[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are local custom builders and we employ a licensed AIA architect who cuts up designs just like these. Some are spec homes, others are where our homeowner clients comes to us and then sits down with this architect to design the plan. So the argument that builders just use a "draftsman/CAD operator" is just BS. The fact most don't want to face is these homes sell because they are large and spacious and that is why architects design them and we build them. I don't see this changing anytime soon..[/quote] I have zero problems with a large, spacious home. But why does your architect choose asymmetrical windows, graceless rooflines, or features from a mix of eras (like gables with castle turrets)? The buyers aren't making those choices, you are. The buyers are buying despite these features, because space and location trump aesthetic problems. [/quote]
