Good design without deep pockets:
Creating cost-effective architecture from backyard extensions to share houses and affordable homes
Engaging an architect is sometimes seen as something that only money can buy. But there are many ways to cost-effectively build or renovate your home without resorting to off-the-shelf or DIY solutions that are never quite right.
In this Open House Talks session, our panel of architects will be talking about the backyard extensions, sloping sites, narrow lots, prefabricated homes, SOHO’s (Small Office Home Office), ‘ugly ducklings’, multi-gen homes, share houses, micro dwellings, and affordable homes they have designed for people without deep pockets.
Where should homeowners who care about getting it right best invest their money to create a long-lasting, fit-for-purpose home? And how can architects bring design ingenuity, innovation and insight to projects without breaking the bank?

Amy Degenhart, Director, Degenhartshedd Architects and Urban Design
