So you want to make improvements to your home – but you’re not sure about working with an Architect? We get it, we’ve listed the top reasons people put off using an Architect and why HOKO is different.

“I don’t know if I can afford what I want”
“I won’t be able to change my mind.”
“I’m not sure how the final design will look.”

These are all good reasons to put off working with an Architect – so what makes HOKO different?

We understand the reservations of homeowners when it comes to working with an Architect, that’s why the HOKO process is simple, cost-effective and enjoyable.

If you’re worried you’ll change your mind, our unlimited revisions give you peace of mind. 

Many people worry that working with an Architect will lead to an elaborate scheme that isn’t exactly as they imagined. The worry is that us Architects will get carried away and you’ll be left with a house you’re not 100% happy with. Or, we’ll have worked on two or three sets of drawings and you’re still not entirely happy with the results.

At HOKO, we put a lot of effort into the initial design stage to find out exactly what you want and need from your space. So we can give you the right scheme for you. No matter what you’re after or how big your budget is, you deserve to be understood. 

From our initial meetings to our final drawings, we’ll take into account your brief every step of the way (as well as presenting some exciting ideas you might not have thought of.)

We want you to have the creative freedom to come up with something amazing and change your mind (maybe even a few times.) That’s why we include unlimited revisions at the initial design stages, so you can tweak every last detail to create your dream home for your budget.

If you want to see what your new design will look in reality, we’ll show you using Virtual Reality.

Homes are about space, light and flow – and you can’t always experience that through drawings alone. Spending your hard-earned cash on a conversion or extension is a big deal, so you want to be able to envision exactly what you’re getting for your money.

Where will the kitchen island go? How much light will that skylight add? And how does it feel to see the garden from the minute you walk through the door?

We want to show you the answers to all of these questions with our amazing VR technology.

At HOKO, we bring our ideas to life through our VR headset, 360-degree pictures and video flythroughs which allow you to really imagine your home.

All this is included in the price of our services – because it shouldn’t cost extra to get excited about your new space.

If you think your Architect could be hard to get hold of…welcome to the HOKO Client Dashboard

It’s 3am and something pops into your head that you MUST remember to tell the Architect. We know the feeling. With any project, there are so many things to keep track of that it can be easy to forget.

With HOKO, you don’t need to worry about trying to get a hold of your Architect or saving up enough questions for one costly phone call. Instead, we built a dedicated client dashboard so you can be in constant communication with your individual Project Architect.

Your dedicated Project Architect isn’t just a robot. They’re a real human who you can meet in your home to discuss your ideas and vision. We’re not a digital Architecture practice, we simply use tech to bring our clients’ vision to life.

The HOKO Client Dashboard will ensure that getting in touch with our team is the least of your worries.

For more tips, advice and even more HOKO content (including our new weekly #AskAnArchitect feature) our Instagram is the place to be. You can also see more examples of our digital work on our YouTube channel.
