What is Architect in the House?

Have you got a project you've been keeping on the backburner – an idea to improve your home that you've mulled over, but never looked into?

Staircase Architect in the House offers you an hour-long consultation with an RIBA chartered architect, who is giving their time in exchange for a suggested donation of £40 to Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity.

It's the perfect opportunity to speak to an expert about bringing your idea to life and creating the space you have always wanted. An RIBA chartered architect will help you consider the whole picture, from designing and planning, to 'managing' the builders and ensuring your project is energy efficient.

Where your money goes

Over the past 12 years Architect in the House has raised £700,000, helping thousands of families to find and keep their homes.

The money you give will go towards Shelter's work with families in housing need. One in seven children in Britain lives in rundown, damp or overcrowded housing, or is without a permanent home altogether. Shelter provides services to support them, and fights to defend their education, health and wellbeing. A donation of £40 could pay for 40 minutes of expert housing advice to people in urgent need of support on Shelter's free helpline.
