The Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA) is urging its chartered practices and members to register now for the 2012 run of Architect in the House. This charitable scheme gives homeowners one hour’s free consultation with a local RIBA architect and offers the chance to support Shelter with an optional donation of £40.

George Clarke, a chartered architect, TV presenter and Shelter ambassador who is supporting Architect in the House, said: “Whatever the project, architects can help to release a homeowner’s property potential by offering invaluable advice on everything from structural design to fixtures and fittings.

“The scheme is a great way for architects to make the most of their expert advice while raising money for Shelter at the same time. As a Shelter ambassador I’ve seen first hand how the money raised by this scheme helps people in desperate housing need.”

RIBA president, Angela Brady, explains: “By getting involved in Architect in the House and giving homeowners a few hours of their expertise, architects can support a fantastic cause. We can help people unleash the potential of their homes while helping those with more significant housing problems.”

The project takes place from May with homeowners being matched to a local RIBA chartered practices and architects best suited to meet their requirements.
