Efficiency Redefined: Modern HMO Design for Maximum Space

Birmingham, West Midlands, UK

This end-of-terrace house underwent a comprehensive transformation from a single dwelling into a five-bedroom and three-bathroom HMO. By carefully adhering to local regulations and obtaining the necessary license, we successfully maximised the property's potential to optimise the client's investment. The challenge of fitting five bedrooms into a limited space was overcome through innovative design solutions, resulting in a modern and functional layout. The property now offers contemporary living quarters for multiple occupants while maintaining a clean and minimalist aesthetic.


Optimising Potential: Design for Enhanced Co-Living

"Efficiency Redefined" goes beyond simply maximising square footage, it is about unlocking the full potential of the HMO property by thoughtfully integrating the needs of modern tenants. Our design prioritises practical and fully furnished rooms, creating comfortable and functional individual spaces for the tenants. This approach fosters a simple and easy renting experience for both landlords and tenants. By focusing on intuitive layouts and quality furnishings, we aim to improve the daily experience and cultivate a positive and harmonious co-living environment within the property.

Balancing Investment VS Return

This project presented the challenge of maximising available space to its fullest potential. A key element was the loft conversion which further expanded the property's capacity. Throughout the design process, a crucial consideration was evaluating the investment of renovation costs against projected monthly rental income. This strategic approach ensured that every design decision not only enhanced the property's appeal but also delivered a strong return on investment for our client.

Navigating HMO Regulations and Ensuring Compliance
