The enjoyment continues because of the hard work that went before

Considering that we were raising a child, we started looking for a land plot primarily in Machida, and we decided to build a two-family home after coming into contact with Principal Home.
The decisive factor was the courteous manner of the sales representative and his willingness to share his real estate knowledge with us.
Our biggest request was keeping the entrance doors separate so that the house didn’t look like a duplex, and we also wanted an open living room with a high ceiling.
On living here, we are satisfied with the quiet surroundings and the spaciousness afforded by the detached structure.
During the building, we had a situation where the exterior walls were built facing the wrong way; however, the immediate response of the builders only enhanced my sense of trust in the company, not the opposite.
We had a lot of anxiety because there were so many things we didn’t understand about building a two-family home; however, by actively asking questions to the consultant, we were able to proceed smoothly.
While a custom-built home brought with it a burden of options, it also provided us with much enjoyment as the burden.

I really felt like I could trust this person.

We took the birth of our child as an opportunity to build our own home.
We also considered a ready-built house; however, we decided on a custom-built home after realizing that we could achieve our ideal within budget. The company representative had a sense of humor and a trustworthy character, and he carefully listened to our wishes.

We were particularly keen on dividing the living/dining/kitchen area into two rooms. The living room has a tidy appearance with the TV built into the wall, while we made the kitchen spacious enough for the entire family to enjoy cooking. As we began living here, since the house is situated in a large estate of ready-built houses, there are many other children of the same generation, and we find it convenient to use commercial facilities and public transportation.
I like how Principal Home designs spaces with a view of the sky, and I cherish the times when I can relax while gazing at the sky from our inner balcony.
For Mr. S, who is engaged in building, it was fascinating to witness the construction work because he could see how things he knew in theory could be translated into actual progress.

The importance of balancing ideals with reality

As my wife prefers a single-family house, we elected to build a custom-built home that would allow us to pursue our ideals.
The representative, who was nimble and explained things clearly, also gave us sound advice concerning the land.
We set some companies’ proposals side by side to attain our ideal space within budget. We then decided to entrust the project to Principal Home because it offered excellent cost performance and let us build a relationship of trust.
With the plot being situated in a secluded area, we were a little worried that the house might be dark. However, the living room is brighter and more open than we could have imagined thanks to the vaulted ceiling and large windows.
During the building work, we had some trouble regarding the land; however, Principal Home promptly took care of it for us. While living here, we found that all the parts that were proposed were easy to use and allowed us to live comfortably. Since building a house is a huge purchase, it is important to strike a balance between one’s ideals and reality. I thoroughly recommend consulting Principal Home because it offers good cost performance and can be trusted.

Clearly conveying how we want to livea strong sense of lifestyle

The company representative carefully listened to our wishes and proposed various options. Thanks to his concise descriptions of advantages and disadvantages, we were convinced of how our house would be with peace of mind.
We insisted on having the living room on the second floor. On clear days, we can see Mt. Fuji from our dining room window, and the sloping ceiling creates a sense of openness.
Moreover, the design that also takes flow lines into account makes the housekeeping remarkably efficient.
The most impressive part of house building was the floor plan creation process. Initially, we didn’t have a specific image in mind, but after we shared some rough ideas with our representative, the company’s designer created some impressive floor plans that embodied our ideals.
It was extremely important to gather information and clearly convey our sense of lifestyle. By properly communicating our ideal lifestyle and working closely with the company representative, we were able to realize a highly satisfactory home.

A comfortable custom-built home with an emphasis on ventilation and flow

We were particular about three things. First, we wanted a design that offered large windows for better ventilation and an awareness of flow lines. Second, for the living room, we wanted a raised floor for entertaining guests and providing a play area for children. And third, we wanted to have ample storage space in different areas, such as a restroom, loft storage, and a family cloakroom.

While living here, we use air conditioners less frequently and feel that the house is well-ventilated.
What impressed me was the careful workmanship of the carpenters during the building.

I think it was important to emphasize ventilation and flow lines and to insist on meeting our wishes from the initial plan.
Although we were initially looking for a ready-built house, I think we were right to choose a custom-built home.

An ideal homemade possible through repeated meetings

We decided to consider a custom-built home after being attracted by the designs of Principal Home’s properties for sale. The fact that we could find land and build a custom-built home within budget was crucial, and the attentive support of the company representative was also important.
Our representative was friendly and polite, while the designers were able to propose specific images. We proceeded with the house-building process while forming relationships of trust with each staff member.

We insisted on having high ceilings and natural solid wood floors. By raising the ceilings in the living room and children's room, we achieved a sense of openness and brightness.

When we first learned that the shape of the plot and its relationship with neighboring properties restricted the roof shape, we initially wanted a white square house, but in the course of holding numerous meetings, we arrived at a design with a black triangular roof.
We found it important to pursue our own ideal home through other property reviews and repeated discussions on our home’s design.
