What are the foundations of our residential architect practice? As Leeds architects specialising in creating the best home for you, there are seven types of development we work on most often. 🏠 Single storey house extensions. Often built as a kitchen extension, these can still vary greatly depending on the property. 🏠 New build properties. Tremendously exciting - and challenging. We can help you navigate this adventure. 🏠 Internal remodelling and refurbishment. This is how we make your space work more efficiently for you. 🏠 Two-storey extensions. A way to grow - often from three to four bedrooms - without leaving the location you love. 🏠 Barn conversions. The big one - both in terms of wow factor, hard graft and planning processes. 🏠 Loft conversions or garage conversions. Increasingly popular ways to transform what can be ‘dead’ space. We’ve shared some of our top tips to consider before starting each project in our latest blog, which you can read below. And we’ll be creating more in-depth guides to each kind of development over the coming months, so keep your eyes peeled! https://lnkd.in/eMy4hSZK #architecture #residentialarchitect #leeds #yorkshire #wakefield 

This project involved the conservation and conversion of the original 18th-century fort and associated buildings, refurbishment of the existing hotel and the design of a new hotel block. The project also included the design and construction of the new Palisades restaurant, pool and bar facilities, and a 200-seat conference center completed by ADS. The storefront window and door installations are ongoing, and preparations are being made for the render rock external wall finishes. .

It's a balancing act 1! When converting existing #office buildings into #residential it tends to feel like everything is against you; existing window placement, column and beam arrangements, #structure, awkward planning requirements, limited drainage, #utilities, etc. We're proud of the success we achieved on this project where 5 spacious apartments share a clean design logic, surpassing the technical housing and #Londondesign standards for kitchen/dining/living area, storage etc, and where most units are double aspect! On entry to each unit you're met with a view out, a key comfort and sale metric, and a contrast to many converted apartments out there! #Islington #angel #retrofit #project #commercial to #residential #conversion #retrofit #sustainable #architecture #inthisroomarchitecture #londonrefurbishment #permitted #development #priorapproval #renovations #londonconversion #londonrefurbishments #officebuilding #artdeco #londonbuild #construction #londondeveloper #propertydevelopment #england #uk #London

Another week is done, which means... end-of-the-week updates. Our Manhattan Picks On Point home is all about bringing the outside elements indoors, starting with... can you guess? Yes, the brickwork! Giving us all the East Coast vibes, how did we do? #construction #builders #homes #designers #builders #architecture #brandnewhomes #homeExteriors

Introducing the latest addition to our residential development typologies: The Horizon House! This typology consists of two distinct units: a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom unit and a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom unit. Each unit boasts its own covered patio and braai area, with a slanted chimney design that provides ventilation for both built-in braais and acts as a privacy-enhancing boundary wall between the units. Designed for modern living, both units offer an open-plan kitchen, dining room, and living area on the ground floor, connected by a sleek suspended staircase leading to the bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedrooms, complete with full ensuite bathrooms, open onto a north-facing balcony. Each unit also enjoys access to a private garden with the option for a pool and entertainment area. The 3-bedroom unit includes a double garage, while the 2-bedroom unit has a single garage and covered parking. . . . #residentialdevelopment #property #construction #propertydevelopment #development #propertydeveloper #architecture #residential #residentialunits #residentialdesign #home #homedesign #residentialdesign #constructionindustry #residentialestate #modernaesthetics #contemporary #propertyinvestor #contemporarydesign #architecturaldesign #architect #contemporaryliving #contemporarylifestyle #kunzraubenheimerarchitects

Inspired by the charm of the original beach shack, Rockpool Apartments incorporates crisp white weatherboards and timber-look blades, bringing the coastal aesthetic to multi-residential development. Horizontal bands of cladding at balcony height are coupled with carefully placed inset windows and screens to establish a visually engaging rhythm that unifies diverse floorplates into a cohesive design. Situated on the outskirts of Terrigal’s primary business area, the building complements other mixed-use developments along Pine Tree Lane. Strategic use of screens, balconies, and architectural forms diminishes the perceived mass of the development. Improving accessibility and integration, retail tenancies and ground-floor units boast direct street access. The basement carpark is conveniently reached by a dedicated driveway. In response to the evolving skyline of Terrigal’s business hub, Rockpool stands as a 5-level structure, navigating its position between 2-storey private residences to the south and more substantial developments towards the business district. The units capitalise on natural light and ventilation, promoting sustainability by reducing the reliance on heating and cooling systems. This thoughtful approach reflects a commitment to the environment and to the wellbeing of residents. Rockpool Apartments was recently chosen as a case study by the NSW Government Architect as an example of well-designed mid-rise housing.
