SHA Architecture & Design, a RIBA Chartered Practice in High Barnet, emphasizes high-quality solutions for home extensions that enhance functionality, style, and comfort.
Five essential considerations for a well-planned extension are:
- Maximizing Natural Light
Incorporate large windows, skylights, or glass doors to enhance light exposure. South-facing designs, open layouts, reflective surfaces, and light finishes can disperse natural light and create bright, energy-efficient spaces.
- Flow and Functionality
Ensure the extension complements the existing layout, creating seamless and practical transitions between old and new. Consider daily use, zoning, and adaptability for long-term evolvement and usability. - Look and Feel
The aesthetic should harmonize with the home’s character, whether modern, traditional, or eco-friendly. Carefully choose materials, colours, and finishes to achieve coherence or contrast. - High-Quality Drawings
Detailed architectural plans, including 3D renderings, are vital for visualizing designs, refining concepts, and facilitating discussions with contractors and local authorities. - Planning Considerations
Understand planning permissions and local regulations. Explore Permitted Development Rights or navigate restrictions for conservation areas and listed properties with thoughtful designs.
A well-executed design can transform living spaces, elevating your living experience and adds value to your home for years to come. An extension or home alteration is an exciting opportunity to rethink how you live in your home, bringing moments of delight for years to come.
SHA offers expertise from concept to completion, ensuring a successful, lasting transformation.
