4/1/09: A European Style House For An Affordable Price.

The present worldwide economic strain has changed the expectations home buyers have of their houses. They need to be affordable and efficient. And they need to be able to adjust, once their situation improves again.

Our new P.1 home is designed as a European style house that can do that for you.. t starts at a 24 feet by 24 feet one floor base unit. It will offer all the amenities you expect from your modern dwelling.

The base unit will be designed to be affordable to build. Keeping local building cost and current local prices for trades and materials in mind we are aiming at a $105 per square foot price, giving you a European style house for $60,480 construction cost. This price will have to adjust, of course, to your local pricing standards and the final design.

The cool thing about this concept is for one that it is designed to function in many different ways right of the bat. It could be your starter home, an independent guest house, a home office, a rental unit in your back yard, a vacation cottage in the mountain or at the beach, an addition to an existing house, and much more.

Secondly this “pod”, as we call it, is also conceived to be able to grow right from the beginning or in the future as your needs or economic outlook changes. In other words this pod can function as a base unit that can be added on with one or more additional pods. By offering this you can have an affordable European style house that can serve any life style and change in lifestyle. If you are a single parent with in-laws living with you, a single professional with a home office, a larger family with a independent live-at-home teenager, a couple of two, or anyone else, this simple and affordable European style modern house could be ideal for you.

3/18/09: The Art of Modern House Plans!

We draw great inspiration in the design of our modern house plans from our involvement in contemporary art.

Too often architecture and the building industry find themselves reduced to a process of piling up materials and mitigating restrictions and building codes. We believe, however, that we are involved in the creation of spaces and built environments that bring riches to your daily life. We spend the majority of our lives within our manmade surroundings. And we draw great strength from our private and public settings. We need to pay great attention to the quality of those spaces. A quality that deals with warmth, cozy protection, with a sense of timeless comfort, and with the yearning for memories lived. It is a quality that comes from meeting habits and the engagements of life. It works with your senses; tactile, visual and sound.

To meet these strong needs we work on and stay innovative in the selection of materials, their textures and sensual strength. We incorporate the play of light into our modern house plans, to let light and shadows create patterns, where warmth is needed, and keep direct sunlight out, where glare needs to be reduced. We take a close look at circulation patterns and proximity of certain areas of use. We fine-tune spatial qualities, the proportions of spaces. We incorporate structural elements of the building into these considerations to have exposed beams or posts help shape these environments appropriately.

To bring these qualities to our modern house plans, we consider our work that of an art. We have to start with a specific set of skills and then use it to create a lived piece of art that transcends practicalities and reaches a very real felt importance in the lives of our customers. To do so we learn from the great contemporary art that surrounds us and we are involved with. Surprisingly, the professional degrees of architecture in the US are called Bachelor of Art in Architecture. All licensed architect have acquired that degree. And yet, the art seems to be dropped too often and too quickly in the work and endeavors we found ourselves in.

We certainly hope we serve you well with our approach and are creating true pieces of art in the selection of modern house plans we offer. Have a look!

Welcome to Dialect Design’s modern house plans. At Dialect Design we believe that modernity must be more than skin deep. We design with the focus on quality.

When viewing our modern and contemporary home plans look for • flexible zones that adapt to different life styles • semi-translucent walls that transform a garage into a Japanese lantern • sliding partitions • juxtaposing spaces • separate entries and autonomous kitchenettes • roof terraces that offer views of a city skyline or a countryside • spaces that blur the line between the inside to the outside.

If you have the need for specific qualities that you miss in our European style house plans, please visit our “commission a design” page or drop us a line.
