Love Your Location, But Don’t Love Your Home?

You may love your street, your neighbourhood, your garden and everything your location offers, but your home no longer works for the way you want to live.

Perhaps the kitchen and living spaces are dark or disconnected. You may need another bedroom, a better home office, more storage or a stronger connection to the garden.

Or perhaps you simply know that your home could be so much better, but you’re unsure where to begin.

Before deciding to move, it may be worth understanding the potential of the home you already have.

Minett Studio offers a complimentary initial architectural consultation to explore what may be possible.

Unlock the Potential of Your Home

As architects, we often see possibilities in existing homes that aren’t immediately obvious. Sometimes a substantial renovation or extension is the right solution.

In other homes, relatively targeted changes to planning, orientation and circulation can make an enormous difference.

During an initial consultation we can discuss your existing home, what isn’t currently working and what you would like to achieve. We can explore potential opportunities for renovation, extension or reconfiguration, as well as whether a new home may ultimately provide a better solution.

Our aim is to help you understand the potential of your property before you commit to a particular direction.

What Can We Discuss?

Your complimentary consultation is an opportunity to talk through your property and ideas with an experienced residential architect.

Depending on your project, we can discuss:

• Potential renovation and extension opportunities
• Improving natural light and orientation
• Reconfiguring existing floor plans
• Additional bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces
• Kitchens and interior design
• Connections to gardens, swimming pools and outdoor entertaining areas
• Whether to renovate, extend or rebuild
• Relevant town planning considerations
• The likely scale of construction budget required
• The architectural design and planning process

You don’t need to have everything worked out before contacting us. Understanding the problem is often the beginning of finding the right architectural solution.

Architecture, Interiors & Landscape

Minett Studio provides architecture, interior design and landscape design as an integrated service.

This allows us to look beyond the existing building and consider the property as a whole. Architecture can improve the way the home functions, interiors can transform the experience of everyday spaces, and landscape design can create stronger relationships between the house, garden, pool and outdoor living areas. By considering these elements together, we can develop a cohesive vision for what your property could become.

Considering Buying a Home to Renovate?

The same architectural thinking can also be valuable before you purchase a property.

Finding a home that ticks every box can be difficult. Sometimes an otherwise excellent property has the right location, orientation and garden but the house itself doesn’t quite meet your needs.

Minett Studio can provide early architectural advice to help you look beyond the existing floor plan and understand whether renovation, extension or redevelopment may unlock the potential of a property.

We can discuss likely opportunities and constraints and provide initial guidance around the scale of work and construction budget that may be required.

Start With a Conversation

You don’t need to know exactly what your renovation should look like before speaking with an architect.

If you love your location but don’t love your home, we’d be delighted to explore what might be possible.
