Q: Can a house be too open-plan?

• <div><p>Open floor plans can come with drawbacks&mdash;mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid&rsquo;s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.</p></div>

Q: How much does universal design cost?

• <div><p>Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.</p></div>

Q: At what point in my project should I involve an architect?

• <div><p>You should have an architect involved in your project from the very beginning. They&rsquo;ll be able to direct your vision into workable plans, and they can advise you on potential problems right from the start. You may be able to save money by not using an architect, but larger projects will go much more smoothly with an experienced pro directing the process.</p></div>

Q: Where can you find Federal architecture?

• <div><p>Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.</p></div>

Q: How do you prepare for an architect meeting?

• <div><p>Get prepared to meet with an architect by having a clear idea of what you&rsquo;re looking for, a list of questions to ask, and as many project details as you can provide. The more information you can provide and receive from a prospective architect will help you decide who to hire.</p></div>
