2014 TRENDS:

60 Design Ideas in 60 Minutes

1. Story-and-a-half plans have wasted space in the roof system…

Image Image

Wasted space

…while two-story plans have a better street presence….and one story in rear provides a more economical roof profile…

Image Image

..with better access to storage space for slab plans.

Image Image

2. Reinforce ownership in townhouses with consistent vertical materials….

Image Image

…or vary siding colors to help define vertical ownership…

Image Image

…while orderly placement of windows and roof gables adds to the appearance.

Image Image

3. Side elevations need some love just like the front….

Image Image

Front………..…and side elevations…

Image Image

Front…….side….…and rear elevations.

Image

4. Avoid “stacked decks” in multifamily designs and add privacy to patios

Image

Upper unit decks in front, lower unit patio in back adds privacy…

Image

Upper unit deck

Lower unit patio

End unit patios

…and storage sheds and screens can add privacy to horizontally adjacent patios.

5. Add a side door, or “friend’s entry, to avoid entering though the garage…

…which allows guests to enter the house more graciously….

…even on front loaded garages.
