The Handbook of Home Design: An Architect’s Blueprint for Shaping your Home

Product Information

As one of the architect presenters on BBC's Your Home Made Perfect, Laura started her television career when she was featured on the first ever episode of Channel 4's George Clarke's Amazing Spaces with her Crystal Palace underground-toilet conversion and then regularly featured on the series, as well as on Shed of the Year and Ugly House to Lovely House. Rooms which incorporate things like grab rails, shower seats, walk in baths and showers can look incredibly stylish. In a few years we’d like to renovate our kitchen, and I came away with so many ideas of ways we can optimize our space. In your time, you must have worked on countless properties, but do you prefer renovating an older property, bringing it back to its former glory, or a new build, which offers you, essentially, a blank canvas?

We’ve created several different accessible bathroom in various styles, from industrial to more traditional, and the idea is to move away from clinical and cold to stylish and welcoming. Rather than have it under the stairs, which is the usual place people put it, I would highly recommend placing it somewhere that is potentially accessible from the outside, and maybe even attached to some kind of utility space. So, fitting some kind of stylish built-in bathroom storage is absolutely key, because then you can maximise the space you have. This book allows us to see just how an architect’s vision and ideas can totally transform interior spaces.

Throughout your home design journey, whether large or small, Laura takes you each step of the way from understanding your home, reading a plan and writing a brief, right through to sketching your own design and having the confidence to get what you want on the building site.

Biography: Laura Jane Clark is an architect and designer specialising in innovative home design, renovation and new-build houses.

Sometimes the novels chosen are new, often they are from the backlist and occasionally re-issued from way back. Well, I would always go to Victoria Plum, first off, because I know it’s easy to find matching ceramics.

I love how she walks you through the process and guiding principles she considers when designing a home plan, and it was fun to see some great interior photos from her projects (several from the show which is fun). Windows users should also consider upgrading to Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge, or switching to Firefox or Chrome. In 2018, Clark joined the BBC to be one of two architects in the television series Your Home Made Perfect with Angela Scanlon, [10] which ran for four seasons with Clark being the only original architect to be kept on the show. We had a fantastic evening with Laura who did an excellent job presenting our awards and then networking with the crowd. A wee bit of extra space can certainly help, but there are other ways to free up existing space that isn’t being used very well.
