Realise potential when house hunting in London

May 10, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

When considering buying a home in West London, you may think the interiors could benefit from renovation to create a luxury home. This is especially true for period property, which tends to look incredible from the outside, but needs substantial renovation work on the inside. It makes sense to seek advice from a well-established property renovation experts in West London, used to dealing with period property renovation, mansion block apartment refurbishment and managing building projects in the London boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.

Consulting a team of renovation experts helps you realise the true potential of your prospective home. If you then decide to go ahead with the purchase, you will know exactly how much the renovation or refurbishment of your property will cost, and how long the building works will take. This will be useful when negotiating the price of your property.

It doesn’t matter how ambitious your project is, once you find an expert residential architect and interior designer you can start creating a luxury home. Usually, the only limit is your imagination and budget. West London is remarkably well-served by talented interior designers, largely because of the high proportion of older properties and the need to match period property with tasteful period furniture.

It’s sensible to keep the idea of a full-scale refurbishment in your mind when you are shopping around for a new house. Nowadays, building materials and technology have moved on so much that you can often realise a lot of potential, create a luxury home and get the very best out of a property. Most times, by using a talented and local residential architect you can realise a lot of potential that hasn’t been spotted by those looking at properties that don’t know how to renovate or have the ambition or willingness to take on a renovation project.

Increased space in West London Property

May 9, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Living in West London is fantastic but your money does not go as far as it would in other parts of the country. This is particularly the case in the property market. West London property costs more than property around the rest of the country because there is such demand to be in this amazing, trendy area.

If you have invested in a house in West London you will probably already be aware that you could enjoy more space elsewhere. However, no-one can argue with your choice of location. Furthermore, you are able to embrace fantastic new design changes, brought forward by residential architects which will give you more space than you ever thought possible in your existing West London property.

Successful renovations are being conducted all the time by professional residential architects in West London. They have the project managing skills to bring all parts of a renovation together, which will result in your property seemingly expanding on the inside creating more space, with no hassle. Residential architects create more space by opening up the interiors of properties without extending it, meaning the current size or restrictions on your property do not play a role. Opening rooms out and admitting more natural light helps to create genuine space at the same time as creating the illusion of more space, which is just as effective in terms of comfort at home.

Financial advantages of residential renovation

May 5, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

There are so many financial benefits to renovating your  West London home. Renovating is something people do not just do because they want their house to look  modern or attractive, although these do play a major role. West London property owners often have renovation work done as a means of making a lasting investment that will benefit them financially in the long run.

Obviously some of that financial benefit comes from making the house more attractive. This adds market value and allows your property to command a higher price if you decide to sell up in the future. Modernising has this effect in a quite a general manner and there are even more benefits if your renovation project includes extension work as this can further unlock the potential of the property.

Other financial benefits of investing in renovation work on your residential property include the opportunity to improve your insulation and the general quality of the shell of your home and its mechanical systems, which will save money in the long run and also help reduce your property’s carbon footprint.

If you can spend the money on improving your house in this way then you will save money on energy and resources thereafter. This is particularly important if you own a period property, which notoriously have low energy efficiency ratings due to the age, meaning its mechanical systems need as much modernisation as its appearance.

Renovating and selling property in West London

April 18, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Savvy landlords recognise that the West London property market stays in really good shape even when the housing market in the rest of the country appears to be on a slide. This is why they consider buying new property in West London with a view to then sell it on at a later date. If you are interested in this sort of process then you may want to think about buying something very modest and turning it into something fantastic.

This is a great way of making money on a London property. If you are buying to sell then you are in no hurry to get work done simply because you already have a place to live and you are not counting on the new property being completed ASAP. Instead, you can afford to take your time over things.

It is a very sensible move to get a team of residential architects in to do a bit of magic with the property. It may look modest at first, but with some professional treatment you could turn your residential property into a house that will attract a lot of attention on the market. This is when you can expect to make some serious money on the property market.

Residential architects ignite your renovation

February 26, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

You sometimes need a bit of help you get your vision for a renovation off the ground. Just because you have an idea of how you want your home to look after it has been renovated does not mean that you have the any real knowledge of h ow to get to that stage and how to commit your designs to paper in an effective drawing to work from.

This is where professional residential architects become extremely useful. Residential architects in West London can help to turn your vision into a set of proper drawings that will provide the basis for all the work you need to do on your house. You normally would then take these to the relevant professionals and have them begin renovating, each one working individually to their own schedule.

