Tap into the expertise of professional renovation architects in London

September 9, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

You really need the experts on your side when you’re looking to turn your London property into a truly fantastic home. The interior space is of major concern because your interiors have such an effect on your comfort at home, as well as on the practicalities of each individual room. This is where professional architects are so important to your project.

London is obviously very closely linked to great architecture – but it is not just about the exteriors and fascias. Fantastic architecture is very important on the inside of your property for both aesthetic and practical purposes. Working with experienced professional architects can help you to get the best out of your renovation.

When considering house renovation London is actually a hotbed of activity. Renovations are often taking place around the city because people want modern interiors to go with their modern sensibilities – even if they love living in period properties.

Architects can be found operating in specialist firms that will also undertake all the design and build aspects of your project so that everything goes according to plan. Working with a professional architect can be really rewarding because it often means you can make much more of your interiors.

Reduce complications with a design and build company

July 21, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

For a renovation project to work you need a really good project manager in charge. This is because you need to have all of your scheduling perfectly in order so that everything runs to the right timescale. You always want the project to remain on budget and you want everyone to be aware of one another’s work.

It is the project manager’s job to make sure there are no breakdowns in communication. However, this is really difficult if you are using tradesmen, architects, designers and builders from a range of different sources. This sort of arrangement is incredibly tricky because there’s so much to keep on top of.

Instead, you can take advantage of the service that some reputable design and build firms in London offer. They have architects, designers, builders and project managers all working for them so that communication is very simple and everyone is fully informed on where each project is up to and where it is going.

This is really advantageous and it helps to take a huge amount of stress out of the whole process of getting your luxury house into the right sort of shape.

Juxtaposing old and modern the new architectural trend

July 20, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

There’s a really significant trend at the moment in the world of architecture. It is evident in a lot of public buildings that have been renovated or refurbished, such as you find in a lot of capital cities around the world, including London. The key trend is to have a juxtaposition of the old with the new – older buildings kit out with really impressive modern interiors.

This trend works in an aesthetic sense, but it also works because it means older buildings are still capable of delivering what modern people expect from a convenient and attractive structure. What’s more, you can actually get involved in this sort of trend in your own home.

If you own one of the London’s stunning older properties, but you feel like opening up the interiors to put a more contemporary spin on your living space, then you can contact a building company in order to carry out a truly stunning transformation.

For house renovation, West London is a great place to be because architects and designers are used to working with older properties and effecting changes in keeping with really discerning luxury modern aesthetics.

Healthier living in renovated period property

July 8, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

A healthy living environment is crucial at home. It is often the case that in a West London period property, you begin to notice that the general atmosphere of the interiors does not feel right and certainly does not live up to its full potential. If your house is particularly old and it has not enjoyed a proper renovation in quite a long time then you must look into the design possibilities provided by a renovation by residential architects.

A lot of home owners embark upon renovation projects of their period properties because they want to enjoy a much healthier environment around the house. Modern interiors are guaranteed to provide this, especially if your house is a period property that has not received enough attention over time. Modern interiors are much cleaner and much easier to maintain which makes it easier to retain that healthy environment in the future. Moreover, all the older materials will be stripped out in the process making the very air you breathe cleaner and healthier. Renovations of period properties will also address energy saving issues to make it easier to keep your home warm, and extensive projects will brighten the place up to give a healthier mood as well.

Professional designers developer your ideas from their embryonic form

July 1, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Great design is where all successful renovations begin. The design stage obviously starts with the mere germ of an idea and that usually comes from whoever owns the property. If you feel in some dissatisfied with your home or you just feel it could be better somehow then this feeling will grow and grow until it develops into a very rudimentary plan for how you could improve the space you have at your disposal.

From this embryonic notion, the designers and architects you bring into the picture will start developing a much clearer idea of what direction you can go in. Architects in London have a great deal of experience in developing ideas into workable projects so that homeowners can enjoy superb renovations that really lift the aesthetic and functional attributes of their homes.

Thorough consultations between you and your chosen team of designers will conjure up plenty of creative ideas that satisfy your own personal requirements. These will be translated into professional drawings and passed on to you for approval. Once you settle on a design you love, it is time to go ahead with the building work.

