With a proven track record in HMO conversion designs and planning, we bring a unique blend of creativity and regulatory acumen to redefine living spaces and maximize their potential.

Understanding HMO Conversion:

HMOs, or Houses in Multiple Occupation, are residences shared by three or more individuals who are not part of the same household but share common facilities. Converting a property into an HMO involves thoughtful design considerations, adherence to safety regulations, and an understanding of the unique needs of multiple occupants.

Site Evaluation: Studio FRI conducts a detailed evaluation of the property, assessing its current condition and identifying any structural or regulatory challenges. This evaluation informs our design strategy, ensuring that the proposed HMO meets both practical and regulatory standards.

Conceptual Design: Collaborating closely with you, our team develops a conceptual design that envisions the transformed HMO. This stage involves creative space planning, interior design concepts, and a focus on creating communal areas that foster a sense of community.
