As a new year arises, new trends in home architectural design also arise.
And if you’re planning to build your luxury home this year, keeping yourself up to date with the current architectural trends here in Australia will help you achieve your dream home.
What does home architectural design mean?
When you say home architectural design, it refers to the process of planning, creating, and detailing the layout, structure, and aesthetics of a residential building. It involves the thoughtful integrating of various elements, such as functionality, spatial arrangement, style, and construction details, to achieve a harmonious and well-designed living space.
Home architectural design involves considerations like room layout, building materials, exterior appearance, and overall aesthetics, to create a structure that meets the needs and preferences of the occupants while complying with practical, safety, and regulatory standards.
Here at CKS Projects, we are passionate and committed to bringing our clients the newest architectural designs for their dream homes, so we prepared a list of things you can look out for when it comes to home architectural designs this year.
What to keep an eye on when it comes to home architectural design this year?
Elevate your home design with the beauty of nature
The beauty of nature will never go out of style.
This 2024, you can still maximise the beauty of your natural surroundings to achieve a modern luxurious comfy home. To do this, you can integrate the exterior elements of your home into its interior elements.
In this way, you can create harmony between spaces resulting in a cozy relaxing environment for your home. Additionally, maximising the environment around you can help you add functional features to your house design
To maximise the beauty of nature, you can do the following:
- Make sure that your exterior design and finishes are set to be sensitive to natural conditions.
- Use indoor plants to decorate your home.
- Implement an outdoor living space that’ll help you enjoy the environment even better.
- Utilise large glass doors and windows— this can help you allow the flow of natural light to come into your home while also creating a wide open space that reveals the beauty that surrounds you. Make sure that these doors and windows are strategically set in place for a better view of the outside.
- Consider using natural timbers or stones when making your cabinetry to enable visual continuity.
Keep an eye on sustainable features
As we become more advanced and advanced in technology, you have to look out for sustainable features in building your dream modern house. These sustainable features are parts of your home that promote energy efficiency.
If you’ve heard of a 7-star home, that’s what we’re talking about when it comes to residential sustainability. We have a separate blog about this, so make sure to check that out!
Be aware of your local conditions
When you say local conditions, it refers to the specific circumstances, factors, or characteristics that are unique to your location’s geographic area or locality. These conditions can encompass a wide range of elements, including climate, topography, culture, economy, infrastructure, and regulations.
If you want an architecturally designed home, you have to consider these elements and pick the materials that are suitable for them.
Consider minimalist designs
Modern designs are known for their minimalist elements.
Minimalist home designs are known for offering a range of benefits, from creating serene and organized living spaces to promoting intentional and sustainable lifestyles. This type of home design has gained popularity for its ability to enhance both the physical and mental aspects of daily living.
This year, you can expect that using minimalist design will still be a trend, so watch out for it.
Add a home Gym, home office, etc.
Why go out if you can keep up with your workout at home? Or watch movies, do your work, and have fun?
If you’re planning to build your new home this year, consider adding amenities that’ll give you both convenience and satisfaction. You can add a home gym if you’re into fitness, a home spa for relaxing, and an office for your administrative work.
It’s 2024, you can do your daily activities in the comfort of your home!
Consider a zero-waste design
Zero waste design has been a trend in house designs nowadays.
It’s an approach to design that seeks to minimize the environmental impact of a product or system by reducing waste throughout its life cycle. The goal is to create products or design solutions that generate little to no waste during manufacturing, use, and disposal.
This concept aligns with broader sustainability efforts and the desire to promote a circular economy where resources are used efficiently and waste is minimized. Some of the elements that you can check in a zero-waste design are recyclability, biodegradability, local and sustainable sourcing, source reduction, and material efficiency.
Look into innovative storage
“Innovative storage” refers to creative and advanced solutions for storing and managing goods or materials. Homes with innovative storage usually use smart refrigerators and compact storage systems.
Innovative storage will help you maximise the space of your home, so you might want to look into it as well.
Work with expert home builders
Last but not least, if you want to build a quality architecturally designed home this year, you must ensure you’re working with expert home builders in your area. Before you hire anyone, do your research, check testimonials and look into their past project profiles.
