I'm not sure I understand, you're wondering about physically building a room (with drywall, let's say) in a potential future house and designing the layout of it for maximum comfy?

>>160498
Yeah, I was thinking about something like that. More than building a bedroom for myself that would be my one singular room I was thinking about carving out a section of the house for myself that would encompass my bedroom, personal computer room, bathroom, and closet. A way to somewhat live semi-independently while at the same time living at home with family and not losing any of the convenience of all the other facilities a normal house offers should I want to go upstairs outside of my room.

I can't say I've ever thought about something like this, but it does sound nice. It reminds me a bit of those homes that are basically built as one house, but are divided into two or more segments with their own bathrooms and all the necessities. My childhood home was one of those, with a big universal storage room connecting the 3 individual homes with just normal doors that you'd lock or put some big furniture in front if you don't care to use the storage room yourself. Perhaps you can get something like that built for yourself if you can afford it, having the contractors build it as one house with 2 homes from the get-go. I'm just a poor bum so I don't know if you could just slip a company a crude drawing of your dream layout and they make it work somehow with their architectural expertise, I assume most just offer already established designs and custom work is gonna cost a fortune.

Probably much cheaper to just get a big enough normal house and segment it yourself, I bet you wouldn't even need that much expert knowledge to just put up a few walls and can pay people to customize the essential parts like piping and such.

I can see some issues in that you'd have to move to a different room/temporarily move out while the construction is taking place, your family would have to put up with the construction and you would miss out on some amount of autonomy you'd get by completely moving out
Also just the pain of construction itself (price, expectation vs reality etc.)
Though it is certainly cheaper than moving into a new home/building one from scratch and I suppose the psychological effects of "This is my place and it's tailored to me" can't be understated

I mean, if you like the idea and have the money/opportunity to do it, i'd say go for it. Though, if you're going to build it in an already existing house, you might want to properly think and plan out how you want it be, and what changes you'd need to make in the house. Winging it might not the best thing to do when it comes to making something you're going to be spending most of your time with.
Another option, that would probably be less work, is to just find a small one room apartment. But if you don't want to live completely independently i guess that's not really the right option.
There's also the option of finding a house with like an independent guest cabin or something along that line. Then you'd have like a bedroom and bathroom, maybe even a stove, for yourself, but the main house would only be a few steps away.
Anyway, just a couple of options to consider if you want.

Personally, i've always been found of small one room solutions that maximizes space usages. Like, a 2x2x2 room that has everything you need, but efficiently placed or packed away to maximize the use of the small space you have, but has everything so you can live completely independently. I'm living in a normal one room apartment right now and my parents would freak out if i actually "downgraded" into such a place instead of moving to a "real" house with a yard and such and making a family as a next step, so i've left that idea aside for now.

>I don't know if you could just slip a company a crude drawing of your dream layout
I'm now imagining a short anon standing on their toes, reaching up towards a desk to just about being able to place a crude but colorful crayon doodle of a floor plan and looking up excitedly at the construction worker.

Well, it's a skill people go to college for and it's a six figure job for a reason, lots of expertise and responsibility. You need to learn stuff like CAD and basic engineering alongside it if you want to do it right. Lots of horror stories of people doing things themselves and paying the price for not respecting forces of nature like corrosion or basic stuff like structural support. I would personally never build something that if I mess up will kill me or a loved one. We live in a civilization that's possible because of specialization so it's best to rely on the specialists.
If you mean something like interior design, though, sure. I've thought about what to do if money fell from the sky and I built a house. I'd probably make a design and then talk to experts that would tinker it to something that makes sense to them from a design standpoint. Sometimes people need to be talked down from their dreams because it doesn't make sense in real life, you need that second voice of reason.
Or maybe just go "touring" online houses and find what I like best and assemble some sort of combination thing. Don't need to reinvent the wheel, after all.

older Marina is really cute

architecture is one of those professions where lots of people try to make it(professionally) but only a handful do. Dunno why but I imagine being an actual architect is very hard

I gave a lot of thought of this then got robbed of my chance to do it.

Forgot embed. I wanted to do something like this so badly and ended up with modern shack built with timber and dry wall because someone else went behind my back and looted my inheritance

>>160517
I find this inherently cool but I wouldn't want to do it with these people

>>160519
Yeah that's how I feel about it too. The appeal for me what being able to build it in any shape I wanted and it being hard as stone once it hardens. I want to build multiple circular rooms and connect them. Then do Japanese style porches and huge central fireplace. The fireplace would heat the floor and walls making it ultra comfy in winter. It naturally stays cool in summer.

I want to have an entire house of my own built, not just one room.

look at this rich kid

and I'm searching for a housewife too

No can do
How about a card board box and a reasonably priced onahole instead?

>>160524
presumably the cardboard box is full priced then?

>>160525
Yes, but who knows what's inside (might even be another onahole)
