How to Make Your House Feel at Home Where It Is

We often see architectural designs that don’t seem to fit in with their surroundings. Following design clues from the environment is a good way to avoid that. Considering the scale, materials, proportion and siting of your house are just a few ways to design with sensitivity.

Think about the backdrop and slope of the land. Designs that join foreground and background work well in perspective and scale.

Consider the vernacular shapes and proportions of existing buildings onsite, and complement these without mimicking the style.