However, the ideal arrangement is if your residential architects project manage all of the professions involved, including the builders, designers, plumbers, property planners etc. If this is the case, you can guarantee that everyone involved in the renovation will communicate properly in order to make sure the job is done to your satisfaction as they will all be working in one unit. It will also circumnavigate any issues that come from a general distance between your architects and your builders moreover, any problems that do arise, as they eventually will within any renovation project, will be dealt with before you are even aware such a problem developed. This is again due to the project management of the residential architects meaning the communication between all professions is excellent.

Direct some of your savings into home renovation

February 24, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

It is nice to be in a position to have some renovation work done on your house in order to make your living arrangements a little bit nicer. This is something that a lot of people budget for when they buy a house, but it is also something that people only really think about when they have been living in a particular property for a number of years.

Renovation is a wonderful thing because it leads to positive changes at home. Spending your money on the place you live represents a good use of your savings because it contributes to your well-being and to the way you feel about your surroundings. Renovation can also be seen as an investment because renovated homes sell for more money.

If you ever get the feeling that you would be happier at home if one or two changes were put into effect then it makes sense to direct some of your savings that way. Renovations at home make a huge difference and they represent genuine value for money given the positives you get out of them, plus any money you spend will come back with interest if you do decide to sell the house on.

renovating your kitchen properly is worth the cash

February 23, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

A beautiful kitchen is something that lots of home owners are prepared to wait for. They know that a brilliant kitchen can make a huge difference to both the aesthetic appearance of the home and also to the practical comfort of the place as well. That means they are usually prepared to wait until they have enough available cash to renovate the kitchen properly.

Doing it properly means getting in there and completely gutting the room. It means replacing the entire kitchen with a new room that is more equipped to deal with the expectations you have of it, not just in terms of the right storage, the right appliances and the right practical solutions, but also in terms of how it looks.

Residential architects can get in there and totally transform your kitchen. They are able to address the structure of the room, the architecture, the layout and the final interior design and finishes so that you get a really comprehensive kitchen revamp instead of just a superficial effort to effect some much needed home improvements.

Renovated modern kitchens are more convenient

February 18, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

One of the best things about modern design is that it is incredibly convenient. It is a lot easier to find a great level of comfort at home if your interiors are kitted out not just to be attractive and easy on the eye, but also to suit the way you live and to make things easier for you at home.

Practical rooms like the kitchen are probably the parts of the home where it is most evident that a higher level of convenience makes for an easier life. If your kitchen space is old and tired then you might not want to spend that much time in there for aesthetic reasons, but if it is out-dated in terms of practical matters then it can frustrate you even more.

You can modify your kitchen space with a really thorough renovation. The more comprehensive the overhaul the better, because you’ll prepare your house for your modern lifestyle and you’ll completely transform your attitude to your kitchen.

You’ll finally be able to get as much from your modern kitchen as you expect, both in terms of the way it looks and in terms of how it improves the practicality of your home.

The architectural trend of a modern/period mix

February 16, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

One of the brilliant trends that you will find in some of the older public buildings in London is to juxtapose original and period features alongside more modern renovations. Modern renovations look stunning in period settings and this is a trend that is visible in many of the museums and galleries in London and around the world.

These renovations are often the work of esteemed architects, but the trend is also evident in less ambitious projects that take place on a domestic level. It is possible, for instance, to have your period home in London renovated so that it benefits from some stunning modern features as well as its beautiful period features.

If your period property is in need of some attention, then it is well worth looking at incorporating a more contemporary twist into any renovation work you were planning on having carried out. When it comes to architects, London is home to far more than the famous names associated with the renovations of galleries and museums. London, especially Chelsea, Kensington and Mayfair have plenty more talent with domestic agendas that you can make use of personally.

renovate your way to a contemporary bachelor pad

February 14, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

If you have recently moved to London and you feel like the property you’ve moved into could do with some attention in order for it to become the London bachelor pad that you always envisioned owning then you should start addressing the matter by looking into modern renovations.

Modern design is central to the whole bachelor pad aesthetic. It’s nice to be able to make use of and show off a whole range of mod cons in your apartment or house. Moreover, it’s nice to demonstrate how au fait you are with contemporary design by having your interiors completely revamped so you can design them from scratch.

Residential architects in London are experienced in producing drawings to turn older period properties into really wonderful modern spaces for people who are keen in drafting a bit of contemporary design into their lives even if they have chosen to live in a relatively old property in West London.

If your lifestyle is modern, both in terms of the way you like to go about things and in terms of your tastes in art and design, then modernising the interiors of your home is a must.
