Create a beautiful social hub for your home

August 17, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Your living room is arguably the most important part of your West London property. You spend a great deal of time in your living room as along side your kitchen, they are the social hub for the entire household, your family and guests. The living room is most used when people are watching television, as well as for entertaining family and friends. Generally, your living room creates the back drop for the most sociable and visible part of your home in London so it’s sensible to make the best use of the interior space you have available.

Most property owners want to make their living room stylish, spacious and as sociable and comfortable as possible. To achieve your desired look, using an interior designer could make a lot of sense. Family members can find privacy in other parts of the house, like the bedroom and home offices or snug, so it is sensible to keep the living room as open and warm as possible.

Creating a more sociable and spacious living room can sometimes prompt a complete house renovation. Most home improvements go some way to making your living room feel a bit more welcoming. However, when you need more space or a different layout for your home to work and flow naturally from one zone to another, it is sometimes necessary to address the layout and structure of your living room. If you don’t do something about it, you may sit watching design programmes on television thinking how nice other homes are whilst not realising the opportunity to create a beautiful home for entertaining and enjoy living in your property a lot more.

Team ethic of inclusive design and build companies benefit projects

August 7, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

If you have ever conducted a fairly large project in order to have your house renovated in the past then you will know how important it is to have a really good project manager to keep everything together. When you have a reliable and informed project manager calling the shots, you feel much more confident about the entire job.

A project manager’s life is made significantly easier when all the different workers he is dealing with are part of the same group. Organising tradesmen specialising in different disciplines working for a range of different companies can be a very difficult task and communication breakdowns are common in this situation.

However, if all the tradesmen are part of the same company, then communication is likely to be much more efficient. Everyone reports to the same project manager and everyone has ready access to the same brief. The project manager only needs to make sure that the chain of communication is complete by bringing you up to date on everything and passing your messages on effectively.

If you have struggled in the past because of fractured project management, choose a design and build company in London that brings it all under one roof for your next big job.

Advantages of working with residential architects

July 8, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

As the economic uncertainty rumbles on in the Eurozone, you may be considering moving some investment capital into a renovation project for your home in West London. If you want a high quality finish and look, then it’s best to work with local expert residential architects who project manage your renovation. Here are just four reasons why you should always work with a local project manager and residential architect:  

1. Experience In Styles

Whether it’s interior design, renovation and building work or project management, West London residential architects have a wealth of experience and are essential to any smooth running renovation project. You should harness their design skills, regardless of whether you are trying to create a modern kitchen, a vintage lounge, a retro living space or something entirely unique. Experience teaches all of us to handle specific situations in a certain way.

So if you are met with any issues during the construction or planning phases, quality residential architects offer solutions that allow your renovation to progress as intended and on schedule. Their expertise on how to combine styles will also be invaluable, as you don’t want to end up with a new layout or reconfigured space that doesn’t look like it belongs to your period property.

2. Professional Finish

If you’re not very experienced in carrying out renovations in West London iconic neighbourhoods such as Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington or Holland Park, carrying out any work yourself usually leads to inferior results. Appointing a professional architect means you end up with a professional finish, and gives you an come back option if there are any issues to address – which could add enormous value long after your project has finished as well as reducing stress. Once the building work is complete, the quality of finish is the most enduring element of any renovation project and is what makes the difference between a home you are happy with and a home that you’re truly proud of.

3. Contacts

It might be quite a challenge to arrange and coordinate all the different experts involved in a renovation project – your architect, interior designer, your local builder and specific trades such as carpenters, plasterers, plumbers and AV specialists to schedule works on your home and make sure dates work in sequence with each another. Residential architects project manage renovations all the time, schedule design stages and should project manage all elements related to the design of your new property. You won’t have to worry about any of this as a result. Design + build companies (such as TylerMandic) all have the plumber, builder, property planner, interior designer etc. under one roof. This saves you valuable time, money and stress over the course of the project and in the long run. You are also a lot more likely to complete your renovation on schedule without any major setbacks. Combining project management with design experience ensures you have the best professionals to work on every element of your property renovation.

4. Achievable Time Frame

If you’ve long been craving for your home renovation to be completed, you won’t want to waste any more time once the work finally gets under way. Professional residential architects give you achievable time scales, estimates of how long the renovation work should take and which elements need to be completed and when to coincide with all the trades on site. Usually, all this is achieved in a much shorter time frame than what you would be able to achieve alone. With larger projects, this precise knowledge of time creates substantial savings and can improve rental yields. You’ll also be able to plan when your renovation will be ready to enjoy – and for you to entertain friends and family. This certainty makes the process of moving in much more straight forward, often a lot more cost effective and certainly more enjoyable.

residential architects develop your renovation vision

January 25, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Designing a renovation project for your home is really exciting. It represents a chance for you to exercise your creative muscle. When you have identified rooms and spaces that you think would benefit from remodelling or extensive redecorating, you can start to give your imagination the reins.

Visualising the finished product allows you to start piecing together the granular aspects of the renovation you are hoping to achieve. You will need the help of residential architects at some point as they will help to commit your ideas to paper. They will also add to your creative vision and give you advice on how you can use the space to your advantage.

The best situation is if your residential architects are able to project manage the whole renovation and are able to have builders under the same umbrella organisation because then your building work will come from the same source as your design work. The result will be a more cohesive approach that will meet your deadlines and deliver your vision with precision.

To top it off having interior designs, plumbers, carpenters and property planners all under the same umbrella, you stand a great chance of getting the refurbishment you really want with far less hassle and far more quickly.
