A custom home design architect is someone who will assist you in building your home the way you want.

Why You Should Hire an Architect to Design a Custom Home

A custom home is designed to meet the specifications of the person who commissioned it. That’s where a custom home design architect in Phoenix comes in.

As we covered previously, hire a custom home design architect to make a home that really is all about you. What design elements can you include in a custom home?  A custom home is based on architectural plans that the architect prepares with input from the homeowner. Custom homes can be extravagant or simple based on the plans in questions. A custom home uses plans that differ from ordinary home plans, where the same plan may be sold to many different people.

While there is some customization in a tract house, usually because a builder will change some details such as moving a doorway or getting a different type of window.  However, it’s not really a custom home as the buyer isn’t consulted beforehand. And custom homes start from the ground up.

Hiring a Home Design Architect: The Reasons Why?

Let’s say you’ve bought a big plot of land.  It’s got a view so you want to take advantage of it.  But before you break ground, get an architect on board or you can end up facing fines or other problems, as we will cover in the next part of this article.  There are other reasons.  You love the view of your home, but guess what?  You live in Arizona.

Your home has a lot of southern and western exposure, which is fine from the Fall to the Spring, but in the summer, well, you’d better have a very good air-conditioner and some tinted windows, or your home will soon become unbearably hot.  Or maybe you have the opposite problem.  Your home is perpetually in shadow during the winter because of a hill or other natural features that make sundown come a lot sooner.  An architect in Phoenix can do a lot of modelling on your home to prevent this sort of thing.

Another reason to hire an architect in Phoenix is that he is all about the details.  Let’s say you designed a home for your family, but didn’t take into account the fact that your seven year old daughter is going to be a teenager and soon will start hogging the bathroom.  Or maybe you need a bigger home office for your business.

As you see, there are very good reasons to hire a custom home design architect in Phoenix.
