Your dream home!

Sorry I did not see your post before...Let me start.

As a dream home I definitely want cosy ,comfortable and built with amneties. I also like character in a house.

Like my PIL's home was built by their ancestors and is beautiful with lots of land around and mature trees..Its very tranquil and I love it.

Here in US ...I love my house as it has an open plan and so looks spacious...has 3 balconies and also has sliding doors from those balconies.

we have hard wood floor and I like that...

yet to start my dream house project

 

Yes as the OP rightly said a very nice section without being used properly.

I have always dreamed a home for myself - Forget about dream home my first dream is to get a home.


Atlast after a great hunt spanning for 3+ years me and DH have managed to book in a flat in bangalore where we stay for a few years now. We do not have ideas of moving out of this city which flaunts an execellent climate and good educational opporutnities available here.

I would be watching "HOT PROPERTY" show in ndtv regularly to figure out new ways to beautifum home and new ideas for furnishing etc.. as i feel that i lack on that part.


My dream home is a big individual house... not in a residential area,but rather i want my residence to be an area , a massive one with

1. A Compound wall being of atleast 18 ft height with the security lining over the wall( either an electric one or the normal one with crumpled glasses on th wall)

2. 7 feet distance from the wall should be a line of Ashoka trees, or any other treee tat is perennial.

3. The house compund should enclose atleast 5 acres of land.

4. There should be a garden with beautiful flowers, the mended crotons or ornamental plants take back seat - I prefer ones that are naturally beautiful.

5. I want a guest house seperate in the campus - one with a Big and neat kitchen and a grand dining hall and a couple of working rooms in the ground floor and atleast 3-4 bedroom suites with an attaached small kitchen in the first floor and a nice open space with a thatched roof in the secoond floor and walls of thatched wood.

6. the house should be the end of a beautoifuk drive way lined by lawn. A Big HAll with a kitchen on one side, a big grand dining hall, anoffice room in the front , a small and cute reading room( small library), a room for the aged with all facilities.

A big stair case shouldlead to the next floor with a couple of bedrooms and another two bedrooms coupled togehter all of them with beautful balconies facing the garden.

7. Coming to the garden, it should be two parts one haviung the household vegetables simple one close to the back yard of the house. The other one bigger sprawling through the left over area of the campus filled with natural plants, shrubs, or creepers that are by themselves beautiful and doesnt require and cutting or pruning. Rose plants ,DAhlia,s and some other fragrant loveky coloured evening flowering ones are must.I prefer roses and dahlias of all possible colours.I want jasmine in the back yard of the main house.

8. There should be a swimming pool and a seperate pond with a couple of ducks/ swans,i want pigeons in the house, a single pup and a kitten too all having their own dwellings.

that is all for now on my dream home . I feel that i should have a house like this before i die. I am sure I can have it very well

 

wow nice thread let me share my dream too...

first i need a minimum of 25cents /10,000 sq.ft area ... with 1500 -2000sq.ft house...in a village atmosphere, if not - atleast few kilometers away from the city ,in a calm n serene area.

need a good landscaping ,with artificial rocks, waterfalls [luv that sound of water ] , lots of pebbles....greenery n with many coconut trees around [i admire it a lot , esp. those long leaves ], 1 or 2 mango trees , 1 jackfruit tree [but i hate jackfruits ] n surely a neem tree too.... n few bonsais n flowerings plants.

I need a well, inside my compound –though it has become a rare thing nowades.

my house should be a single storey with 3 BR, living ,kitchen etc, as usual... but with lot many windows - which provides natural light... and I want my house to be eco-friendly.

Few years back, we had visited a friend, an architect - he’s quite famous in his field – the reason is he uses lots of natural items like mud , bamboo etc… and his projects are cost effective too ,and that is his beauty n success . I was totally surprised, when he told me that his office room was constructed with mud – it had a very cool atmosphere inside …. You will never need an a/c there…even in summer . surely I will approach this person, for his innovative n cost effective ideas….

living room - with traditional mural paintings on one side of the wall...centre courtyard , few antique items , low -level sofa seaters[a bit of traditional arabic style ] ,indoor plants ,and flooring should be Athangudi - Chettinad style tiles, I would like to include lot many ganeshas [ I love him too ] , terracotta art-works… on the whole it should be a blend of traditional and contemporary ideas.



next is the bathroom – that’s another attraction for me …. I always tell my hubby ,that the master bedroom should have a biggggg , cosy bathroom. According to me , it’s a place where we spend few minutes , all for ourselves:exactly:. A bathroom with a small open ceiling at one extreme , which allows natural light + which gives way for rain too…. The floor just below the open area – should have sand and pebbles…. I kno, this may sound weird :hide: ….. but imagine taking a shower , on a heavy rainy day – on watching the rain… [ since my house is within a big compound , no outsiders can peep into my private room ….am i rite :crazy ] and if I need such a bathroom , I kno I may have to built my house in kerala , where there’s rain for 6mnths…:biglaugh:biglaugh


these are the 3 things which I think n plan a lot…..when I think of my dream house !!! I’l get back to this topic again…. When I start thinking about the rest of the rooms ....
