Early in the design of any custom home there are two different things I focus on to set the framework for the design. The first is the site analysis, a study of the specific conditions in which the home will be located. The next is Programming / Performance Programming. Programming = the quantitative list of spaces, their approximate sizes, adjacencies and any other special requirements. Perfor...

Transforming a Boring Colonial Home with a Modern Addition
Переглядів 6303 місяці тому
Just a fun little exercise of taking a boring 1980's colonial and transforming it with a modern addition. In this proposed design the primary suite is relocated to the first floor level, allowing for a reconfiguration of the bedrooms on the second floor which adds a bathroom and provides 3 bedrooms which are all equally (and usable) size. Down on the first floor the kitchen area is expanded and...

Переглядів 1363 місяці тому
In my opinion, the best designs come from a combination of detailed analysis and abstract explorations. Design decisions should never be made arbitrarily. While exploring early conceptual designs, I like to create vignette sketches that look at individual moments. These sketches may not represent the final design but serve as inspiration and conceptual framework to work within. It is often the ...

Glad you guys did this. Great conversation and so important on every project.
Thanks Matt
Thank you for the opportunity Chris!
Thank you Nick, we should have you on as a guest again! This was a more broad conversation and maybe in the future we could have more in-depth talks around something specific.
@n3architecture Your video is very very interesting but I had to cut it off because of the useless music which was too loud and too noisy for me, dommage...
That was fun! And informative. Makes me feel I’m not too far off in my decisions when I pretend design remodels for my 1960 ranch or the house up north.
Views are nice for 6 months, then you get so used to it, you don't even notice it anymore.
I love this book, and found this review very accurate!
What a wonderful review of my book. You captured so much of what I had hoped the book and the work would convey. Modernism can be warm, soulful and with meaning. Thank you so much 💛
Such amazing work @celesterobbins I hope that I came close to capturing how inspired I was looking through the projects and reading your descriptions. Are you going to the AIA24 conference? If so, lets grab a coffee!
Celeste: I love your work (and Chris')! May I say it looks rather Scandinavian? My father was Danish, and I have had the opportunity to visit several warm modern homes there.
So glad i found you

Great information.Thank you. We recently downsized from 2300 sq ft to 1600 sq ft. It's just the two of us & the larger home had two rooms we never used. We thought we' d have many out of state visitors. We had four in 11 years. Im utilizing the third bedroom in the smaller home, as a guest bedroom/foldable exercise bike / screen divider where I hide storage paper goods, detergent, soaps etc.The other bedroom is used as a den & office. It really is plenty of space because the time spent for each activity is minimal.

