Custom Home Criteria Matrix + Adjacency Worksheet | Digital Download

A custom home should never start with random room ideas — it should start with a clear plan.

The Custom Home Criteria Matrix + Adjacency Worksheet is a digital planning tool created for interior designers, architects, builders, developers, design students, and homeowners who want to organize the function, flow, and spatial needs of a custom home before the design process begins.

This worksheet helps you think through each space intentionally: room names, square footage needs, adjacency relationships, plumbing requirements, acoustical privacy, storage needs, and lifestyle priorities. It is designed to support early-stage space planning, architectural programming, client discovery, and new construction design conversations.

Use this worksheet before drafting floor plans, meeting with a builder, preparing for a design consultation, or organizing a client’s custom home wish list.

What’s Included:
— Custom Home Criteria Matrix Worksheet
— Adjacency Planning Sheet
— Space Planning Notes
— Printable Digital PDF Format
— Designed for residential interiors, custom homes, renovations, and new construction planning

Perfect For:
Interior designers, architects, decorators, builders, developers, design students, homeowners, real estate investors, and anyone planning a custom home or large-scale residential project.

How to Use It:
Start by listing every room or space in the home. Then document the desired square footage, important features, functional requirements, and which rooms need to be near or separated from each other. This helps create a stronger foundation before moving into floor plans, renderings, finishes, or construction decisions.
