Design Surgeries

Thinking of renovating your home? Sign up to a one-to-one architect consultation at our upcoming design surgery day and get expert advice

About this event

Smeg is hosting our next Don’t Move, Improve Design Surgery on the 9th July.

Tickets are available for 40 minute consultations between 10:00 – 15:15.

Have you been wanting to extend your home but don’t know where to start? Just moved in and thinking of what to do with your new space? This design surgery is a great opportunity for you to bring ideas, plans, drawings or images and talk these through with an architectural practice that has been selected as part of this year’s Don’t Move, Improve! Longlist.

You can be at any stage of your project, from a simple idea or outline to having started a project and wanting a second opinion. You will be assigned an architect who will talk you through your idea or project, their advice ranges from practical to strategic.

In order to secure your place, we are asking for a £5 donation which will go to our charity partner Article 25, a humanitarian architecture charity using design to improve health, livelihoods and resilience to disasters.
