1930's House facelift help please
Comments (29)Hey So the latest update is that we're still busy with the project but in the closing stages. We've done a lot of work inside more than originally planned we've gutted the house and replaced everything and changed the floor plan to modernise it and make more of an open plan space downstairs. We've done the rear extension which is now dedicated to kitchen with a central island running parallel with the doors . On the outside the house has had external insulation fitted and new render which makes it look new. I've attached some recent pics. Richard...See MoreIdeas for front of my house
Comments (14)What a beautiful house! And we agree with Timber Master that refreshing the windows would make a big impact. The luxury of replacing with timber windows is that you can opt for dual colour options, keeping the white interior if you so wish and choosing a sage or other colour alternative on the exterior, but always have the option to repaint if you change your mind down the line. Do make sure your joiner, whoever you use, truly understands timber as this will ensure you end up with a product with longevity in both quality and design, and windows/doors that are easy for you to maintain. We use a specially engineered timber called Accoya which has exceptional durability and stability, a long life guarantee and is virtually rot proof. In turn, that means that you only need to wash the wood down once a year, and repaint once every 10 years to keep it in good order for many years. It's worth googling as it is a revolutionary product that is low maintenance and environmentally friendly too!...See MoreAbout Mishkat Home

Comments (47)You can't have folding doors over a staircase!😆 I'm beginning to understand the problem here. You shouldn't be "totally stumped" on anything. That's the architects job! You just need to take your wishlist and suggestions to him/her. They will do a number of amendments until you are happy with the result. You can do some simple sketches but generally speaking you just need a bullet point list of things you don't like about the current design. Coming up with the solutions is the architects job. There's no point paying them if you're going to do the work for them. Everything else is in place and you've done the right thing by choosing them based on their previous work. It just seems like they might be a bit busy and aren't able to offer the amendments quicker. A professional firm will have already budgeted in the amendments so they don't lose anything by changing the design for you. I don't think they are trying to fob you off. The amendments will always be limited by budget, planning permission, health & safety and site conditions etc. If you really aren't happy with their service maybe consider taking what you have and speak another architect. The current firm have done all the hard work so the new firm won't have to do much to tweak the design....See More
