The Vision - Conceptualizing An AR Homes Model

Introduction

Welcome to the first part of our “behind the model home” series at Interiors by AR Homes, where we take you through the intricate process of designing one of our model homes.

Unlike typical industry blogs that follow the build of a customer’s home, we provide a unique glimpse into how we conceptualize and bring our model homes to life.

Concept Meeting

The journey of designing a model home starts with a comprehensive concept meeting. This critical session lays the foundation for the entire project and involves key team members, including the builder, designer, architect, and 3D renderer.

Community

We begin by reviewing the community where the model home will be located. Understanding the community’s vibe, amenities, and general aesthetic helps us tailor our design to fit seamlessly into its surroundings.

Target Price

Establishing the target price for the model home is crucial. This helps guide our design choices and ensures that we stay within budget while delivering exceptional quality and luxury.

Buyer Profile

Identifying the buyer profile is another essential step. Whether we’re targeting empty nesters, retirees, families, or second-home buyers, understanding our audience helps us design a home that meets their specific needs and desires.

Features of the House

We discuss the features to be included in each room, such as fireplaces, porches, bars, and any special features that will make the home stand out.

Overall Aesthetic

Deciding on the overall aesthetic—be it modern, transitional, rustic, or another style—sets the tone for the entire design process.

Timeframe

Establishing a realistic timeframe helps keep the project on track and ensures timely completion.

1st Schematic Design Meeting

With the initial concept in place, we move on to the first schematic design meeting. This is where our ideas start taking shape.

Basic Floor Plans

We begin developing basic floor plans, focusing on the layout and flow of the home. This step is crucial for ensuring functionality and harmony in the design.

Special Features

We start discussing in more detail the special features that will be incorporated into the home. This includes unique elements that will set our model home apart from others.

In the second schematic design meeting, we refine our ideas further.

Inspiration and Finalizing Plans

We provide additional inspiration to our architects, drawing closer to finalizing the plans. This collaborative effort ensures that every detail is meticulously thought out.

Selection of Materials and Finishes

Once the design is nearly complete, we move on to selecting interior and exterior materials, finishes, and the overall color scheme.

Interior and Exterior Selections

Our designer selects high-quality materials and finishes that align with the aesthetic and functionality we aim to achieve. This includes everything from flooring and cabinetry to paint colors and exterior siding.

Furniture and Lighting

We also select furniture and lighting that complement the design, ensuring a cohesive look throughout the home.

Final Presentation and Approval

With all selections made, we present the final interior and exterior choices, as well as the chosen furniture and lighting, to the team for approval.

Final Set of Plans

After incorporating any last-minute adjustments, we finalize the set of plans. These plans serve as the blueprint for the construction phase.

Transition to Construction

With the final plans approved, we transition to the construction phase, treating it as if we were building a home for a client. The next part of our series will delve into the construction phase, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that bring our designs to life.

Conclusion

The conceptual phase of our model homes is a meticulous process that blends inspiration, creativity, and practical planning. By taking you behind the scenes, we hope to give you a deeper appreciation for the artistry and effort that goes into creating each Interiors by AR Homes model. Stay tuned for the next part of our series, where we explore the detailed design and planning stages.
