7 Things to Decide Before You Start Your Hangar Home Floorplan
A great hangar home floorplan shouldn't begin with a list of rooms. It should begin with understanding the airplane, property, lifestyle, views, outdoor living, entertaining needs, and the future you're designing for. Before you start moving walls around on paper, here are seven decisions that can help shape a hangar home around the way you actually live and fly.
Interior Designer vs. Architect: Who Do You Need for a Hangar Home?
If you're planning a hangar home, should you call an architect or an interior designer first? The answer isn't necessarily one or the other.

Here's how the roles work together and when to bring each professional into your hangar home project.
Your Hangar Home Design Actually Starts Outside
