A great many Irvine houses were finished to the same specification as their neighbours. Interior design here is largely about giving a sound but anonymous house a point of view — through joinery, light and material choice rather than through structural change, which the house rarely needs.
Giving a builder-standard house a point of view
Joinery does the heavy lifting
In a house that is structurally fine, built-in joinery is what changes both how it looks and how it functions. It is also what most distinguishes one otherwise identical plan from another.
Where the rules touch design
Interior work is rarely governed by an association. Anything altering the exterior can be. Establishing that early avoids designing something that then has to be unpicked.
