After lots of renovation of our 1970s higgledy piggledy house (with strange extensions) we're finally coming to the conclusion that we should get an architect to look at our house as a whole and come up with suggestions on how to best use the space in it and how to maximise light plus some sort of extension (over garage or over existing back extension or replace untility room, loo, outdoors passage etc downstairs?). We're probably unhelpfully vague about what we want....we're looking for ideas....
A colleague had an architect that he was v. happy with but he thinks that as she is city centre based and we live far out of town that we'd be better off looking for someone in our own locality.
Basically, we're wondering how to enlist an architect. What should we be looking for? How do you rate one if not by personal recommendation?
Any advice on how to go about this would be gratefully received.
