I have been fortunate to have helped designed more than 20 custom homes and nearly 100 remodels of private clients. A goal that is nearly a part of every one of those projects in one way or another is an emphasis on the quality of the space, how it relates to its surroundings, and how it contributes in a meaningful way to the living experience of the inhabitants.
Here is a wonderful TEDx Talk I came across from Douglas Newby, a Dallas based realtor that echos this observation. Enjoy!
