In part from “Patterns of Home” by Max Jacobson, Murray Silverstein and Barbara Winslow, with eye of adjustment towards resale.
- Ignoring Site Characteristics (trying to force preconceived ideas or plans)
- Insufficient programming (thinking/talking it through)
- Over building (too much square footage can weaken design integrity)
- Poor Circulation (function of space and relationship to neighboring space)
- Indoor/Outdoor relationships (underused)
- Lacking sufficient light
- Layering spaces (when to – when not to) and Creating Spaces In Between
- Proportions (functional & aesthetic) & Curb Appeal
- Materials & Colors (stay neutral/classic w/o professional assistance)
- Resale … remember resale!! (design for yourself yes, but consider 2nd owner)
