Some of the main events of this year’s LOVE ARCHITECTURE Festival are listed below:
10th October, 2pm – Meet the Architect
A rare opportunity for people across Leicestershire and Rutland to meet our RIBA architects with a free one-to-one half-hour design consultation. Bring any home or design query; whether you are looking for advice to create more space in your home, or are looking for ways to bring in more natural light, our architects will do their best to help you. You do not need to be planning a “Grand Designs” style house to come along and talk to a professional, but we would recommend bringing plans (if you have them) and photographs of your existing space.
