There are so many homes within the south London area and specifically the Merton area that have been renovated and remodelled to become more contemporary.
Many of the homes within this area were built half a century ago, and they have a very distinctive look and style for the area. Many of the homes looked alike, and they were also all built with the same materials. Back in the 1950ās and 1960ās after World War II and most council flats and towers were built, the architects and builders managed to get jobs creating homes within the Wimbledon area after so many of the homes were destroyed or damaged.
Since the homes were already large to begin with, the space and the land that was available provided the perfect place to build larger homes and what can be considered by many to be smaller versions of mansions.
I work as part of a loft conversion company based in the London borough of Merton, Merton Loft Conversion. We are based in Wimbledon as aĀ Wimbledon loft conversionĀ company, and we have been performing these conversions for so many years now.
Since many of the homes have begun to look contemporary and almost match mansions you would see within L.A. or The Hamptons, we have had to adjust most of the loft conversions we complete.
We must make sure the loft itself matches the design of these homes once the loft conversions are finished, and this could be a very difficult thing if some of the homes are more unique.
We must now match all materials and colours with those already applied to the building. While this is not much of an issue with the colours, the difficulty mostly comes from the materials that are necessary.
If the materials required are from Central America, Asia, Australia or anywhere else, we must order it to match.
For whatever reason, many homes have begun using granite as an exterior decoration for their homes. On top of the granite, matte paint has become a trendy design within homes in London.
Due to the wealth of some home owners within the area of Wimbledon specifically, you would not be shocked to see marble outside some of these homes, and inside.
Others like to use wood that are specific to nations, and these materials usually require special ordering that can take weeks or sometimes even months to arrive.
When considering that ordering a surplus of materials is always necessary in these projects, the overall budget and raw materials costs of these projects begin to rise faster than you could imagine.
These are smaller things in the grand scheme, but the larger worry comes from the large costs of these materials, and especially the delivery of these materials.
These are small issues when you have finally completed the construction of the project however. Once the project is completed and the home owner is satisfied with your project, the real enjoyment comes from the finished project.
When the home owner is happy with the quality and result of your work, then there are so many rewarding benefits for you and your company.
Modern home designs in London
In this sub headline of this post i wanted to talk somewhat about some of the modern home designs that have come up in the last few years.
There are some exceedingly interesting and innovative ideas that many architects and home designers have come up with in the last 50+ years.
With the invention of newer building styles and techniques, there have been large leaps in the design concepts that have been created to date.
With every new home that has been created in the last few years, there has been many creative design ideas indoors rather than just outdoors.
Since the home isnāt only judged by the way it looks on the outside, the interior is just as important.
This is compounded once you realise that although people first judge the home based from the exterior, it is the interior that really makes the home feel like a home.
One of the increasingly elaborate designs of many homes within todays world are the swimming pools that have been created recently.
As the technology of swimming pools and Jacuzziās in the last few years have jumped leaps and bounds within the last 20 years, and there are so many different creative designs and options that have been invented.
Pools can come in all different shapes, sizes and nowadays even different colours and lights. Due to the advancement of technology in general, there are so many different things that you could do.
There are so many different combinations of shapes, sizes, colours of the lights and even pool, different tiles that you could put into both the pool and the path that surrounds the pool and so much more different decorations and designs.
There is something that I do find a bit interesting that others may find less enjoyable, which is the massive automatic or remote-control blinds that can cover a window.
Iām not entirely sure why I find them so interesting to look at, but I believe it is because a lot of science fiction films from both the past and the present show these blinds in the rich, bad guys home.
For some reason, every architect in every film Hollywood has made seems to have the same design and creation ideas. Very strange! Iām starting to believe that no matter what year it is or even what universe the film is set in, the same architect works on all homes that have ever been built!
These days however, there are so many different things you can do with your home you never used to be able to do. Some homes even have motion sensor lights that will turn on or off if you have entered or left your home.
I find that to be an amazing thing because 10 years ago lights that you could clap to turn off used to be considered an amazing feat in technology.
The fact we have motion sensors for so many things from lighting within the home to even gas and electricity turning on (apart from the electricity thatās necessary for the motion sensor of course!).
The modern home is so much different when compared to homes from even 10 years ago.
