Today I’m sharing some of the images that one of our clients put together as inspiration for her modern home. One of the first things we do as we begin a new project is to send our clients a questionnaire so that we can learn more about them and how they live in their home. This is more than just asking how many bedrooms and bathrooms they’d like in their house. Our questions are more focused on how/where they eat dinner and what a weekend morning looks like with their family. The last question is “Likes” – I ask them to collect images that will tell me what they like and dislike. These are not limited to architecture or design. It’s helpful for us if you collect images that describe your style, taste, and character as well.
I love it when clients just collect, or pin, images that catch their eye. As we go through the images, I ask them to tell me what “speaks to them” about each one. Sometimes it’s a house that they’ve always loved, or a view, or the light coming into a room, or sometimes we’re talking about color or texture, or simple or whimsical, or a memory, or a feeling. All of the images -and the stories behind why you chose them – are telling me a lot about you and probably your family too.
When you look through the images below you’ll see that our client likes a pretty wide variety of modern architecture, and the images don’t immediately tell you what her house is going to look like. They do, however, start to paint a very good picture of what our client likes. That’s the fun of designing truly custom homes – they’re all so individually unique!
Seems like a very cool client right?!
