Home Design at Home

You know that I’m a graphic and apparel designer… but did you know that I’m also a home designer?  Neither did I, until recently.  I’ve always been interested in the spaces that we call home… and those we call work, school, gym, restaurant, retail shop, etc.  I’ve been stopping the car to tour model homes since the day I got my license, I have had architectural plans up on walls around my house for years for no apparent reason, and I’m a subscriber to several home design and architectural magazines…. how did I not see this coming?  Anyway, I just stumbled upon  Homestyler and it’s the most amazing thing I think i’ve ever found on the internet.  

Autodesk has just launched this incredible home designe software that allows anyone and everyone to design their own home or space.  The program works in both 2D plan view, and 3Dimensional view to give you great perspective on spacial relations throughout your project.  It is set on a grid and allows you to make precise measurements of every aspect of the design.  Since all elements are extremely alterable, you can make mistakes and fix them, change your mind and re-draft, or save and continue.  This is amazing because it brings the advanced tools of the trade to anyone with an internet connection – and makes it even easier to try things.

My interest in living and working space design is this: I feel you can never underestimate the significant role that our environments and surroundings play in our attitudes and outlooks, both moment-to-moment and long term.  I am approaching this venture more as “lifestyle design” than home design, as I think the ultimate goal is for the finished space to let its occupants naturally lead a certain desired lifestyle. In this, the space is innately emphasizing the pleasures and pass-times that cut to the core and essence of that lifestyle.  Homestyler has already helped me find new ways to do this – it’s awesome.
