Creating a Village Home Design

June 6, 2023

Building your dream house can be one of the most thrilling experiences you ever have! A stunning house reflects both your individuality and personality in its design; yet there are numerous factors that could change or influence it.

An attractive single-floor village house design does not have to break the bank; using quality materials will create lasting looks.

Large but modern

As remote work has become the new normal due to the Coronavirus pandemic, more people are turning to village house designs as an effective means of creating a comfortable and relaxing space for themselves. When purchasing plans online it is crucial that you clearly communicate this understanding to your designers so you receive exactly what you require from their designs.

Conventional hut-themed basic house designs are extremely popular and make an excellent way to bring rustic Indian dwellings into your home design. These homes typically feature sloped or tilted roofs.

Traditional village houses feature another distinguishing characteristic: padippura. This roofed entrance connects the front and rear of the house and serves to blend in seamlessly with the environment while creating an aesthetic and cost-effective entryway, helping it blend in better. Sloped roofs also tend to cost less to construct and maintain than flat ones.

Beautiful front garden

Village home designs often incorporate beautiful front gardens as part of their design, which not only elevate the look but also make the property more appealing to visitors. You can add various features without breaking the bank; just make sure that you create and stick to a budget in order to avoid overspending.

Wooden decked paths provide an easier solution for front garden ideas than paving slabs or brick alternatives, and can further be softened by planting each side with overgrown foliage, plants and lavender.

If your home is enclosed by a fence, incorporating colourful painted pickets is an easy and cost-effective way to give its exterior an inviting cottage-style appearance. Boxwood topiaries add further depth while dressy flower arrangements give windowsills and balconies a vibrant edge.

Two-pillar village house front design

Two-pillar village house designs make an aesthetically pleasing statement on a larger piece of land, providing your home with an impressive presence and appearance. Plus, adding an appealing front garden will only increase its charm!

Living in a village can be an ideal way to connect with nature and appreciate its peaceful setting, yet it is crucial that village homes be strong enough to withstand unexpected weather events such as rainstorms and flooding.

Choose a home design that meets both your budget and lifestyle needs, and create a reserve fund for any unexpected expenses that arise. Doing this will help avoid overspending which can create financial strain, as well as covering unexpected repairs costs related to renovations or other necessary repairs that arise later on. It will also enable you to make adjustments as required for your village home design.

Multi-storey village house

Village homes tend to utilize low technology and organic materials like stones and mud bricks. Furthermore, wide windows promote natural ventilation to maintain cool rooms during summer and warm ones during winter without needing artificial cooling systems - providing coolness when needed while giving homeowners an opportunity to appreciate the landscape and garden beyond.

Many Hong Kong villages feature village houses built on plots awarded under the former Village Block Crown Lease (now called Block Government Lease) from 1905, which are subject to regulation under the Small House Policy and cannot be sold off-plan; their owner or developer must first pay a land premium before receiving a Certificate of Compliance from the Lands Department before selling them off-plan.

Purchase of a village house can be more complex than purchasing a flat in a new development, due to stricter mortgage guidelines for such properties and banks' stringent due diligence processes. They will look into title issues, permitted uses, legality of construction and any encumbrances before lending money for its purchase.
