The importance of a program meeting in planning private homes
The decision to set out and design the perfect dream home is actually just the first step. Just before you choose raw materials, colors and styles, or plan the luxurious yard, it is recommended to understand exactly where you are going, what you need – and what the existing conditions allow you. Working with a professional, you can pave the way clearly and correctly, which is why a program meeting is so important, the one that takes place long before choosing professionals, submitting work plans and even presenting sketches.
Home architecture begins with big dreams
So, your first meeting with the professional is a program meeting. The main goal at this stage is one and only: to dream, and big. This is your opportunity to put all your ideas, fantasies and desires on the page, define the most basic needs and also determine the budget, the schedules and the way in which the house should serve your goals and routine. This is the stage where we talk about everything, for example the perfect exterior appearance of the house as well as the interior design, the daily conduct of you and all the household members, or where the guest room should be located in relation to the children's rooms. In the process of planning private houses, these are the foundations on which the entire work plan is based, so there is no doubt that this is the most important stage in the process.
Planning Private Houses - the Questions to Ask
It is important to remember that a program meeting, by its nature, is a meeting that may last a long time, mainly because during it we will dive deep and answer all the most basic and influential questions. How many bedrooms do you need? Do you have small children living in the house? Is the family expected to expand? Is a closet needed? And what about a study, reading corner, or guest room? Do you often host? Do you cook or bake frequently? Is a pantry required? And what about a basement? If you are planning a housing unit or studio, is a separate entrance required for them? These and other questions will arise during the meeting, and it is worth considering them to ensure planning at the highest level.
Architecture and Interior Design – Between the Desired and the Present
To ensure optimal planning, the designer who accompanies you in the process needs to combine two central issues: your needs and desires on the one hand, and the existing conditions on the ground on the other. In other words, to enable very accurate and professional planning, in-depth familiarity with the lot and the environment is required. The designer should take into account issues such as wind directions, typography, and the location of other houses in the vicinity, all of which will allow her to plan the structure, the yard, and even the location of the front door. All of these are important to ensure that a high-quality and smart response can be provided to your needs, or to offer creative solutions that combine these needs with the constraints arising from the terrain. Thanks to her rich experience in planning private homes and interior design, Liran Ben Ivgi will help you do it right, focus on all the truly important issues and ensure a spectacular result, without compromise.
