I'll be showing you step-by-step how to design a house from scratch. I'll cover everything in detail including completing a land survey for your vacant lot, sketching out exterior and interior design concepts with your architect, creating interior layouts, drafting final drawings with your architect that will be sent to a structural engineer for review, and finally picking all the finishes through the house like flooring and countertops. I'm using my new construction home in Lake Tahoe California as an example as I explain each step in the home design process. The exterior design of my house in Tahoe is a modern cabin. The interior layout design for the first floor is based around an open floor plan for the main living space that lends itself to indoor/outdoor living, while the second floor layout includes all 3 bedrooms with a private deck off the primary bedroom. I include a lot of tips that I've learned throughout my own home design process like how to save money on certain design choices.
