The Clients family of 5 found that they spent most of their time in the garden and wanted a room which could extend the house into the garden. The space combines the kitchen and indoor play room, which can be played in during the day by the children and become a space for entertainment in the evening and holidays for the parents.
The simple scheme relocates the staircase internally and liberates the ground floor of this 60's house. What was once a cramped front lounge is now a spacious room, which opens onto the dinning area at the back of the house. The new kitchen area makes use of an unused room cut-off from the rest of the house by a converted coal bunker, serving as a toilet with en-suite shower.

Report
Justin at AIF Architects took our various ideas and options for redeveloping our home, added some interesting ideas of his own, and came back with ballpark costs for each option. This will allow us finally to make an informed decision on the best way forward. We are so pleased we took the time to go through this process with Justin. We feel far more educated now about which approach to take and the various steps needed to achieve it.

Report
We employed Justin from AIF Architects to plan two extensions to our property, which would give us a larger kitchen, a utility area and a home office.
Justin interviewed my wife and I about how we would use the space and used good questions to draw out of us what our needs were and presented options to us.
He presented five designs in an impressive 3D walkthrough. At the presentation meeting, we finalised the design which gave us the maximum usable space possible.
Justin also took care of the planning process, ensuring that detailed answers were presented to the planners in reference to an objection
