by: Alice Wynn 09-25-2011 Scheduling an appointment with your Architect/Designer to create your luxury mansion plans is the first step. The second step is to decide what type of luxury mansion plans you want. Are they to be traditional, French, island style, Georgian, or maybe Mediterranean or European Nouveau in style? If you choose the Mediterranean style of luxury mansion plans you will have chosen to have the designer create a magnificent design with old world sophistication and elegance. The plans will feature Architectural elements using both antiques and contemporary materials. Many Mediterranean designs are stucco and may feature extensive use of cast stone. and majestic columns. Other features that may appeal to the discriminating buyer are soaring arched windows and a double entry that heralds a grand villa. Many luxury mansion plans in this style have exceptional interior courtyards with flowing fountains. Richly enhanced Mediterranean designs have multiple fireplaces, extensive plaster moldings and columns, and art niches. In luxury mansion plans you will often find a grand two-story foyer, sometimes leading to a rotunda with courtyard views. Newer luxury mansion plans may offer an open breakfast room, kitchen, and generously proportioned family room with custom-crafted built-ins and a dramatic fireplace. The newer plans may specify granite countertops and state-of-the -art stainless steel appliances creating a chef's haven. A functional island with a vegetable sink is a nice touch in luxury mansion plans. Expect to find a spectacular domed ceiling in the master's retreat with a marvelous sitting room and a night kitchen. Luxury mansion plans offer many amenities, like whirlpool tubs, two-sided fireplaces, and exercise rooms. A second private bedroom suite is not uncommon in luxury mansion plans and is usually located on the main floor. Secondary bedroom may be on the second level along with a game room and media room.

by: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM 09-25-2011 In the olden days people didn't actually eat in the kitchen. From as long ago as medieval days in Europe to the 1800s, when the typical kitchen in this country was comprised of a hard-working area furnished with a wood-burning stove, large wood table and stand-alone cupboards-like a pie-keep or cooler that drew air from under the house in order to keep certain food items cold. We are talking about an enormous amount of time in history. Before that time, cooking was done outside, over an open fire, or inside, in a huge stand-up fireplace, such as those found in Colonial America. Kitchen design in custom home plans has come a long way since those early times. Indeed it has transformed, according to how food is prepared , and follows the change in how people perceive cooking. It also followed the regional differences from cities to farmhouses. Another great influence over food preparation was technology. During industrialization, iron stoves appeared that were more energy-efficient and could use one fire to heat several pots at once. For the upper classes, kitchens were and sometimes are still separated from where people eat and were confined to either the basement or the ground floor of a grand home. The conceptual idea of a dine-in kitchen in custom home plans is relatively new and began to develop in the United States in the 1930's, and other kitchen equipment standardizations embraced in the mid 1940's were devised as a cost-saving concept. As early as the 1920's, Architects in Germany and Austria presented detailed time-motion studies related to food preparation tasks and in 1935 the U.S. Commerce Dept. formed the National Kitchen Modernization Bureau in order to coordinate kitchen appliance manufacturers and assure continued production. The "ideal kitchen work triangle" was formalized in 1944 and some 6 million kitchens were built during the post-WWll boom. In a small home, custom home plans might feature a built-in dining area. This is a terrific way to create a breakfast nook or informal dining place. Seating benches can tuck right under windows as a way to maximize all the space in the kitchen. The height of the bench should be equivalent to a typical dining chair. about 17 to 19 inches above the floor. If you choose to use an upholstered cushion be sure to deduct for that thickness. Another critical consideration for built-in seating is the depth of the seat. Discomfort felt in restaurant booths is often due to too-deep bottom cushions and inadequate or nonexistent back support. It has been said often that what most people appreciate about a built-in banquette in their custom home plans is the storage possible below the seat. Often, pullout drawers add convenience. Companies like Pottery Barn, Sonoma Home, and Ballard Design may offer upholstered banquette seating designed to fit into any corner. Capture the concept of a built-in eating nook for your kitchen convenience in your custom home plans by discussing this idea with your Architect/Designer. info@dallasdesigngroup.com 972-907-0080 "Architecture for the way you live!" |

