We have recently finished the two and a half storey structure of bungalow. In the ground floor, there are guest room, kitchen and living cum dining room with a space for upstairs. It is a duplex concept house. Also in the first floor we out master bed room, children's room, parent room, family lounge, study room and a pantry. From the first floor is the gazebo entry with front facing. All the rooms have attached baths and toilets except the study, pantry and family lounge. The second floor has laundry room, spa room and a big prayer room( ibadat khana). Please help to decide on the window and door style and sizes that looks beautiful in such structures. Thanks in advance..... My email I'd is njk_gtk@yahoo.com.

My suggestion would be instead of nature as a concept, go for organic. That way you don't need to exactly bring in nature it self but instead derive your ideas, flow of spaces, shapes and colours from nature. But if you are doing nature as a concept I would suggest wooden/stone furniture that is less processed, do not use too much exposed concrete since it is more brutalist and contrasting or anything else that might give such a look. Instead go for earthen shades, stone cladding, and create green pockets wherever possible.

It's great you're thinking about the design process so thoroughly! Designing a home is a big decision and finding the right architect is crucial. Here's my take on your questions, based on my experience: 1. Do well-established architects take small projects? Yes, many do! While some specialize in large-scale projects, many architects enjoy working on smaller, residential projects. The key is to find an architect whose design style and experience align with your vision. 2. Will they put their creative genius on a small project? Absolutely! A good architect will be passionate about their work, regardless of the project's size. They'll bring their expertise and creativity to any project. Think of it like a painter: they create masterpieces on small canvases, too! 3. What fees can I expect? Architect fees are typically based on a percentage of the total project cost, but they can vary. For just a layout and inspection, expect a lower fee, possibly a flat rate. It's important to discuss this upfront and get a clear quote. 4. Will they provide multiple design plans? Yes, a reputable architect will work with you to develop several design options. This allows you to compare different layouts, styles, and features to find the one that best suits your needs and budget. 5. How do I choose the right architect? Here are some key precautions: Check their portfolio: Look at examples of their previous work. Do they have a style that resonates with you? Read reviews: Seek recommendations from friends, family, or online. Ask for references: Talk to past clients to understand their experience with the architect. Get everything in writing: Have a clear contract outlining the scope of work, fees, and timelines. 6. Will an architect work with a lower budget? Many architects are flexible and can work within different budgets. Discuss your financial constraints upfront, and they can adjust the design to meet your needs while still delivering a beautiful and functional home.
