My family loves a lot of natural light. Since this is our home, we custom tailored it to meet our needs. We wanted great views of the surrounding woods and pastures. The home is so full of natural light that unless the sun has gone down or is behind clouds, we don't need to use the lights. At only 2,115 square feet, we also wanted the home to feel as large as possible and be as functional as possible for our large family of 7. The popular open concept helps in this regard, as well as making it easier to include the whole family and keep an eye on the little ones. The beauty of having a custom home plan drawn up, is that you can tailor your home to meet your individual needs and tastes. Get the most with what you can afford. A great layout will save space but feel larger than it is.