I like the powder room at the front door so that if a stranger needs to use it they don't go walking through my house.
I really enjoyed watching this...
Hi Chris, I just fired my quite famous architect for not listening. And som of what you mention here is what I told her and she ignored. Sunlight, acoustics, view… I wish you’d taka a look at our drawings 😢
Wow, sorry to hear
It is ridiculous to talk about "the" cost per square foot. This varies widely, even within the same neighborhood.
Not when you have a decent idea on what that cost is. I only use in the very early stages of a project to set or confirm the size based upon the clients budget. If a client comes to me and says they want to build a 5000 sf house and their budget is $950k and I know the average cost per SF is around $300 then they are way off and need to either reduce size or increase budget.
@@n3architectureBut what I'm saying is that the price per square foot can vary widely so how are you coming up with that number? For example, on the street I'm building on, there are houses with per square foot build coats ranging from $450 to over $1000.
@@Scott-rf5ux I haven't personally seen that large of a gap in the same street, or most often even the same town. When I first start working with a client and knowing if it is a more or less expensive area and through multiple conversations with them - discovering what they want in a the house in terms of style, structure, finishes, mechanical, I can get a decent sense of what the cost per square foot will be. Again this is not intended to be exact, but just a starting point for the initial conceptual design and setting the approximate size of the house. After the schematic design work is to a point where the homeowner is satisfied (but not too far out that changes can't be made) I always recommend they bring in a contractor for preconstruction services, to provide a more detailed budget number which will then get refined as the project moves forward.
@@n3architecture the consistency of pricing must be a regional or market-specific thing. If you look at, for example, Austin and suburbs, you'll see square foot pricing ranging from $300 (maybe even lower) to a minimum of $900 (from a builder like Four Square)
Thanks for all the great videos! We've watched your whole process. Now we are starting own design and construction in the Philippines. We gave you shout out on our first blogs about design!
Thanks for watching, good luck with your project
Thank you so much for this look into every step that goes into this fascinating process! I really like your videos.
Thanks for the kind words, Im glad you enjoyed
Wow, greta tips! Had an architect design my last huge 5400 sf house 17 years ago, and still ended up with a powder room in the transition from foyer to kitchen! Right where everyone stood at parties:(. Thanks for great tips for this design! Downsizing, and prepping for architect interviews, and looking for strategies to multi-use rooms, looking forward to more of your videos!
I am interested, but the music bugs me too, so I am logging off.
Who wants to walk into a stinky crapper room when you just opened the front or back door?
If you need to put your toilet near the entry, specify an acoustic door. And wire the light switch or motion sensor to the ventilation fan. So if the room is in use, smells are removed. In New Zealand every toilet must have mechanical ventilation.
Great video. We were literally designing a floor plan last night for a new build and we spent hours trying to make the bathroom location work so it is tucked away. Also, appreciate you talking about the light. My husband has an app that shows the sun’s path so when we are looking at lots we can see the exposure to various rooms. I agreed 100 percent about the messy roof lines. It seems as we drive around and look at new construction the roof lines have gone crazy. We like some peaks, but generally the classic roof lines look best. We will need to hire an architect but for now we are using floor plan software to get our ideas/desires in place. PS. I didn’t even notice the music. I was focused on the content.
Thanks for your kind words and I would suggest that if you plan on hiring an architect, don't go too far down the path of using a floor plan software - I often see people get too fixated on one thing or another and they put the blinders up, and might miss out on opportunities that they didn't even consider. Instead spend your time documenting how you and your family live in your home - your daily, weekly, yearly routines. Things you like and things you don't like, be specific. Gather some inspirational images, but don't go overboard with that either, write down what it is you like about an image
Your videos are great! I've been really zeroing in on #5 - the home in relation to the sun. Its tough finding home styles that do this well when the home faces the street to the east. I'm in the northeast. Optimal sun for heating (and joy) means the widest part of the house runs from front to back in my case to capture all the southern sun during winter, south is the side of the house. Particulalry with a roof that gives southern exposure for solar. I've been lookjng at traditional 2 story styles that have the gable in the front, (so you have southern roof exposure) with the garage roof line perpendicular. Curious of you have any go to examples for a house that makes good use of the sun when it has an east facing street.
Here are some things I would consider: 1.) Do you want your primary bedroom to receive morning sunlight or do you prefer to sleep later and have the room be darker? I would probably locate the primary bedroom on the north side of the house in this situation either way - but you can control the light by having more or less windows on the side that faces east vs. west (or north) 2.) What spaces do you want the most daylight in? Locate those on the south end of the house if you plan it correctly (and if you want an open kitchen / living / dining - you could have that entire space be open and have windows on the east, south and west. 3.) Use overhangs to control / block the summer sun vs. letting the winter sun into the space 4.) Garage and any other space where light isn't a priority I would locate to the north side of the house 5.) Proximity to neighbors on the south side. If daylight, and privacy are important to you, a conventional house that looks like everyone else's might not be the best route. There are many ways to configure a house and they don't all need to be boxes with front door facing the street and the sides being windowless walls. (not saying you are doing this) Where in the Northeast are you located? I am in MA and my projects are pretty spread out - feel free to contact me www.n3architecture.com/get-started
Such great advice and information! Thank you!
Thank You
Why I don't like houses with a "master" bedroom and "children's" bedrooms. That bedroom might look perfectly adequate for a five year old now, but in twenty five years when that five year old is thirty and has a kid of their own but they and their partner and kid are still living with you because you're disabled and they're your carer, is that bedroom still going to be adequate to their needs?
This is an excellent point and is something that is becoming more of a consideration for my recent clients as kids are living with parents for longer or people are caring for elderly parents.
Hi Chris, I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m amazed by the quality of your site analysis. I’m currently studying architecture myself, and just like you I like to use procreate in the beginning of a project. I was wondering if you have any templates, or props that you regularly use (sunpath for example)? I also think that a dedicated video on your workflow using procreate would provide value to a lot of people trying to improve their digital drawings. (I also linked up with you on linked in to follow your projects ;) Either way, big thanks for the amazing video! Greetings from Germany Dominik 👋🏼
Thanks Dominik! If you are looking for Procreate templates, tips I would suggest checking out Henry Gao. Both his UA-cam channel and his course. His website also has free resources to download. I made my own sunpath template that is specific to my location, but a good resource can be found here andrewmarsh.com/apps/releases/sunpath2d.html
@@n3architecture Thanks a lot. Definitely going to look into it 🙏🏼
What’s the reason for background music? I like to know………..
The budget is what you're comfortable spending - which will be less than the total amount of money available. After that, you've got to fit what you want into that budget.
Thank you so much for this. We are currently in the process of buying our 4 acre lot and we want to know as much as possible before we start. We just want a single story high ceiling 4,000 sq house and so we’re trying to be as realistic as possible so this video helps.
Im glad it helped!
Very helpful tips! Thank you for producing this video.
Thank you for watching
Great presentation and content. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I stopped the video at 2 minutes in. Why on earth would you put such annoying music in your video to compete with what you are talking about. You might have had some valuable points BUT I will never know because that music was AWFUL!!!!
Great content and recommendations! Really appreciated 👏👏👏
Thanks, Im glad you liked it.
brother, put some images about what are u talking about, please, in this way i will clarify my ideas. thank u so much
Thanks, I try to include as many images in my videos as possible. The work on my projects has to come first though and there is only so much time.

