Take this scenario:
You get all ready and you want to go to your friends or an acquaintance house. You are all excited and pumped to have a good time and make start making bits and scenarios in your head. Eventually you arrive and find that the friend lives in a modern eco-friendly, climate responsive house like the one below. Suddenly, the whole vibe changes and you are not that excited anymore. Infact even worse you start getting bad vibes into your head. You might feel was this trip worth it anymore.
In all honesty, new things always require adjustment. Infact in a funny way; if one feels discomfort, it is probably because it is right, and the body needs time to adjust. So, if you feel uneasy at first; relax and allow time to adjust. You might actually like it more than you expected.
Now, coming to the issue of building your own house; considerations to what makes one comfortable is of the utmost importance. While the taste and choices will be different from person to person; the thing that is common is that all humans have flesh, brain and emotions. The common characteristics are something that we can define rules or systems for. For e.g.: A human after physical exhaustion requires rest. Similarly, the brain and even the body after an exhausting day at work requires rejuvenation and revitalization to get back to another day at work. I know this sounds like a luxury but is in fact the basic human right in this evolving world. Infact achieving this for a residence will be less expensive than mechanical means if planned properly and in the long run.
So, A general rule of the hand is don't be afraid to seek consultation from an Architect and like doctors who know what's best for your body, Architects are trained to know what's best for the residence and how to design as per the resident.
