💡 What are the advantages of Architectural Designed Home Renovation?
The average length of homeownership in Australia continues to rise. Today a homeowner typically stays in place for a little over a decade before looking for a new home. Many of these homeowners have likely discovered the value of an architecturally designed home renovation.
Renovating your home allows you to makeover the areas you dislike and incorporate more of the features that you want in a home. You can get more out of your living space with renovations instead of moving. Keep reading to learn more about the importance of architectural design for home renovations.
🤔 What Is an Architectural Designed Home Renovation?
An architecturally designed home renovation features a carefully crafted plan. The design plan incorporates your ideas and ensures that the project combines function and aesthetics.
A basic home renovation involves creating a list of what you want to change. Instead of simply adding new flooring or making a few minor updates, you can plan a renovation that makes better use of the space and produces a more aesthetically pleasing look.
📐 Architectural Design Helps Solve Problems
Need more natural light? Want more space in your kitchen? These are examples of problems that we can help solve through architectural-designed home renovations.
Architectural design starts before the building process. A designer listens to your needs and what you hope to achieve by updating your home.
We then take into consideration the architecture of your home. We determine if the project requires any structural changes. Solving problems during the design process increases the likelihood that the renovations will meet or exceed your expectations.
🏘️🤝 Custom Builds Combine Function and Aesthetics
Architecturally designed renovation plans help combine function and aesthetics. You can make your home more beautiful and get more out of it.
The designers and builders take the time to consider the home’s architecture to make the space more efficient and functional. However, the designers also incorporate elements to ensure an attractive look for the space.
💲 Save Time and Money with Your Renovation Plans
Our design plans help ensure a better renovation process. Hiring a licenced builder to renovate your home without a thorough design plan often leads to unsatisfactory results. You may overlook design options or fail to account for specific elements of your home that can impact the project.
We use our expertise to draft plans that minimise the risk of design errors and the need to backtrack. This planning saves you time and money, as you are less likely to encounter delays or setbacks during the design or construction process.
⭐ Top Reasons to Update Your Home Instead of Moving
Renovating your home offers many advantages, but you may still be on the fence about updating your home. Here are a few of the top reasons to update your home instead of moving:
- Renovating can cost less compared to moving
- You can boost your home’s current value
- Your updates may improve the neighbourhood
- Renovating may lower your utilities
- Get more enjoyment out of your home
Depending on the amount of work, renovating will likely cost less than moving. Moving to a new home involves multiple steps and various added costs. You need to pay an agent and cover various fees. You may even need to pay a moving company to transport your possessions to your new place.
Renovating allows you to stay in place. You may also boost your home’s value, which can help if you decide to sell later. Adding to your home may also improve the neighbourhood. Other homeowners in the area may follow suit to keep up appearances.
Some home renovations may also lower the cost of your utilities. You benefit from the latest materials and energy-efficient design features. Upgrading your windows, adding insulation, and completing other updates may lower your cooling bills during the hottest parts of the year.
Renovating helps you get more enjoyment out of your home. You can fall in love with your current house all over again by updating the features you dislike the most.
🏘️ Renovation vs. Knockdown Rebuild
In some cases, renovating may not be enough to incorporate the design features you want in your home. Drastic updates may call for a completely new build, which is where a knockdown rebuild comes in.
Knocking down and rebuilding your home offers an alternative when renovations are not sufficient. With this option, you can avoid the hassle of relocating to a new area and still enjoy the home of your dreams.
At Risen Developments, we have extensive experience with renovations and complete knockdowns. We can assess your home and ideas to help you determine which option makes the most sense for you.
🏗️ How to Prepare for a Major Home Renovation
Updating your home can involve a lot of work, even when working with experienced builders. Start by identifying your needs. Decide which features you want most out of your updates.
For example, you may want to create a more open floor plan, add a bedroom, finish a basement, or change the house’s layout. You need to be clear about what you want so that the designers and builders can include your ideas in the design.
You should also consider the scope of the project. A major rebuild may require you to relocate temporarily, as the renovation work may make your home unliveable for a short period. Thinking about these details can save you from making arrangements at the last minute.
Whether you choose to renovate or rebuild, select the right team for the job. At Risen Developments, we have a long track record of completing renovations and custom builds for homeowners throughout Gold Coast and the surrounding area.
