Small extensions can be a great way to create more space, more light, and more wow, whilst adding value to your home. Find out how to get yours right the first time. Small extensions can make your home work for you in the little ways that matter every day. Remodelling or extending is a great alternative if you lack the space or budget to add a large extension, move home or to self-build.
Why move when you can improve?
You can liken home extension design by an architect to getting a bespoke tailored outfit as opposed to buying a shop bought piece. An architect really fits the building to your personal circumstances and your needs, and they will spot the opportunities to deliver a building for you that will delight you, day in day out.
Wouldn’t it be great to have your home designed around your needs and lifestyle, making every day feel like a holiday, so that you feel so relaxed and so comfortable in your home that you don’t really need to travel elsewhere?
When you buy a new home, whether it’s from a new development or second-hand, you’re compromising from the outset. There are things that you can tweak of course, but when you’re spending such a large amount of money on moving you need to think, ‘Could I achieve the space we need and add value to our property by using an architect to redesign our home to work for us?’
How does an architect add value?
An architect can deliver a tailored service that you just won’t get from an off-the-shelf house or second-hand home. Typically, the build standard is better when you extend, you get a lot more value for money, your home will be better insulated, and you can expect enhanced detailing.
Your project doesn’t have to be the next multi-million-pound Grand Designs showstopper. No matter how big or small a project is, the most important thing is that you achieve a home that works for your family now and into the future. By using the experience and skills of an architect you can ensure that good design doesn’t have to cost you the earth. A modest, but well-designed addition can be transformative, changing the aspect of a room, bringing in valuable extra daylight, linking existing spaces, or improving circulation and flow.
Determine what you really want
There are a multitude of answers to why you should consider a small extension, but they usually fit in with one of a few categories:
- This is your forever home and you’re extending to maximise the space for your long-term enjoyment.
- You want to add value to you home.
- You need to create much needed extra space in the short term until you can afford to move.
- There’s just that bit of your home that niggles you every time you see it or use it.
