I have been developing new houses now for 5-6 years now and have always used an architecture firm for my designs. But due to the limitations of the projects (not a very large design budget for beauty) I tend to build what I would consider pretty simple designs. I have built a good number of houses over the last few years each with their own design and I have learned something new on every project when it comes to the design stage.
I try and push for larger window spaces, and design each room with purpose but I still feel like I am lacking a bit more knowledge on how to refine some of my designs a bit more. I want to learn more about design theory in order to not give bad direction (that is almost always corrected by my architect). And try and learn some new perspectives as I look my existing projects in order to learn how to improve future ones.
I am not looking to get an architecture license, or replace my architecture team, I would just like to expand my knowledge and learn more about the field so I can know what to ask for when designing a new house. I have a pretty good understand about building with different construction methods/materials and a lot of the building science involved in MEP design. So I am not looking to learn about building code but more Architectural design theory related to practical home design and not the super high end home designs.
I did a few searches through the subreddit and could not find any specific resource that was exactly what I am looking for (my specific request might not exist lol) but I thought I would see what is out there before checking out a handful of books from the library or checking out on Amazon.
