Designing a Home - House Sketch (Part 1)

Now that we were done with the builder, our next step was to design the house. We had a sketch in our mind, and we were hoping that it comes out in real, from paper to bricks !

We narrated our requirements to the builder, and he used some software, add his own suggestions, and provided some rough sketches (graphics rather !) to us. We debated day and night for on the final plan of our house, and at finally, after long discussions, we finally settled for a common sketch out, which overall satisfied every member's requirement.

There was a small garden,and enough parking for two cars  at the front. The entrance opened in the main hall of the house, which has stair moving to the first flour. In the ground floor, we had a bedroom, and a kitchen next to it. The bedroom has a bathroom attached, and we made sure that its far away from the kitchen. We also ensured that there is enough space for air and light in every room. We designed windows accordingly.

On the first floor, we had a living room, and 3 bedrooms, all of them were attached to bath room. and finally we had the terrace, which gave us a fantastic view of the colony ! The fact that there was a nice park right  in front of us made the whole scene even more pleasant, cheery on the cake !
