Continue reading for a selection of the prominent domestic architecture features you should consider this year from a trustworthy architecture company.


Minimalistic Features

Minimalism is nothing new, but this affinity for everything simplistic and practical becomes the perfect design trend when considering the hectic nature of modern working life. Features of minimalist architecture may include everything from basic shaped structures and uncomplicated room plans, to stripped-back additions. These ideas are applicable for when you’re on a budget, or simply looking for something different when sprucing up a domestic space.


Built-In Sustainability

Sustainability should be considered in everyday life, with built-in green features ideal for maintaining an eco-friendly routine and highlighting your commitment to saving the planet. Built-in sustainability features may include solar panels and miniature wind turbines in the design as well as energy-saving measures within. Features need not be drastic either, with some common building materials easily replaced by sustainable alternatives. Bamboo, recycled steel and reclaimed wood all become more prominent.


Combined Indoor/Outdoor Spaces

Especially prevalent for warmer months, combined indoor/outdoor spaces make the transition from interior relaxation to unwinding in the garden even more seamless. Though this balance can be achieved in many ways, glass roofs, open walkways, internal courtyards and blended flooring can give your living space a look of cohesion. Browse past projects for home architecture inspiration, and communicate with our team of professionals if you have special property requirements or needs.


Multifunctional Spaces

Multifunctional spaces have experienced a surge in popularity, as the demands of working from home and increased need for adaptable living areas have been highlighted. Architects can provide guidance and draft an ideal multifunctional living space plan. Benefit from versatile kitchen dining areas and adaptable office leisure space when you work with us.
