Home Design Consultation - Case Study #1

I frequently save my clients thousands of pounds with the Home Design Foundation Package. This project is an example of how my analysis and assessment of clients needs and their homes ensure that I design solutions that suit both lifestyles and budget.

In this home my clients wanted a better connection  from the family room to the garden and kitchen. They enjoy entertaining and wanted to host their legendary barbecues in a sunnier patio with quicker kitchen access. The old conservatory was blocking the garden view and the lean-to store was blocking out evening sunshine from the patio.

Extension Option

My clients felt they would need an extension to achieve this. So I looked at how an extension might work to create more room, to link to the steeply sloping garden and between the kitchen and family room. They also wanted to move the laundry and freezer from the lean-to store room and into the house to make them easier to access.

I discovered that they had an unused space under the stairs ideal for storage and that their kitchen was brand new and that they were happy with it, apart from the poor link to the family room.

As an alternative I showed them how to create additional storage space within the kitchen, improve the connection with the family room and create a sunnier and easier to access space for entertaining in the garden. This option would simply mean some minor internal alterations, garden landscaping and demolition of the dilapidated conservatory and lean-to store. An option which would save them over £20k in construction costs.

I love improving lives and whenever possible saving you money at the same time. I could help you to do the same with the Big Picture Plan Package. Find out more here: https://www.i-architect.co.uk/bpp.html
