixtures and water closets consume a mere 60% of the federal standard, while high efficiency appliances such as the dishwasher and clothes washer also reduce consumption rates. FOOD PRODUCTION. After clearing all invasive species, apple, pear, peach and cherry trees were planted. Future plans include blueberry, raspberry and strawberry bushes, along with raised beds for vegetable gardening. The house also offers a below ground root cellar, built outside the home's thermal envelope, to gain the passive benefit of long term energy-free food storage. RESILIENCY. The home's ability to weather unforeseen challenges is predictable - it will fare well. The super-insulated envelope means during a winter storm with power outage, heat loss will be slow - taking days to drop to 60 degrees even with no heat source. During normal conditions, reduced energy consumption plus energy production means shelter from the burden of utility costs. Surplus production can power electric cars & appliances. The home exceeds snow & wind structural requirements, plus far surpasses standard construction for long term durability planning.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Our clients had been in their home since the early 1980’s and decided it was time for some updates. We took on the kitchen, two bathrooms and a powder room. The layout in the kitchen was functional for them, so we kept that pretty much as is. Our client wanted a contemporary-leaning transitional look — nice clean lines with a gray and white palette. Light gray cabinets with a slightly darker gray subway tile keep the northern exposure light and airy. They also purchased some new furniture for their breakfast room and adjoining family room, so the whole space looks completely styled and new. The light fixtures are staggered and give a nice rhythm to the otherwise serene feel. The homeowners were not 100% sold on the flooring choice for little powder room off the kitchen when I first showed it, but now they think it is one of the most interesting features of the design. I always try to “push” my clients a little bit because that’s when things can get really fun and this is what you are paying for after all, ideas that you may not come up with on your own. We also worked on the two upstairs bathrooms. We started first on the hall bath which was basically just in need of a face lift. The floor is porcelain tile made to look like carrera marble. The vanity is white Shaker doors fitted with a white quartz top. We re-glazed the cast iron tub. The master bath was a tub to shower conversion. We used a wood look porcelain plank on the main floor along with a Kohler Tailored vanity. The custom shower has a barn door shower door, and vinyl wallpaper in the sink area gives a rich textured look to the space. Overall, it’s a pretty sophisticated look for its smaller fooprint.

Home offices come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles. There are important things to consider when planning your home office whether your workspace is in a converted garage, a purpose-built annex, a small bedroom, or a corner of another room. Some people spend over 35 hours-a-week in this space, so it needs to be distraction-free and comfortable. The RoomSketcher App is a great app for planning a home office or study. You can try out different furniture layouts without moving the furniture around in real life, choose your desired wall color and plan shelving and storage for the room.

Sunday, September 14, 2014 Is Your Interior Design Depressing You? By Joseph Pubillones (DailyHerald.com http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140913/entlife/140919600) From time to time, someone will corner me and confess to me that they are depressed; they whisper that they believe their decorating is making them sick. They tell me that their interiors are not to their liking because of choices made by their spouse, their designer, or because of their own misguided attempts at decorating. Is it possible for their environment to make them feel sick? Yes (as I think about it), it is possible for design to alter moods. In the mid-1950s, Norbett Mintz, a researcher at Brandeis University, and his mentor, the renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow, decided to conduct research about the effects of "beauty" on behavior. Mintz had already conducted experiments about the effects of color on human behavior and concluded that color selection has a palpable effect on personal behavior. A room's design can have an impact on your mood. Mismatched colors or an overstuffed room can affect your ability to relax and feel comfortable. In their experiment about beauty, they designed three rooms. The first was "the ugly room", replete with clashing colors and patterns, disorganization and too much furniture for the size of the space. The second was "the average room", arranged with a monochromatic scheme, basic furniture pieces and subtly colored nondescript art. The third was "the beautiful room", decorated with quality case-goods, and fashionable fabrics and colors. Overwhelmingly, the test group rejected "the ugly room". "The average room" and "the beautiful room" were tied as the preferred room. When asked to describe the rooms, the test group was best able to describe "the beautiful room". As a designer, this is not news to me. There are rooms, especially those that I like, that I can describe with remarkable detail. Although our notion of what is beautiful varies from person to person, it can be said that beautiful design is more memorable. We can deduce that each person prefers the beautiful. From the time we are born, there are foods that are preferred -- some love sweets; others prefer more savory flavors. Over time, our taste buds evolve, and what was once a favorite food can become insipid or nauseating. The same is true for interior design. Over time, everyone develops preferences about what makes us feel comfortable and at home. When I hear that someone's home is depressing, I am concerned. I suggest immediate action to change what is most bothersome. If it is wall color: a painting party is overdue. If it is furniture: I ask them to consider new upholstery; a new furniture arrangement; or substituting new pieces for those that offend. And for those too timid or dismayed to tackle their problems head-on and alone, I suggest hiring a professional interior designer.

