Enhancing SPACE & FLOW
The ideal is to have a home that works for all its inhabitants, with space, light, storage and all the desired amenities in the right quantity and places and every need catered for. If a property has some but not all of the required virtues or if family life changes and no longer fits the home, it is not necessarily time to move on – the house can adapt. Reimagining space is an architect’s speciality and, working with the homeowner, they can find ways to overcome practical and aesthetic difficulties and create or recreate a liveable space.
Alterations to any building must comply with all appropriate regulations. This means that, depending on the property, its location and the extent of the work, seeking approval for building regulations, planning permission or Listed Building Consent may be required. Some requirements have been relaxed recently and Permitted Development Rights allow for certain projects to go ahead without planning permission, however, it is essential to check with the local planning authority. Architects will usually apply for the appropriate permissions, and for more about making changes to listed buildings, visit
