Why build “smaller”?
Substance and quality over size will make the space you live in feel like a home that is uniquely yours instead of just a house you function in day to day.
A “smaller” house doesn’t necessarily mean “small.” We advise our clients to reduce the overall square footage they originally had in mind (or what their currently living in today) by 1/4 to 1/3 but expect to spend the same budget. Focusing more of the budget on details that emphasize quality over quantity will provide the framework for a design that is much more beautiful, functional and tailored to your lifestyle. You’d be surprised what you can do with less space as along as that space is designed with the details that make it feel spacious, interesting and cozy.

-
04. REVIEW & FINALIZE
You’ll receive your construction drawings & schedules plus 3D renderings to provide your builder and interior designer
Bring Your Home to Life with 3D Exterior Renderings
Now you can see exactly what your home will look like before it is built. No more flat 2D drawings that only provide “static” imagery giving you little idea how your home will look after construction. With 3D renderings there is no more guesswork. You can relax knowing that your design is exactly what you had in mind when you started the build journey!

About PICCOLA CASA DESIGN
We’re passionate small home creators dedicated to designing smart, quality, and thoughtful homes -
We design “smaller” residential homes. Smaller homes are not only practical, they are warm, cozy and beautiful when designed thoughtfully.
We believe 3D rendering is beneficial to designing a small home because it spatially shows how the home will look and feel. These types of renderings provide assurance that although you may be reducing your square footage, you aren’t compromising on curb appeal, efficiency, storage, quality, interest and comfort.
