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.

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.
