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

Product Information

Laura also builds and designs her own furniture and interiors, doing so in association with Universal Cloud Cover, and has worked as an Architectural Assistant for Guy Greenfield Architects. 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. A highly skilled architect, Laura is now booked to appear at a number of industry-specific events to share her passions for architecture. Without getting ridiculous with the design, I always want to push things just that little bit further.

You still have to work within site constraints, with things like the aspect and where the sun will be, to take into consideration. 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.And I know there are people who don’t have a bath, but I can’t even get my head around not having a bath at home. We had a fantastic evening with Laura who did an excellent job presenting our awards and then networking with the crowd. Packed with architectural solutions and designs, this book will guide you on how to best optimise the spaces in your home without spending a fortune. I’m afraid I can’t give too much away before it launches, but it’s been fabulous working on a diverse range of projects, rather than just your standard extensions or remodelling.

Sometimes the novels chosen are new, often they are from the backlist and occasionally re-issued from way back. Almost a decade ago, Laura created Lamp Architects to specialise in residential conversions, building extensions and new builds. Rooms which incorporate things like grab rails, shower seats, walk in baths and showers can look incredibly stylish.THE HANDBOOK OF HOME DESIGN distils Laura’s wealth of experience and enthusiasm giving you an accessible yet detailed guide to design, empowering you with the tools and knowledge to shape your home how you want. With over 15 years experience as a prominent architect, renovating and revamping properties on a budget, we caught up with Laura Jane Clark for some advice and inspiration on bathrooms. Cutting her teeth as a labourer on construction sites when she was an architect student, Laura’s passion and understanding for building and making shines through in her work. It will be out soon, but it’s been a huge hurdle getting everything sorted and looking beautiful and wonderful. In general, home design over the past century has included a straight staircase with a turn at the top.

The 12th edition of the Chudley and Greeno's Building Construction Handbook remains THE authoritative reference for all construction students and professionals, with new material on modern methods of construction, greater emphasis on sustainability and a new look interior. Laura has dedicated her career to home design, working on over 400 projects large and small in the UK, Europe and worldwide. Since then, she has featured as a guest judge on the Channel 4 series “Shed of the Year”, showcased her flair for transforming unloved houses on Ugly House to Lovely House, and is now starring in the fourth series of the BBC series Your Home Made Perfect. 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? 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.

Copestick said: “I’ve long been an admirer of Laura Jane’s super-smart architectural solutions that are often seen on TV.
