Means living in a contemporary space with volume, space and everything made "custom"! This is the summary of an architect’s touch in the renovation of an apartment or house.
Appealing to this "pro" is often frightening because of his prices and his contemporary vision. This means to misunderstand his job and forget that after he’s done his work, your transformed house will have an increased value.
For a specific project
From studios to apartments going through suburban houses, homes are transformed after the intervention of an architect. However, it is difficult to use his services for a specific intervention such as redo of a bathroom or kitchen. What he searches is to be able to express himself throughout the home in order to give it coherence and unity.
Contrary to the popular belief, large areas (family apartments, lofts) are not the only places to lend to the drawings of architects. They may do wonders with small spaces too. They design hidden cupboards, "invisible" doors and spaces with variable geometry.
Added value
With his technical, architectural and aesthetic background, this "pro" is able to imagine a radically new look for your home. He brings on the table original and innovative solutions. For example, he can optimise and reorganise a space by redistributing furniture parts. The arrangements proposed by the architect stick to current lifestyles. Kitchens "come closer" to the dining rooms and lounges, rooms have their own bathrooms, closets are integrated in a wall, etc..
Plan by plan, the residential architect imagines a home without fear of redistributing the rooms, move them, break down the walls and create new ones, etc. Some go from "dressing" a room and give it an identity to create tailor-made furniture.
The 'radical' and very contemporary architects go as far as removing the chimneys, floors and moldings in bourgeois apartments. We find ourselves in "zen" places with no embellishments. Others, more nuanced, combine the charm of the old with a modern style.
"Tailored" solutions
The transformation of the space is always done with the agreement of future occupants. Plans change with every meetings between them and the architect. Before working on a project, this professionals asks his customers to put together a list of what they want in their home (office, large library, children's room or friends, wine cellar, room for piano, etc.) and to explain their lifestyle (home-office, home for receptions, etc.)..
Another "plus" of the architect: his power of proposal and the use of original materials able to provide an atmosphere to the room. In most cases, there is no question of buying the fittings or tiles in the DIY store on the corner. Every detail of the equipment (heaters, sinks, etc.) is taken care of.
The price of his services
Still, calling the expert for a home renovation is not the first instinct of everyone. Do-It-yourself work or hire a renovation company is more in tune. It must be said that architects have a reputation for being expensive.
When he accomplishes a "global mission", first he deals with the research phase, meaning the development plans. Then, for several months he supervises the completion of construction to delivery.
An advantage for resale
A property to sell, "refurbished by an architect", often flies in the clifieds. This characterization conveys a quality of modern life and contemporary style. With its rare and unique layout, this property is difficult to find elsewhere and adds to its value.
