Home Design Academy
Chris Novelli of n3 architecture reveals his home design and residential construction strategies to help homeowners learn more about the design and construction process so they can be better equipped to collaborate with builders, architects and contractors allowing them to make better, well-informed decisions when constructing or renovating their home. Discover tips to make your home more energy efficient, sustainable and durable to save money in heating and cooling costs. Your house is one of your largest and most substantial investments and you should never cut corners and use the wrong materials, bad design or outdated construction practices. If you are working with a limited budget I highly recommend that more money is put into building correctly and as energy efficient as possible, rather than spending on fancy materials.You will learn about the various phases of planning and implementing a residential construction project and the methods I use to design my projects.
