Recently I was at a party where a friend of a friend was talking to me about the new home they were building. She explained to me that she would have loved to use my services, but that she couldn’t because her house was only small; not the size of home that an architect would design.
This got me thinking, that perhaps there are many people out there with the same misconception. So I thought I should set the record straight.
Yes architects work on very large projects, from large family homes to commercial developments, but that’s not to say that an average sized family home, or even a smaller home, can’t benefit from the services of an architect. (more…)
So it’s time for a change. You want to improve the overall liveability of your home, but you’re torn between whether to renovate or demolish your existing home and build a new one.
Having a roof over your head means more than getting shelter from the elements. Roofs also provide both thermal and sound insulation and, to a certain extent, protection from fire.
The challenges confronting owner builders
Have you ever noticed how particular spaces within a home tend to attract people? How people seem to be immediately drawn to certain areas, as if some mysterious magnetic force was pulling people into this space? 
Without a doubt the main hub of any home is the kitchen. Somewhat surprisingly this is even the case in homes where the occupants tend to eat out, rarely cooking meals themselves.
