The journey of building your dream home is an exciting one, but don’t get too caught up in the excitement of “now” and forget about your future lifestyle. At Compass Homes, we believe in crafting homes that not only fulfill your immediate needs but also evolve with you and your family, over time. All it takes is “more thought.”
By incorporating adaptable spaces, multipurpose rooms, multigenerational floor plans, or aging-in-place features upfront, you can ensure that your home can seamlessly accommodate changing lifestyles and preferences – and avoid costly renovations or expansions later.
Here are a few ways to future-proof your home:
Adaptable Spaces for Versatility
One of the key principles of future-proofing is creating adaptable spaces that can serve multiple functions. Whether it’s a home office that can transform into a guest room or a bonus room that can evolve with your growing family, versatility is key to ensuring that your home remains relevant, for years to come.
At Compass Homes, we collaborate closely with our clients to create flexible living areas that can be easily adapted to changing needs and preferences.
Multigenerational Floor Plans
With the rise of multigenerational living, more and more families are seeking homes that can accommodate multiple generations under one roof. Whether it’s a brief stint between semesters at college, a temporary solution as young adults gain financial independence, or aging parents moving in with their children, multigenerational floor plans offer the flexibility and privacy that modern families crave.
When designing your dream home, take the time to consider first floor in-law suites, secondary kitchens, and separate living areas, as these can ensure that every member of the family has their own space to call home.
Technology Integration for Modern Living
Incorporating cutting-edge technology isn’t just about convenience – it’s about future-proofing your home. Smart technology gives homeowners remote access to everything from window blinds to heating and cooling systems, intercoms, music, lighting, and multimedia devices throughout the home.
With voice and motion control capabilities, as well as intuitive automation that anticipates and reacts to your preferences, integrated systems in your home can enhance comfort and convenience, while adapting to your evolving needs.
Consider these factors during the design process and you will be well-situated to enjoy a lifetime of comfort, convenience, and peace of mind in your dream home.
At Compass, we want to be the home builder of choice in Central Ohio and believe that our unique process, commitment to continuous improvement, and desire to balance efficiency, livability, and details in our homes make us just that. More importantly, we want to be your custom home builder of choice and look forward to working with you to create your forever home.
