Blueprints for House

Here are some of the more common questions we get asked about blueprints:

How many sets of architectural designs do I need to order?
It’s recommended those who have a mortgage and want to speed up receiving estimations order at least 10 sets.

What is a frontal sheet?
This is the artist’s representation of the home’s exterior. It’s drawn in two-point perspective to give you an idea of how the home will look once it’s built and landscaped.

What do detailed floor plans show?
These are complete in 1/4 scale, and illustrate each floor’s layout. Careful attention is paid to the dimensions of every room and interior space.

Archtiect FAQ

Here are some of the most common questions we get about our architect services:

Why do I need an architect?
An architect will be able to provide you with the necessary tools to make your project successful. This person will become your advocate when dealing with design and construction issues, and should help you successfully navigate through the entire project scope, including budget, site and space.

What should I remember when hiring an architect?
Interview at least two or three architects, and find out if they’ve done the type of architecture you want. Visit the sites of their projects or take a look at the drawings. Be sure to speak to references, and ask them questions.

What all is involved in architectural design?
Architects have to think of many things before drawing up plans. They must consider what the building will be used for (the building’s “function”), and how many people are going to be in it at the same time. They also have to make sure it’s designed safely, and will last for many years.

Boston Kitchen Renovation Tips

Is your Beantown home kitchen in need of a serious facelift? Here are some Boston kitchen renovation tips to get you thinking about where to take your kitchen design:

Colors
It goes without saying, but colors make a huge difference in style, theme and filling empty areas. Colors can give your kitchen a certain mood and character, and can even make it look bigger or smaller; lighter colors add depth and warmth, while darker ones make spaces smaller.

Backsplashes
A backsplash ties every kitchen element together and add its own style by bringing together the color palette of other rooms. They come in variety of textures and no matter the chosen palette or theme, a backsplash can transform and enhance your kitchen.

Eco-friendly
Kitchens use most of your home’s energy, and a green-designed kitchen can save energy, as well as be functional and stylish. If you’re doing a simple remodel or update, or even creating a whole new kitchen, take the time to ask your Boston architect about how the project can be more environmentally friendly.

Organization
A top priority of your project should be how to make the area more organizational. Have it designed in a way that keeps clutter off of countertops, and has plenty of storage solutions. Ask about your designer or architect about installing a kitchen island, which can prove to be a great storage solution.
