Thank you. I am pretty much new to this building the dream house situation, and I have no clue if I will hire an architect, wonder if he would do everything including all those design inside the house. Is there like a company you can hire and do all those for you?

Seeing your comments to TurboB, there are many architects who act both as home designer and interior designer. However, you must keep in mind that if you do not provide firm guidance, the architect will design the house that THEY want, which is not necessarily the house that YOU want. By this, I mean to say that it is YOUR house and if you don't like something the architect wants to do, tell them so.It is a lot easier to fix a funky design with a pencil than a crowbar.
In the process of selecting an architect, you should look at examples of the architect's work, and ask owners of homes that the architect has designed to give you their opinions of the work done. I have worked with some very good architects, and I have worked with some architects who I felt did not have the knowledge to actually design a functional house. Interior decorators are another kettle of fish entirely, and in my experience, the only thing crazier than asking an interior designer to design your house is asking TWO interior designers to design your house, and doing everything both of them say.
THANK YOU very much. This is very helpful for me m3mai 11 months ago .
(and yes, I speak from experience about the two interior decorators) .
Not if they are a husband and wife team...because the interior designer will always be right! Com.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
