The Design Phase

Design is where ideas meet constraints. It is not just about how the space looks. It is about whether the layout works with the structure, site, systems, and budget.

What gets decided

• Layout and flow.
• Openings, doors, and windows.
• Finish level.
• Utility routing.
• Storage, privacy, and circulation.

What goes wrong

Over-customization is the classic trap. If every feature feels equally important, the design stops making decisions and starts collecting wishes.
