This article showcases 5 beautifully designed modern homes, with an added layer of insight into their construction, as we've managed to include the detailed architectural plans for each abode! The support of an architect is essential when conceptualising and realising your dream home, with their expertise often helping clients to express themselves and find their voice through the design process.
Once a design has been decided upon, floor plans must be created with meticulous attention to detail, in order that the builders can translate what's on paper into a 3D design masterpiece. The following images demonstrate this relationship in action – take a look through and get inspired!