Aging in place is the new catchy phrase for 2012 house plans. While most of us want to think of ourselves as eternally young, the fact is that with each passing year, we do age, and our day-to-day activities change, and sometimes even the simplest tasks become harder to accomplish. Some homeowners may choose to downsize, and others may choose to live their golden or silver years in the home they have lived in for decades. Whatever your choice, now or in the future, there are 2012 house plans that provide design solutions to make your "Aging in Place" design easy, convenient and stylish. One of the most important factors in 2012 house plans is adequate lighting. This is of utmost importance and your plans should allow for as much light as possible. A dark room makes tasks like reading a book or reading prescription labels almost impossible. Accessibility throughout a home or condo home is crucial. Keeping a clean and clutter-free floor plan ensures mobility for anyone, including those in wheelchairs. An advisable dimension is 32 to 36 inches for doorways and halls with a 5-by-5 foot space for turning radius. People aging in place may mean designing their home on one level, with no steps or staircases, and even in certain cases designing ramps and elevators. Flooring called for in the 2012 house plans needs to be flat, non-slip, and as maintenance-free as possible for for seniors aging in place.

by: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM 09-24-2011 Wanting to design a home island style might begin with remembering a song, a special vacation or even a tropical favorite drink. There are many luxury mansions built on islands all over the world. Living island style evokes a memory of a relaxed lifestyle. This style is inspired by its surroundings and from the history of the islands themselves. Architects and Designers like to plan luxury mansions in the island style because it is easy ; the underlying theme is ease and comfort and the style brings smiles to everyone who enjoys a beach vacation. In most island style luxury mansions the style is less formal than most traditional interiors. These interiors may even have a sense of humor and casualness about them. Many island homes are built using locally available woods, like mahogany. Cane is also widely used, especially in furnishings as is driftwood. Light plays an interesting ingredient in island style designs of the home itself and of its interior design. Luxury mansions are designed to capitalize on extraordinary views of the surrounding waters and nearby beaches. These homes often are designed with wood or tile floors to maintain the look of a cool interior. Many designers feel that island style is about designing the home to make the most of the location and allowing the simple luxuries of life that surround the home to shine.

by: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM 09-23-2011 When you schedule an appointment to meet with your Architect/Designer to create your custom home plans, one of the first things to think about is what are the ingredients for a dream kitchen. Dream kitchens should have a heavy helping of storage, a fresh crop of chef-approved appliances and maybe a dash of luxurious details. If you entertain at night, lighting should be a key consideration. Are you dreaming of a WOW kitchen? Bring clippings of inspirational kitchens to your design consultation and they will help make your fantasy a reality; a customized kitchen that fits your lifestyle. Many modern kitchens in custom home plans today have a sleek, modernistic design, using cool blues, bronzes and line accents which are easy on the eyes. These style kitchens have stainless steel countertops and clean, sleek cabinets which give the kitchens contemporary appeal. Walking into a house built with custom home plan that feature this type of modern kitchen makes you catch your breath. It can be a sweet surprise every time a "gasper." Guests will walk around the corner and go "whoa." Many clients say they want something cool as in temperature in their kitchens, something sleek, clean and uncluttered. When friends come into their kitchen they want their custom home plans to give off the feeling that it is the friends that warm it up with their laughter, their presence. Using shining European-style stainless steel cabinetry and touches of bronze will reflect light throughout the kitchen space and provide an element of glamor. Every nook and cranny should be designed in your custom home plans to be put to use and you should not compromise functionality for looks. The possibility of designing a triangular island so that the cook or cooks can step into its space and have a work area on both sides is a new idea to think about in your custom home plans. Many homeowners like a raised eat-in bar and under the island counter refrigerator and a combination steam/convection oven.

