Out Door Creative Interior Design

These outdoor interior designs have evolved beyond boundaries, part indoors and out. Their casual and comfortable, yet contemporary aesthetic is complemented by architectural elements like gazebos, sails and screens which belong in the outdoors, yet have made their way in. The versatile, modular furnishings in the Cabanne collection include benches, sectionals and unusual low-lying coffee tables that might be mistaken for minimalist wood platforms used in meditation or yoga!

Let’s face it, nobody wants to bring their furniture indoors every time it rains in effort to prevent mold and rusting. So unless you use your noggin, creating outdoor spaces may become challenging, if your furniture is inevitably exposed to the elements. Very nice pictures, I can’t take my eyes of the day bed on the porch somehow, that’s how I imagine the ideal place for a little afternoon rest. Not too garish while looking quite comfortable. But maybe that’s just because I would really appreciate a little afternoon rest right now.

Adapting architectural house plans to your needs

Hiring an Architect to design a one of a kind home for you can be a time consuming and expensive endeavor.  The design process will take at least several months - maybe up to a year.  And the fee can run from 8% to 12% of the construction cost or even higher.  That being said I believe it is well worth it - but not everyone has that luxury of time and money.  So what I want to do here is present you with an alternative approach that can work for many people.


The basic concept is to purchase a set of plans "off the shelf" directly from an Architect, and then work with them to customize that plan to your specific needs and tastes.  The two images below depict a house designed by Larson Brenner Architects in Stillwater, Minnesota.  
It is a beautiful Cape Cod design.




The client loved the design inside and out.  But the plan would not fit on their own lot configuration, the room arrangement did not satisfy 100% of their needs and their aesthetic tastes tended more towards the contemporary.  So Larson Brenner Architects sold the plan to them for a flat fee, and then worked on an hourly rate basis to modify the plan to reflect their needs.  The images below reflect the modified design.











The client loves the new design and they were able to reduce the design schedule and design costs significantly.  The house is now under construction - I'll update this post with photos of the project when available.
