Have you ever flicked through Casa Vogue or seen a renovation show and been inspired to whip your very own casa into shape – only to discover it’s not as easy or inexpensive as they suggest?
Well, renovator, meet “My Architect”. They basically offer homeowners a unique, pay-as-you-go system that lets you use the skills and services of an architect as much or as little as you want. It’s perfect for all kinds of renovation projects, like adding a home office, extending or adding a level, changing lifestyle needs and other build changes.
As My Architect Director, Robert Harwood, explains, “Our aim is to bring architectural services in a fresh, friendly and flexible way, along with great design, to more people. We developed a system that allows our customers to book in for an initial meeting of 3.5 hours for a fixed fee of $825 and receive clear concepts, initial sketches and advice on how to kick-start their project. From there, they can choose to use us as much or as little as they like, so there’s flexibility about our service that puts our customers in control of the process.”
We like to call it “Architecture for the real world” because as much as we want that stunning sunken lounge and courtyard decking with bi-fold doors, we also need to furnish the space afterwards. And it would be nice to afford more than IKEA.