by: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM 09-21-2011 Of all the components involved in a structure, there is none more significant than the foundation upon which a structure is built. In custom house plans if this part isn't right, the rest of the structure is like to be negatively affected. It is true that mistakes can be made during construction, however none are quite as concerning and as permanently visible as those mistakes occurring in a foundation. For this reason it is important to focus on the most permanent part of every structure and get it right...the first time. The site upon which a foundation is constructed should be carefully considered. Water must drain away from the foundation, and the lot must drain in accordance with local building codes. Site drainage is an important consideration when purchasing land/lots as occasionally the high point of the lot isn't high enough to drain to the point of discharge given the distance of travel. This means the site must have sufficient slope, hence, the foundation pad must be elevated so that water slopes away from all areas of the foundation. Custom house plans designed by Architects/Designers may often require engineered foundation plans that are site specific. Oftentimes they are needed to verify critical elements of the foundation. Engineers often use a form survey as a double check to insure that forms are in the proper location and that the foundation will not extend into areas where a structure is not intended or permitted. The foundation for custom house plans is extremely important and needs to be inspected to assure the homeowner that it conforms. Dallas Design Group has designed thousands of custom residences in Texas, Florida, California, Georgia and across the United States.

by: Alice Wynn 09-13-2011 DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM When you decide to begin the process of designing your custom home plans be sure to provide the Architect/Designer with as much pertinent information about your family and how they live as possible. Some families like to entertain formally while others prefer the informal style of entertaining. Arranging and sizing your living areas is affected by this decision. Likewise, bedroom arrangements, may be affected. Do you have little children or are you expecting them in the future? Are your children teenagers? Are you empty nesters? Are you single? These are all important questions to answer and the answer will affect the planning process for your custom home plans. Do you need or want a formal dining room or would you prefer a dining area in the family room? In designing the master bath area do you want separate closets? Some people prefer one big open closet dressing area while other choose to have their own individual walk-in closets. Have you considered whether you need a game room or do you put priority on a media,home theater room? How many baths do you want? Are your custom home plans to be one story or two story or possibly a split level? Is a basement needed for your particular situation? How about outdoor areas? Will you want to entertain outdoors? If so, do you need a full outdoor kitchen or perhaps just a built-in grill and serving counter. Want an outdoor fireplace planned in your custom home plans? All of these questions are just a few that you will need to think about and discuss when you schedule your meeting. Come prepared and let the Architect/Designer work with you to create your Dream vision, making it a reality you will enjoy for many years to come. info@dallasdesigngroup.com 1-972-907-0080 "Architectural house plans for the way you live!" |
by: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM 09-13-2011 See fresh contemporary house plans today on the Dallas Design Group website. When you choose a contemporary house plan you will be selecting a house plan that has simplified forms, clean lines, and an abundance of windows. These are the traditional trademarks of contemporary Architecture. These three very basic elements can and are mixed and merged in countless ways to create highly distinctive works of art. Architects and Designers have been and are currently inspired by the works of Richard Meier and the organic masterpieces of Frank Lloyd Wright. Their inspiration has led to structures designed with contemporary style. Homeowners choose contemporary house plans, covet them, for their ineffable serenity and calm. Their glass walls give home offices an often-needed airiness, while open and illuminated living spaces make dwellings soothing havens. The living areas of contemporary house plans have natural light streaming in their seamless areas. Although contemporary house plans feature clean lines, many of them are designed with exceptional detailing and materials throughout. The expansive use of windows literally brings the outside in. Many contemporary house plans feature soaring ceilings. Contemporary house plans are often described as the entertainer's dream home due to their chic interior spaces opening up to the outside vistas surrounding the home. Contemporary house plans place a huge emphasis on entertaining, particularly outdoors. The most expensive homes on the market frequently feature outdoor amenities as lavish as those inside: alfresco kitchens complete with refrigerators and warming drawers are common, as well as outdoor rooms centered around freestanding fireplaces. These homes are perfect for casual entertaining, but formal dining rooms for dinner parties are also making a comeback. Today's architects also recognize that the outdoors isn't just for barbecues. Many contemporary homes seek a communion with nature, not just in forms that echo the natural environment, but in the type of materials used. Green, or eco-friendly, building is an enormous trend, using materials and methods that create a sense of harmony and relaxation. |

