Are architecturally designed buildings more expensive?
Particularly in the residential field, this theory is often raised. In the design of an individual residence tailored to the client’s individual requirements, an architect’s focus is more largely upon quality of space over that of quantity. Naturally an individually designed residence will incur a greater cost per area than a project home, and as a result the same sized home may not be achievable for the same budget. However for the same budget a well designed individually tailored residence can offer you more valuable space. The motto we would like our clients to adopt is not ” how cheap can I build my house ” but ” how important is cheap to me “.
