WHAT
IS A WOMAN-CENTRIC HOME PLAN?
A WOMAN-CENTRIC
HOME PLAN HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR THE WAY WOMEN
ACTUALLY LIVE IN THEIR HOME.
After
five years of market research, surveys and focus
groups, we have implemented the advice and suggestions
of women to give them the plans they really want.
Storage is plentiful, relaxation areas are seamlessly
integrated, places to entertain both formally
and casually are available and much consideration
is given to rooms that can be flexible as your
family's needs change.
THESE PLANS ARE EASY TO VISUALIZE WITH

at a Glance™
How
does the home Live?
Turning the dream of building a home into
reality can be a daunting challenge, with
thousands of decisions along the way. Choosing
a plan can beintimidating because it’s
often difficult to visualize the finished
home and how it will live. To make it easier,
Design Basics has created a new way to present
floor plans to help you narrow the search
for a design that fits your personal lifestyle
and needs. Each floor plan in this plan
book is shown in a conventional layout and
a color-coded version that highlights four
different categories especially important
to women: Entertaining (yellow), De-Stressing
(blue), Storing (orange) and Flexible Living
(green).

|
|
ENTERTAINING
Yellow
areas encompass:
-
formal
rooms for entertaining
- informal,
open living spaces
- outdoor
“rooms”
- kitchens
that encourage guests to gather around a
snack bar
- rooms
for media-related get-togethers (watching movies
or sports events)
- areas
ideal for groups playing cards or board games
|
|
STORING
If you
never have enough storage, you’ll be drawn
to homes with more orange areas, that highlight:
- extra
storage capacity in the garage or laundry room
- rear
foyer storage
- generous
kitchen pantries
and linen closets
- over-sized
bedroom closets
- additional
unfinished areas in the basement or on the upper
level
|
|
DE-STRESSING
If you’re
looking for ways to de-stress your life, you’ll
appreciate homes with a lot of blue spaces. Some
blue areas offer relaxation, such as:
- personal
getaways
- a
privately located master suite
- a
walk-in shower or whirlpoola
quiet porch or a craft area
- a quiet porch or a craft area
Others provide unusual organizational features
such as:
- split
vanities
- rear foyer
- drop
zones that keep keys, briefcases, umbrellas,
cell phones and laptops in one convenient spot
|
|
FLEXIBLE
LIVING
Green
areas designate rooms that offer flexible living
spaces that can adapt to unique situations:
- rooms
that can be combined to create in-law-suites
- home
offices (occasionally even his and her offices)
- bedroom/bath
arrangements that work well for blended families
- music
rooms
- homeschool
rooms
- craft
or gardening centers
- offices
that can become
dining rooms
- dens
that become guest rooms