09-10-2011 by: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM One of the items most often asked for in an Architect/Designer luxury house plan is a master bath that is a work of art. Master baths in a luxury house plan are spacious and are designed with luxurious amenities that give their owners a quiet retreat in a private part of the house. The master bath area must be planned wisely in order to get the full effect of the space because like the kitchen in a luxury house plan; the master bath is a highly functional room that must fit the homeowner's lifestyle. The functionality of the design is combined with aesthetics. Since the master bath will have some of the most expensive square footage in the luxury house plan, the fixtures, surfaces, and amenities should be carefully planned. In addition to two vanities, master baths in a luxury house plan will include a shower big enough for two. a separate bathtub, and possibly two commodes. The master bath area may be designed to have an adjoining walk-in closet or sometimes two-large enough to have a sitting area and built-in cabinets and shelving for shoes. This may preclude the need to dress or store clothes in the bedroom. Another trend in master baths is towards the use of natural light. Master baths may be designed to have large windows that, depending on the view, may be elevated to a height where outsiders can't see in, or they have remote controlled shades that block the view.

by: Alice Wynn 09-10-2011 When our lives begin the parents take care of us, but as they age, the chances are that at some point we will take care of them. It could be as simple as providing extra help for them in their home. Or it could mean moving your parent or parents into your home. House plan modifications are one way to prepare to meet the new needs of aging adults. There are many, easy, simple, quick and affordable steps you can take to make stylish and savvy updates to make your home safer and more enjoyable for you, your family, and your parents. One of the first is to de-clutter. Remove obstacles in the walkways as both children and older adults have reduced reflexes and balance; removing clutter will avoid tripping hazards. The next area to consider is the shower. Your first change may be to add rubber grips to the bottom of the shower to avoid slick surfaces. Next you will probably want to add a seat with a comfortable shower chair and a hand-held multi-function shower head. House plan modifications like changing out door knobs and/or faucets with knobs for leverage-handle models can make everyday tasks easier, especially for small or arthritic hands. If you have stairs, add handrails or decorative hand-grips in high-traffic doorways where there may be a step, such as where you enter the home from the front or garage. Home care by Moen sells 9 inch grips that are easy to install and will blend in with your home decor. Lighting is another area to seriously consider. You can bright en up the home with adding additional reading lamps in bedrooms and family rooms . under-cabinet task lighting in the kitchen, motion-sensor lights near entrances and nightlights. This is very important since by age 60 the average person has been found to need approximately 15 times more lighting than at age 10. Make sure your home is safe by making house plan modifications, your home is your haven. Falls are the leading cause of nonfatal home injuries. Remove throw rugs or ensure that they have a non-slip backing to provide more firm footing, to help you and your loved ones avoid becoming a statistic. These are just a few of the house plan modifications you can make to make your home safer. Our designers can help if you need to enlarge a half-bath to a full bath, for example, add an additional bedroom for your parents or other necessary house plan modifications. |

09-08-2011 Today's homeowners lead a busy lifestyle.. A twenty-four hour day never seems long enough to balance increasingly large to-do-lists with active itineraries. While homeowners continue to gather up personal computers, industrial washing machines and dryers, and the latest technology, they may often overlook the important role that one of the first home technologies -lighting-plays on completing tasks safely and conveniently. Here are a few lighting tips that every homeowner should consider when meeting with their Architect/Designer to discuss their custom home plans. The kitchen is a favorite place to eat and mingle. Ensure that the room is properly designed to be lit for the tasks that are performed there. Work areas , like counters, an island, or sinks should have their own lighting to make tasks safer and easier. One way to do this would be to have the planner design versatile and unobtrusive lighting like under-the-cabinet fluorescent lamps. The combination of using these lights with overhead fixtures helps create shadow-free work areas. Many homeowners overlook the importance of lighting in the bathroom. One little known fact in this regard is that light naturally creates shadows ; therefore when you combine light with mirrors, extra caution must be taken. As your custom home plans are created for your dining room that will house social gatherings around the dining table; it is important to pay attention to the lighting You can easily create a relaxed atmosphere that sets the mood for any dinner party. Chandeliers are used by many homeowners to add elegance and sparkle to a formal dining room. For optimum results, your lighting plans may call for one downlight about twenty four inches on either side of the chandelier above the table for even lighting . Use of this method will reduce glare in the diner's eyes. These are just some of the lighting tricks , i.e. methods used in designing custom home plans. |