These are appealing impressions it makes upon our minds and spirits. It can't be faked. Attempts to put a stamp of "quality" -- as in "good quality" -- upon things which possess or convey "bad quality" doesn't fool anyone who appreciates quality and the benefits it inherently brings.] Related articles Is your interior design depressing you?

With most of both rooms finished, they asked Brandon Oriental Rugs to help them find two fine quality oriental rugs that would coordinate with each other, and serve as the last puzzle pieces to complete their decorating. Both rugs are finely detailed, hand-knotted, antique reproduction Persian Tabriz design oriental rugs made in India. The living room rug has a golden-maize color background with an antique gold border that subtly complements the fabrics and floor color in the room. The small scale motifs add color and interest while not defeating the supporting role the rug plays in the room to the customer's collection of fine original artworks. The dining room rug is an unusual "Hasht-guli" design with berry-red background and golden-maize border that complements the living room rug, the rich mahogany wood-tones of the dining room suite, and the fabrics used in the custom window treatments designed and installed by Hendrixson's. The wonderful result wrought by our customers expressing their good taste in an unswerving commitment to quality is proof that a modestly sized home can look and feel as elegant and luxurious as any palace.

Your home is your castle. Many of my clients have said they couldn’t imagine the results after their project was completed. They say it was the WOW factor. I say, that is why you hired a professional designer. There are many situations that warrant the hiring a professional interior designer. This includes something as simple as choosing paint and window covering to full scale renovation work such as a new kitchen, bath or lower level. In addition to achieving that WOW factor, a professional interior designer will save their clients’ money in many ways, most importantly the avoidance of costly mistakes. Not only will a professional designer understand the context of the project, they will have access to many resources and their trained eye can make a world of difference in the final result. And those final results also will improve the value of your home. Professional interior designers are able to work closely with architects and contractors and are comfortable with drawing floor plans, as well as understanding the implications of how interiors will be used as it relates to structural and available floor space. Beyond floor plans, program management, installation and understanding how structural design will be used in a practical setting, a professional interior designer will also be knowledgeable in color and fabric design, space planning, window coverings, furniture design, architecture and much more. So when you see the initials ASID and NCIDQ next to an interior designer’s name, know they have been through significant amount of formal certification. When hiring a professional interior designer, it is important to have an understanding of the scope of the work to be done. Before my initial meeting with a new client, I ask them to spend some time making a list of their needs as well as any pictures they saved of items or rooms they like. Upon our first meeting, I take photos and measurements. Together,we then develop a detailed itemized list covering all areas of concern. The next step is to draw up and present a floor plan. Depending on the type of project this could include floor plans and furniture placement as well as construction and lighting if needed. Once the plan is approved appropriate furnishings and finishes are selected. This can be fun - and exhausting as well. I often present my clients with many samples from which to choose. After the furniture choices, I develop a comprehensive budget itemizing all purchases. I also may call on several of the contractors I work with such as electricians, plumbers, cabinet wholesalers and cabinet makers, painters, as well as drapery workrooms and installers. It has taken many years to compile trusted associates, which is an important part of being a good designer. Lead times for good furniture and furnishings can take from 6-12 weeks depending on availability. This extra time gives sufficient time to finish the required preparatory work, and allows clients time to dispose of old furniture.

