Crafting Your Lifestyle Brief

This is the full checklist from Chapter 2 of The Legacy Home Planner. Use this as your discovery tool. Be detailed and specific about your family’s needs and dreams. Add more questions, really think this through!

Daily Routines & Flow

Where does morning coffee happen? (e.g., kitchen island, cozy nook, front porch)

Is there a dedicated "drop zone" for keys, mail, and bags near the primary entrance?

How many people typically cook in the kitchen at once?

Is a large walk-in pantry for bulk storage important?

Where will pets eat, sleep, and have their own space?

Is a main-floor master suite a priority for accessibility and aging in place?

Do you prefer an open-concept living area or more defined, separate rooms?

Future-Proofing & Long-Term Vision

Is there a possibility that elderly parents might live with you in the future?

Do you anticipate grandchildren visiting frequently?

Are wider doorways and zero-threshold showers important for future accessibility?

Should the home be designed to accommodate a potential future elevator?

Do you need flexible rooms that can change function over time (e.g., nursery to office)?

Connection to the Outdoors

Is a large, covered deck or porch for outdoor dining essential?

Would you use a screened-in porch to enjoy evenings without insects?

Which rooms should have the best views, and what are those views of (sunrise, sunset, mountains)?

Is an outdoor kitchen or dedicated fire pit area part of the vision?

Do you need a space for gardening, such as a potting bench or a utility sink in the garage?
