PODCAST EP 038 - EXPERIENCE & Your Custom Home

May 12

Experience

Today we have an exciting show lined up for you where we talk about designing your custom home experience. When we think about designing our custom homes, there are many ways to approach them. Most people focus on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the size of the living room, and the kitchen layout. But, we can think about it in more creative and meaningful ways that focus on the experience of our space.

In this episode, JD explores the different ways we can create an experience when we design our custom homes and the various ways to communicate the experience of our space, from the floor plan layout to the colors on the walls. We all have different backgrounds we would like to create with a specific design and the goals we want to achieve, and JD discusses them all. He also talks about the different vertical and horizontal lines found on the floor plans and the things they define. He explains how color can play a significant role in creating a memorable experience within our homes and the importance of creating a rhythm that influences the focus.
