Any architects in our midst Looking for someone to sympathetically extend a detached Victorian riverside gaff in the midlands. Someone who knows what Steampunk is would be a bonus

I`d extend it up a couple of metres if it`s next to a river,

Yes, flood defenses are going to be part of the mandate

Why do you want an architect in fancy dress ?

It's not just clothes, it can be applied to architecture and furniture as well. Basically just Victorian engineering styling with modern functionality. Here's an extreme example

Can also be applied to vehicles:-

I'm not local, so I can't help directly. However, I would be happy to look over whatever preliminary plans your eventual architect comes up with, to give my opinion on matters practical, economic and aesthetic. Sometimes it's good to get a second set of eyes on a project.
