Architectural Residential Features​

Find inspiration through our property features, showcasing real homes and home improvement projects, filmed & featured by HomeInspire, in partnership with homeowners, architects, and interior designers. Each feature and video tour takes you inside the story of a property transformation, exploring design ideas, materials, and practical insights behind some of the UK’s most inspiring renovation work and home projects.

  • Our architectural residential case studies go beyond showcasing beautiful finished homes. They explore the thinking behind each project, from the initial design brief and planning challenges to material choices, construction techniques, and the details that make every home unique. By documenting the full journey, we provide valuable insight into the design process and the collaboration between homeowners, architects, designers, and contractors.

    Whether you're planning your own renovation, searching for ideas, or simply passionate about residential architecture, our architectural residential case studies offer inspiration grounded in real projects. From contemporary extensions and whole-house refurbishments to self-builds and sensitive period restorations, each feature highlights practical solutions alongside exceptional design, helping you better understand what is possible for your own home.

    Through high-quality photography, cinematic video tours, and in-depth project stories, we aim to celebrate the creativity, craftsmanship, and expertise behind every transformation. Our growing collection of architectural residential case studies is designed to inspire homeowners, support design professionals, and showcase outstanding residential architecture from across the UK.

Riverbank: Inside Alan's Rebuilt Riverside Cottage in Hunworth, North Norfolk

When Alan found a crumbling cottage on the River Glaven in North Norfolk, he put an offer in the same day. What followed was a 5-year rebuild in which only the front wall was left standing — 24 steel piles down to the chalk bed, an 18-month bat survey delay, and a traditional Norfolk front hiding a back wall of frameless glass and Corten steel that nobody can see from the street.
