So, I was talking about designing our new home. Now as I see my house, I can give you some tips, that might help you in giving final touches to your paper map. I would advice that all houses should have enough free space for light and air to come in. That for me, is the most practical requirement, that we all should aim at. Next, although I am not a big believer of Vaastu, I would still suggest you to follow its basics, especially regarding the entrance gate of the house.
On a practical note, I would advice that kitchen should be as far away from all the toilets as possible ! So should be the 'Puja' room, i.e. if you plan to make one. It should have a small garden, and it should be full of trees, big and small. These things helps in keep the envirnment around the house fresh and heathy.
If you are planning any modern look for your home, then you should always consider it with respect to rainy season. All the slopes should be in accordance, so that water from terrace doesn't sticks anywhere by any means. Slopes are of utmost importance here ! Don't just go for looks, they wont count after a few months, so be practical and plan your home according to comfort, and not mere style !

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 !