Selecting a design and build company to cover all angles

June 26, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

It is important that you select a contractor very carefully when you are looking to modernise your London property. London properties can be extremely striking, but they take on an even more impressive appearance once they have been renovated professionally to bring them into the modern age.

Your best choice when you are hoping to facilitate some changes to the interiors of your property is get in contact with a team of professionals that will see to all of the important steps towards achieving your renovation. This way you can benefit from having a single point of contact.

When you get the job done by a single design and build company that is prepared to address architectural and design matters, building work and interior design work as part of the same package, you will benefit from the smoother communication this approach involves. Otherwise you might be left chasing a number of different tradesmen offering different services.

The most tangible differences you’ll see from making this choice with regard to your design and build company will come in the shape of reduced disruption to you personally, more efficiency with regard to timescales and improved relations with your project manager.

Using your team of builders and creatives to maximum effect

June 22, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

It is hard to know exactly what it takes to complete a design and build project that is geared towards turning your London property into a more modern home. It is only natural that you, the homeowner, should have an idea about the things you want to get out of the project, but that does not mean that you will have all the answers when it comes to finding the best route to your desired result.

This is what great project managers are for. Experienced project managers will listen to your plans and they will already be visualising a way of getting the project off the ground. Project managers also know how to communicate your ideas so that the people in charge of each stage of the renovation – the architects, the builders, the interior designers and so on – all have a clear idea of the result they are working towards.

This creative team will come together to produce a thorough set of plans complete with detailed drawings showing exactly how the project will come together and how it will look in the end. You need to use the experience and innovation of your creative team to make the most of your ideas.

Avoid contracting separate companies for the different stages of your renovation

June 19, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Design and build companies in London are your first port of call when you need some work doing to the interior of your property – perhaps to modernise its design, bring it into the twenty-first century or address issues related to the energy-efficiency of your home.

It always makes sense to contact a design and build company that can facilitate all of the relevant stages of work that needs to be done. The stages you are likely to need to look at will include architectural work, building work and interior design. You will also need a project manager to oversee the whole project.

Whilst it is possible to try and secure separate firms to carry out each stage for you, this is risky because it raises the chances of your project running into problems related to miscommunication, poor scheduling and so on. In real terms, this means your project may take longer, cost more and may not turn out the way you hoped that it would.

Instead, you should look for property renovation experts in London who offer all of these different disciplines within the same outfit. That way you can be certain your project will run smoothly and the result will be stunning.

The potential of London houses to accommodate commercial ventures

June 18, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Turning a house into a commercial building is obviously quite a tall order. You need to satisfy all of the important requirements of the commercial space you are looking to benefit from. Some of the houses in London are incredibly versatile when it comes to turning them into workplaces, but you need to have the expertise of skilful designers on your side.

Designers in London are certainly capable of converting London homes into suitable London offices, shops, practices and salons. However, many of them are capable of doing much more than this. They can turn your London property into a really stunning architectural example of how the modern meets the historical.

Preserving the heritage and the architectural integrity of London houses is high on the list of priorities of London architects, even when those houses are being renovated in order to accommodate commercial enterprises. Since lots of commercial ventures demand modern interiors, designers and builders in London must rise to the occasion in order to meet both demands.

When it comes to architects London is home to some outstanding creative teams. It is these teams you want in charge of your project so that your property becomes a practical and visually impressive workplace.

Renovating your new home’s interiors before relocating to the capital

June 18, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

If you are relocating to London then it is likely you have already looked at some of the wonderful properties in the city. London is famous for architecture and this is something that is not confined to public buildings, churches and palaces. The city is also famous for the architecture of its houses.

In a short while, you could be living in one of these houses, soaking up the atmosphere of the capital, enjoying the vibrant city life and marvelling at the architecture or your home and the streets around you. However, many of London’s architectural marvels are relatively old and need some attention.

It is possible to buy a home in London that represents great value because it needs some renovation work done on the inside. Addressing aging interiors is something you can approach as an exciting project – modernising the inside of your new home before you move in so that it is as impressive within as it is without.

London boasts a number of very high quality renovation experts who will tackle your project with the skill, expertise and professionalism required to design a truly stunning interior space, worthy of the property you have invested in.