Creating the perfect fall home design, Pedrovazpaulo Real Estate and floorplan is one of the best ways to make your living space warm, functional, and visually attractive during the cozy autumn season. Fall is the time when families spend more time indoors, enjoy warm colors, and focus on comfort. A well-planned home layout not only improves beauty but also increases convenience for everyday living. A smart fall home design and floorplan should include open spaces, natural lighting, warm textures, and practical room arrangements. Whether you are building a new home or renovating your current one, choosing the right layout is essential. Modern homeowners also look for stylish house design plan options that combine beauty with efficiency. In this article, we will explore how to create the perfect fall home design and floorplan, discuss modern layout trends, and explain how house plan design, home architecture design, home design plans, and home plan design work together to build a dream home.
Why Fall Home Design Matters
A good fall home design and floorplan helps your house feel welcoming and peaceful. During autumn, people prefer warm interiors, comfortable seating areas, and rooms that allow better natural light. A thoughtful layout supports these needs while improving the overall value of the property. Fall-inspired homes often include earthy tones like brown, beige, orange, and cream. Large windows are also common because they allow sunlight to brighten indoor spaces. Open kitchens connected to dining and living rooms are another popular feature in modern house design plan ideas. When your fall home design and floorplan is properly planned, every room serves a purpose while maintaining visual harmony.
Key Features of a Perfect Floorplan
1. Open Living Spaces
One major part of a strong fall home design and floorplan is an open-concept living area. Combining the kitchen, dining room, and living room creates a spacious feeling and improves family interaction. Modern house plan design focuses on flexibility. Open spaces make entertaining guests easier and allow better furniture arrangement for seasonal decorations.
2. Functional Entryway
Your entrance should feel warm and organized. A good mudroom or foyer is essential in any fall home design and floorplan because it helps manage shoes, coats, and seasonal accessories. This practical idea is often included in professional home design plans for families who want both beauty and convenience.
3. Cozy Bedrooms
Bedrooms should provide comfort and privacy. Soft lighting, warm colors, and smart furniture placement improve relaxation. A strong home plan design ensures bedrooms are away from noisy areas for better peace.
4. Outdoor Connection
Fall is perfect for enjoying patios, balconies, and garden views. Many experts in home architecture design recommend adding sliding glass doors or covered patios to connect indoor and outdoor spaces. This improves both beauty and property value.
Importance of House Design Planning
A successful fall home design and floorplan starts with a detailed house design plan. Without proper planning, homes may look attractive but fail in functionality. A professional house design plan includes room sizes, traffic flow, ventilation, and furniture placement. It also ensures your budget is used wisely. Many homeowners regret skipping this step because poor layouts create long-term inconvenience. Good planning also supports future needs such as children, guests, or work-from-home spaces.
Role of Home Architecture Design
Strong home architecture design gives personality to your house. It combines exterior beauty with interior efficiency. The roof style, wall structure, windows, and natural light all affect the success of your fall home design and floorplan. For example, homes with high ceilings and large windows feel brighter and more open during fall. Natural materials like wood and stone also add warmth and seasonal charm. Professional home architecture design creates a balance between modern trends and personal lifestyle needs.
Choosing the Right Home Design Plans
Selecting the right home design plans helps avoid expensive mistakes. Your plan should match your land size, family size, and future goals. Single-story homes are ideal for small families and elderly residents, while double-story layouts work better for growing families. Your fall home design and floorplan should also include storage spaces, laundry areas, and practical bathroom locations. Customized home design plans are often better than copied layouts because they reflect your exact needs.
Modern Trends in Home Plan Design
Today’s home plan design focuses on simplicity, energy efficiency, and natural comfort. Some popular trends include:

• Minimalist kitchens with hidden storage
• Multi-purpose rooms for office and guest use
• Energy-saving windows and insulation
• Smart lighting systems
• Indoor plants and natural decoration

These features make your fall home design and floorplan both stylish and practical. A modern home plan design should always prioritize comfort over unnecessary decoration.
Conclusion
A well-planned fall home design and floorplan creates a home that feels warm, beautiful, and highly functional. From open living spaces to cozy bedrooms and outdoor connections, every detail matters when designing a seasonal home. Using a smart house design plan, strong house plan design, creative home architecture design, detailed home design plans, and practical home plan design helps you achieve the perfect balance of style and comfort. Whether you are building from scratch or improving your current house, investing in the right fall home design and floorplan will bring long-term satisfaction and better living quality. A thoughtful home is not just a place to live—it becomes a place to truly enjoy every season. Also you can read in homemaxe website for Pedrovazpaulo Real Estate
