Can I fix my home for (next) Christmas?

The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and gathering with loved ones. Mostly. For many homeowners also brings a unique set of frustrations in living and entertaining spaces. At Architect GP, we understand the challenges you face and offer expert and accessible advice. There are real solutions to be found that a builder, draftsperson or friend-who-just-renovated aren’t trained to see. (But we need all these people, so hang onto them!)

Unwrapping the Frustrations

Picture this: You're surrounded by twinkling lights, the smells from the kitchen, and the laughter of friends and family. Yet, amidst the festive cheer, your home feels stretched, storage becomes a puzzle, and creating the perfect ambiance seems like an elusive dream.

Don't let poorly arranged spaces and furniture dampen the holiday spirit. Architect GP tackles spatial challenges head-on, creating layouts that work for your lifestyle, and always improve the sustainability and efficiency of your home. We do it with analysis and experience. Design is not a “gift”. Nor is it “woo woo” that doesn’t matter. As a doctor trains to advise on your health, we architects don’t just make this stuff up. We can really support you to get to the core of the issues and pinpoint the solutions to the things that have been frustrating you.

Overcrowded Spaces

Limited space can quickly turn celebrations into congested affairs. But it doesn’t make sense to design a whole house for one busy day of the festive calendar! So Architect GP looks to create adaptable spaces – can a table extend from inside out to a new deck? Does the kitchen bench have a role to play on special occasions? Does a wall need to go to make room for the extendable table? In one project a garage was given the trimmings to become an occasional party venue. Well-designed areas can give you the elbow room for hosting gatherings without feeling overwhelmed.

Storage Challenges

The holidays bring with them a slew of decorations, gifts, and seasonal items. Storing these items becomes a logistical challenge. Architect GP takes a holistic look at storage woes with creative solutions that blend into your home's aesthetics. And it does not have to cost the earth.

Ambiance Challenges

Creating a warm and inviting atmosphere is a part of holiday cheer. It also ties your home more strongly to the natural climate, light and ventilation in your part of Australia. Architect GPs are in your area and understand how to get it right. Humidity, temperature and rainfall vary greatly around the country, so one “outdoor style” does NOT fit all!

By using real data, local knowledge and experience our Architect GPs can get it right for you, with the added benefits of a more sustainable home.

Inefficient Kitchen Layout

Cooking for holiday gatherings should be a pleasure, not a stress. If you’ve been battling against your kitchen and dining spaces, don’t let it go another year without figuring out your options and taking some next steps. Architect GP addresses inefficient kitchen layouts, providing practical designs that make holiday cooking that much more enjoyable.

Outdoor Space Limitations

Expand your festive celebrations outdoors with well-designed outdoor spaces. Architect GP maximizes your outdoor potential, creating areas that are both beautiful and functional. Because we work in your area, we are also familiar with the local council, building regulations and have links to builders and trades in your area.

Weather-Related Issues

Unpredictable weather shouldn't hinder your outdoor festivities. Architect GP's designs will consider covered or indoor-outdoor spaces that suit your needs, allowing you to enjoy the holiday spirit regardless of the weather.
