The Value & The Costs of
Small Footprints
The Value
In our modern home designs, we are often given the opportunity and challenge to create homes with a small footprint. This refers literally to the small area of land on which a home sits. This concept is valuable in dense urban environments where space is at a premium and in dense natural settings where minimizing disturbance to the surrounding landscape is a priority. Designing homes with a small footprint requires a meticulous attention to detail and an innovative approach to maximizing space (both vertically and horizontally) without compromising on the home's luxury or functionality. This strategy not only allows for creative architectural solutions that enhance living experiences but also promotes a more sustainable approach to building. Our unique design process embraces the constraints of a small footprint to deliver space-efficient homes that celebrate their setting while offering all the amenities of modern living.
The Costs
While these efficient homes may ultimately be smaller and therefore reduce overall costs, the intricacies of maximizing a smaller space often necessitate higher design fees since every square inch must be thoughtfully considered to ensure the home meets the family's needs and desires without feeling cramped. Additionally, construction costs can be higher on a per-square-foot basis due to the need for custom solutions and materials that are tailored to the specific constraints and possibilities of the site. However, these costs are typically far offset in many projects because of the savings from land acquisition, lowered material costs, etc. This makes a home with a small footprint a worthwhile investment for those committed to living in harmony with their environment. The focus on quality over quantity, and the incorporation of multi-functional spaces and features, ensure that these homes not only meet but exceed the expectations for modern luxury living, providing a sustainable and innovative solution to urban and natural landscapes alike.