In 2012 house plans be sure you have a fire extinguisher within arm's reach of your oven and you may want to consider childproof latches on oven doors and stove handles. Hallways and stairs in your 2012 house plans should be designed by the Architect/Designer with bright lighting near the stairs , smoke detectors in the hallways on each floor and secure railings on both sides of the stairs, including stairs leading to the second level, basement, and for garage entry doors. Ensure that your builder places ground fault circuits in all electrical outlets near water sources.

DDG Luxury Mansion Plan "CHESTERFIELD"
BY: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM 09/03/2011 When meeting with the Architect/Designer of your custom house plans one of the first things to discuss is whether you want a one-story or two-story design. When considering a two-story design, The old adage that states "A man's home is his castle " is familiar and as it happens the spiral staircase most likely originated in a real-life castle. During the Middle Ages spiral stairs were used to reach the top of towers. This ancient design feature has a romantic nature and remains an elegant manner by which to access an upper or lower floor. Spiral staircases in custom house plans can be visually stimulating and aesthetically unique, bridging floors in one of the most space-conservative ways possible. Spiral staircases maximize available floor space. The very first staircases were made of stone. Today they may be metal, iron, or wood. There are building specifications that must be met when the spiral staircase is designed. The oldest spiral stair- maker in the United States .

DDG Luxury Mansion Plan DDG Luxury Mansion Plan DDG Luxury Mansion Plan “RENAISSANCE” “CHALET PRESIDENCIAL” “CHESTERFIELD”
by: Alice Wynn DALLASDESIGNGROUP.COM 09-01-2011 Dallas Design Group Dallas Design Group offers a large number of luxury mansion floor plans on their online site Dallas Design Group.com. There are many characteristics of luxury mansions but first in most people's mind is size. Mansions offer grandeur and sophistication in their design. Luxury mansions will have enchanting interiors. exceptionally detailed mill work throughout the home, exclusive furniture-inspired cabinetry, hand textured walls, some with faux finishes, and tumbled marble, slate, and perhaps antique tile baths. Soaring dome ceilings are prominent in luxury mansions and draw the eye upwards. Libraries are richly paneled and may feature a beamed ceiling and a fireplace and sitting area. A wine grotto will likely be in the floor plan for luxury mansions along with a separate wet bar. The master suite will be grand with a possible separate sitting area and may exhibit a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Hand painted murals and even leaded glass windows are often used throughout luxury mansions. The master bath will be opulent and demonstrate sumptuous elegance. The lush master bath suites in luxury mansions are a haven of beauty and relaxation. They may offer a built-in coffee and wine bar and an exercise room adjoining. I was privileged to work with Dallas Design Group in the architectural design of 10 speculative homes and over 40 build-to-suit residences. Their luxury mansions are superb. I always knew that once my prospects met with DDG, viewed a rendering of the front elevation and a one-eighth-inch floor plan, this would become a home I would soon begin building. Time after time I would hear client comments like “they listened carefully to our wish list and incorporated everything in the plan that we requested.” This firm’s ability to work with people and put their ideas on paper is absolutely amazing. My clients would immediately realize they were working with true professional’s that really cared about what was important to them. Many of the homes they designed for me were on “garden,” “patio,” or “zero lot line” home sites. DDG would always incorporate features in these house plans that they used in their larger estate homes. These design elements included long vistas upon entering the home, dramatic ceiling treatments like barrel and groin vaults, and breathtaking views to the outside area. Anyone considering designing a new home or buying a “Luxury Mansion plan” should consider Dallas Design Group and their outstanding architectural design concepts and superb detail. - Ted Cox, Ebby Halliday Realtors
