Are you thinking of buying, selling or extending your home but worry about making changes in the current housing market? living:room is a new service for homeowners and home buyers that reveals the potential to add space and value to your home.

Whether buying, selling or extending, we can help you assess your options and make informed decisions about your home. Not sure you want to extend but can’t get the space you have to work for you? Our design consultations and property potential reports can help you unlock the potential you already have and see your home in a new light.

We use our extensive design experience and knowledge of the Irish planning system to help you make the most of your home, solve space planning problems or identify how much extra space you could add with or without planning permission – potential that could help you:

  • Decide if the property you’re buying is the right home for you;
  • Widen the appeal of your home to prospective buyers, when selling; or
  • Maximise your home’s potential by extending to meet your individual needs.

Why living:room?

This is a ‘first steps’ service helping you assess your options before committing to change – the first of its kind in Ireland, and has been developed by Angela Carr, graduate of the prestigious Mackintosh School of Architecture and qualified Architect with over 15 years experience, in response to the downward turn in the housing market and homeowners’ concerns at this time:

‘For many years now I have been carrying out assessments of land and property for commercial and private clients, to identify the potential to achieve planning permission and add value.

A home is the biggest investment most of us will make in our lives. As much as we all want to find that ideal property, the true dream home is one where the heart and head carry equal measure.

It’s common sense to approach buying, selling or extending our homes with the same level of preparation as a professional – to identify the potential and assess risk – particularly as the housing market has changed so dramatically over the past 12 months and continues to change.’

Here at living:room, we are passionate about good housing design and have a proven track record in achieving planning permission using the Irish planning system and adding value by design.
