No matter how much the world is developed, man is still and will always be a traditional living being. The penchant towards the past is evident in each and every field. Thus the architectural field is no exception from the same. Man always tries to incorporate something from his past as well. When it gets introduced into the architectural field it brings a unique collaboration of the past and the present leading to the birth of some very exclusive and rare designs.

Thus building of a new custom home seems to be more of a paradox where the builder has ample freedom of choice and at the same time is tied and have no choice even.
