Design Your Own Home — Our Story
When I first set out to design my home, I read everything I could find on house design and searched everywhere for some kind of tutorial or training course to walk me through the process of starting with raw land and ending up with a home design that would fit my family beautifully.
After an exhaustive search, we were stumped and set about learning how to design a new home the hard way.
We created many floor plans and even a few sets of full structural designs before finalizing our house design and then building the home.
With a background in engineering, many of the structural design principles were easy to understand. My other career is designing educational training courses and this side of me kept wanting to create a tutorial to provide others with a clear method for how to design a new home.