What’s your opinion on Barndominiums?
Honestly, Im not a fan, but I get why they are appealing to people. For me, having a built structure that relates to the land and the specific environmental conditions and then also how that unique family will use their home is so much more important.
'promo sm'
Solid input, thank you.
I wanted to watch but the music is wayyyyy too loud
Amazing! I am in the process of realizing a new build in Eastern Canada and have been scouring through hours and hours of material online, both to inspire and to educate myself. Your podcast is one of the simplest, concise, well thought and, brilliantly delivered. All the best!
Thank you so much! Hopefully there are things that have helped you.
Too add, you need to have schedule of deliverables in place prior to signing a contract. If the deliverables are not met on said time line, causing you a delayed move in date, then the deliverables "penalties" kick in, causing the contractor lose money.
I'm not an architect but it was my dream to become one. Now I have desgined a house but I'm not really sure if it's designed correctly. is there any ways I could figure that out. I'm talking about the size of the house. the place of walls and doors and widnows.. Is there any ways I could figure that out? or can anybody help me with that.
I would suggest talking to a local Architect or Builder.
Turn the music down. Wth
Love this new type of video! And agree with other commenter, general sense of pricing would be great to tie things together.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Great vid Chris. You did say this was just an exercise but you might want to include prices for what a house like this might cost. How much the expansion and renovation might cost too. So we can see if something like this is realistic for the average home buyer/owner. Tbh I can’t imagine what you did in this video being cheap. I could be wrong.
Thanks, I generally try not to publish information on pricing because it can change over time and also varies so much by where the work is taking place. (Example this renovation in California would probably cost 2x than if it was in Ohio) I guess I could have added that at this date, in this location the anticipated cost would be within this range. I'll plan on doing more of these types of quick designs so next time I will include some budget pricing.
@@n3architecture Thanks. Either way man. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Keep up the great work.
@@JonSnowsGhost Thanks again and for watching!
Good advice but remove the crap music from the background. Aggravating AF.
Amazing video! Super helpful!!!
Im glad that you enjoyed and found it helpful!
In fact I specifically want a bathroom right next to the front door. I don't care about guests - I don't have people over that often. But I care about being able to clean up without going into the house. This is mostly my dogs, but not just them. If I'm dripping wet, I want to dry off before walking into the house.
