Most off the rack production houses are not so much designed as themed; Mediterranean, French, Country, Faux, Tudor, Neo-Colonial, etc. These homes may offer voluminous spaces but generally lack any interesting architectural details, especially on the interior. Most are poorly proportioned. Amazingly, these homes are very similar coast to coast, regardless of the vernacular of their specific regions. The latest trend for custom homes suggests bigger is not better. Spend budget dollars on interesting design details and finishes vs. vanilla square footage.
