It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our Flitch Cottage project to the talented teams from LB Waltham Forest and Design South East. Their fact-finding mission is integral in shaping the DSE response to the early draft of Waltham Forest’s Retrofit and Residential Extensions SPD.
During the tour, I made sure to highlight some crucial insights that guide projects like ours:
First, truly understanding the core issues and how the project can address them is essential. Identifying the problems is the key to creating effective solutions.
Not every project has the luxury of a full scope. Evaluating what can be accomplished now and planning for what comes next is important, ensuring a forward-thinking approach.
Striking the right balance is critical. It’s all about integrating both exterior and interior designs seamlessly.
In the end, it’s about getting that perfect balance where everything feels just right—a harmonious outcome that works on every level.
