Architect in the House - 2005

Every year during Architecture Week, the Royal Institute of British Architects in association with the charity Shelter, promote this scheme to encourage clients to have a one hour consultation in their home or office in exchange for a minimum donation of £25 to Shelter. This year 827 architects attended 5610 consultations and raised some £140,000 for Shelter.

The RIBA co-ordinates the public's response and refers you to a participating Practice, usually within five miles of your home or office. All RIBA members participating in the scheme are usually RIBA Registered Practices. We are such a Practice and have participated for several years. Each year we undertake an increasing number of visits.

In 2002 we visited 21 homes from Alnmouth to Sunderland. In 2003 we travelled as far as Northallerton, Guisborough and Redcar, visited 83 homes and contributed £2,300 to the sum of over £100,000 raised that year. In response to the 2004 call for participants we visited 93 homes and raised £2,975.

Architecture Week 2005 took place between 17 and 27 June 2005 and we are again participating in the scheme; we have now visited 105 properties throughout the North East and North Yorkshire and raised some £3,990. This Practice will continue to run the scheme throughout the rest of the year so it is not too late to be involved if you so wish, just give us a call. We are always happy to meet prospective Clients for a preliminary meeting without obligation. Please contact us to discuss your project and to help us to increase the funds raised for Shelter. For visits booked after the end of Architecture Week we ask applicants to make a minimum donation of £40.
