| A 2 Story Farmhouse Style Home for Multi-Generational Families. |
I am glad you are here.
The Goal
I am client-focused. Plan House, LLC exists to bring you professional home design solutions for your projects whatever your style preferences or your needs. Whether you are a homeowner, builder, or developer you will work directly with me to reach the perfect design solution. Clients share in the vision, imagination, and creative process to shape the design. Erik collaborates with clients to set goals to guide the team throughout the planning and building process.
What is a Building Program?
I work your building program. If you don’t have one, I will create one with you. A building program answers the vital questions
that move your project from mere shelter to a sublime relationship of
people and environment that extends beyond the four walls.
Mere Shelter
Mere shelter is important and I spend lots of time getting
that right. It is the covering to protect and comfort you. The roof, walls
doors, windows, floor, finishes, and furniture. If those needs are met, then it
is a good solid house fit for anyone to live and thrive in. That in itself is successful.
The Subline Design
The subline is more than the aesthetical beauty of the façade or interior design. Sublime is sensation, imagination, and reason. The relationship of people to their environment inside the house but also what is outside.He [Kant] considers both the beautiful and the sublime as "indefinite" concepts, but where beauty relates to the "Understanding," sublime is a concept belonging to "Reason," and "shows a faculty of the mind surpassing every standard of Sense."
