Developer models are meant to meet the needs of the majority. Suburban development emphasizes the typical family, so the needs of other life stages, such as young professionals or empty nesters, are left out. Architectural design, through specific customization, is capable of providing for the needs and desires of these groups, but issues such as a long development period and a lack of marketability limit the application of the architectural model. Since there is no visible element until well into the design process, the architectural model lacks a tangible object that can attract the consumer and generate the emotional connection that provides value beyond our most basic needs. By utilizing lifestyle market data, it is possible to develop a model that combines the benefits of speculative construction with a greater degree of customization for a particular consumer category. Elements that relate to specific needs of the consumer increases the perceived value to that consumer, and a shorter customization phase prior to occupancy maximizes the fulfillment of specific needs while reducing the development time. The result is a new architectural model that can supplement the current models and encourage a greater percentage of the residential market to utilize architectural design methods. 2005 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1129233879 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1129233879 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
