  1. Очень интересная статья о проектировании домов!
    Я давно интересуюсь эта тема, и приятно видеть, что есть компании, которые подходят к этому вопросу так ответственно.
    Меня заинтересовал индивидуальный подход
    Строй Планс к каждому проекту. Думаю, это ключевой фактор в проектировании идеального дома.

    Между прочим, на днях обратил внимание на их сайт Stroyplans, там есть много интересных примеров работ.
    Советую заглянуть всем, кто задумывается о строительстве индивидуального жилья.

    Спасибо за такой подробный обзор!
