Juxtaposing old and new is part of a major architectural trend

July 20, 2015 By tylermandic 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 capital’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, 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 modern aesthetics.

Modern living influenced by minimalist design

July 1, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Modern interior design is incredibly attractive and a lot of people are updating their homes in order to create a more contemporary environment. The great thing about a lot of modern interior design is that it is influenced quite strongly by minimalism.

Minimalistic design involves removing all unnecessarily embellishments so that you are left with a much cleaner and less fussy interior atmosphere. Whilst minimalism probably takes this to the extreme, a lot of interior designers take the central theme and influence of the movement on board when renovating older homes in order to make them feel brighter and more contemporary.

There’s just something very sophisticated in the clean lines and neutral tones found in many modern interior renovations that help to brighten the atmosphere and make it feel spacious and comfortable.

If you like the idea of a home whose interiors are influenced by minimalist design then it might be time to get the professionals involved. Professional architects and interior designers are capable of transforming even the most dated interiors into really stylish and contemporary spaces ideal for modern living.

Sourcing builders and designers under a common project management firm

July 1, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Finding builders to help turn your modernisation plans into a reality is all about knowing where to look and who to trust. London is chock full of skilled tradesmen who are capable of transforming your property, but it is all about how the project is managed that really makes it a success.

Project management is necessarily about communication. This is made much easier if the project manager for your modernisation project is actually part of a company that can also handle the design and architecture and the actual building work that needs to be done.

The obvious benefit here is that communication is much easier within the boundaries of a single company offering a range of services instead of trying to bring a host of different tradesmen together for a single project working for diverse firms and organisations.

Concerning property renovation, London is definitely one of the leading cities in the UK. There are experts in building renovation available for consultation whose expertise lies in a number of different fields, including design, architecture, building and interior design – all very important disciplines when it comes to effective and attractive refurbishments.

Avoid contracting separate companies for the different stages of your renovation

June 19, 2015 By tylermandic 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.

Discussing the procedures involved in a property renovation project (Part 2)

June 10, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Once you have decided on a suitable team of professionals to help realise the vision outline din your rudimentary plans for a renovation, it is time to invite them to discuss what they can do for you. The very first stage will involve the design team.

The design team will listen to your demands and preferences and will go about turning your rudimentary designs into a workable plan. At this stage, they will also consult with builders and architects in order to ensure all your preferences are possible given the structure of your home and suitable alternatives will be offered in case any problems arise.

Now it is time for the architects and builders to do their bit. Since each team is in constant contact with the others and the whole project is presided over by a dedicated project manager, the building process can be completed as quickly and as smoothly as possible to minimise disruption in your home.

Finally, once the building work has been finished, your interior designers can take over. They will work very closely alongside you in order to get the right finish so that you are happy with the final appearance of your renovation.

Discussing the procedures involved in a property renovation project (Part 1)

June 9, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

If a comprehensive renovation of your London home is something you have drafted into your home improvement plans for the near future, then it is important you gain a little bit of insight into the procedures involves in such a project. If you are using one of London’s reputable design and build companies then this process is likely to be a good deal easier.

First of all, it is up to you to start thinking about what you really want from your renovation. It may simply be a case of modernising your interiors so that they are more suited to modern lifestyle and contemporary interior design. However, you may also want to take into account other considerations like eco-friendly solutions and so on.

Once you’ve drawn up some rudimentary plans of your own it is time to involve the professionals. For property renovation, London is really well-served by teams of builders, designers and architects, but the best option is to go for a company that draws all of these individual disciplines into the same body as a means of promoting better communication and ultimately delivering a better service.

The next article continues looking at the procedures involved in property renovation.

5 advantages of working with a residential architect

June 8, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Planning to embark on a renovation or refurbishment project in West London? You may think you’re a dab hand at drawing and can take accurate measurements, you may even be tempted to take the design of your home on yourself, or hire a contractor to prepare the drawings without considering the expertise of a professional architect. After all, you know what’s best for your home, right?

Understandably, you want to know the completed works will be exactly as you had imagined them to be; completed within your timescales, and that your renovation project hasn’t cost any more than it should have. All of this is possible, but you may just have underestimated how complex projects can be, and it a lot easier to achieve and more likely that you will achieve it with a professional residential architect on your side.

Successful renovation rests upon strong working relationships

June 7, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

The essence of a great renovation project lies in the interaction between each important discipline involved in rendering the changes. When there is a strong and productive relationship between all the working elements of the project, the chances of success are much greater and the probability of everything coming to fruition on time and on budget is much more favourable.

Consider the relevant disciplines that must converge successfully for a timely and fruitful renovation. You must have designers and architects on hand to commit your plans to concrete blueprints for the job. You must also have a dedicated team of builders who can work with these plans in order to arrange a schedule and to effect all construction work. Finally, you need interior designers capable of applying the finishing touches to give the renovation its crowning glory.

Of course, one element left undiscussed is that of project management. Effective project management is where the interaction between each discipline really hinges. This is why project management firms are in such demand, especially in London where property renovation is so widespread and crucial. In order to achieve the best results, look for a design and build company that resists the schism of fractured relationships between different disciplines with renovation.

Obtaining the interiors you have always wanted

June 6, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Updating your home is a really exciting thing to do. When you are in the financial position to renovate your interiors completely, you can look forward to getting the home you’ve always wanted but haven’t yet been able to achieve.

The excitement of a project of this kind comes from having control over the final product. This is where working alongside a trustworthy and reliable design and build service comes in so handy. You need experienced professionals with a good deal of expertise in architecture, interior design and construction who can help to put down your vision into concrete plans before facilitating the work itself.

Fortunately, there are property renovation companies in London with the collective expertise to put all of this into practice. When you work alongside a company of this kind, you can be confident that all of your preferences and suggestions will be listened to and added to by skilled professionals with varied backgrounds so that your plans can be realised as closely as possible.

The final result is a home that you can be proud of and which satisfies all of your demands in terms of appearance and functionality.

Realising your creative vision through interior renovation

June 4, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

The interior design of your home is obviously of great importance. They are crucial to your comfort and they also say a lot about who you are. Moreover, your guests and visitors are likely to put a certain amount of stock into the way your home is decorated. This is why renovating a property that you feel isn’t quite up to standard makes sense.

If you are happy with the interior design of your house then you are likely to feel more at home there. Contacting a build and design company in the capital isn’t always easy, but there are those that exist whose aim is to bring all the elements of a project together.

If you can find a company that conflates all the different disciplines that participate in a renovation project then you stand a better chance of enjoying faster results with fewer problems. You’ll also benefit from better communication with a dedicated project manager who can see your vision through to completion.

In the end, you’ll be left with a really impressive blank canvas which will allow you to work your own magic by applying the finishing touches in terms of furniture and decorative pieces.
