Simple home planning

home

Not a minimalism that is overly obsessed with emptiness, just with leaving out what’s extraneous. Everything in the home is purposeful, and every space is thought out for our specific uses, making it feel just right.

Important aspects of the home

  • No big yard. Ideally no lawn at all
  • Small. Maximum size around 140 square meters / 1500 square feet
  • Two rooms and two bathrooms with a cozy guest bathroom
  • All items fit within the storage of the home
  • Visibly open spaces with no clutter
  • Great natural lighting at all times of the year
  • Well-planned spaces that inspire heavy use of the whole home

The home shouldn’t only look good. Lifestyle comfort shouldn’t be sacrificed for visual effects. Rather, every object must have a useful purpose in the home. Styling inspiration comes from channels such as Stacked Homes, Never Too Small and The Local Project.

Secondary desires and details

Having these features, or eventually extending the home to have these features is highly desired. These can significantly raise the quality of life.
