Residential Design

Thoughtful design shaped around how the home needs to work.

AISK supports homeowners across London, Hertfordshire and surrounding counties with extensions, loft conversions, internal reconfiguration, garden rooms and energy conscious refurbishment.

Residential Design

Design for the home, not only the drawing set.

A residential project is rarely only about creating more space. The proposal also needs to respond to the existing property, planning constraints, construction, structure, building performance and the way the household wants to use the finished home.

AISK combines design development with engineering and retrofit experience so practical questions are considered early rather than left for the contractor to resolve later.

Specialist input

Residential projects may require structural engineering, party wall advice, drainage, fire, M&E or other specialist input. AISK defines which responsibilities sit within our appointment and, where required, coordinates appropriately competent specialist input.

Building performance

Where relevant, AISK can apply wider retrofit and Building Physics experience to insulation, moisture, ventilation, thermal junctions and the relationship between new and existing construction.
