The Dynamic Family lifestyle calls for some creative thinking when it comes to your habitat! I’ve been in the exact same place as you are – trying to develop a Home for my Dynamic Family with all of its quirks, finding (much as I love them all) the task to be CHALLENGING beyond my imagination, and also (most of the time) REWARDING beyond my imagination!
*Are you on the brink of becoming a Dynamic Family and are just moving in together with the kids of your partner and your kids in your new home? I’ve been there!
*Have your family recently outgrown your house (with the new baby and all) and you need to rethink how every square meter of it to make room for everyone? I’ve been there!
*Have your increasingly Dynamic Family outgrown even your re-planned house and you see that you need to find a new home for you and your family? I’ve been there!
*Does it seem impossible to find a house within your budget that suits the special requirements of your non-nuclear family, and you’re thinking that your only option is to buy some old house and have it rebuilt to fit your Dynamic Family? I’ve been there!
*Does your home still have some challenges left to be solved, some rooms that should be rethought or some problem-area of your house or garden that needs developing? I’ve been there! (Actually, I am still here, come to think of it… It is just part of owning a house, and having a constantly evolving family, I guess.)
The idea of this web-site is to offer plenty of information, ideas, examples, pictures, sketches, etc. etc. You are welcome to browse around at your leisure; read about my day-to-day experiences with decluttering, organizing our stuff, and renovation-projects, and lots more, or ask a question at Ask the Architect.
If you still want more, why not get an expert opinion about your Dynamic Family Home situation from an established architect and experienced Dynamic Family parent at Get a Consultation? For a reasonable fee I will do my very best to give you some valuable advice.
