The Handbook of Home Design: An Architect’s Blueprint for Shaping your Home

Product Information

However, I do prefer renovations, stripping things back to the bare bones, getting to the very essence of a property and making something even more fantastic. A highly skilled architect, Laura is now booked to appear at a number of industry-specific events to share her passions for architecture. In general, remodelling the downstairs area is a lot more cost-effective, and even something as simple as sorting out storage on the ground floor can free up space upstairs. Funnily enough, one of the first things I would sort is the staircase, which is always one of the main problems. If you were potentially thinking of adding another bathroom to a home, which areas of the property would you consider first?

Architect Laura Jane Clark, from the BBC and Netflix series 'Your Home Made Perfect' has spent over 15 years designing, remodelling, and building homes. Often, when we’re putting a roomset together, the bath forms the centrepiece as it is such a gorgeous product.Rooms which incorporate things like grab rails, shower seats, walk in baths and showers can look incredibly stylish. As we get older, we’re all going to need assistance at some point, and, with such an advance in brassware finishes, accessible bathrooms can be made to look so much more stylish.
