Architect

3D Designs

Our Design Booklets are in 3D and we send a link of the models so you can step into the designs using your laptop, tablet or mobile!

We also provide 3 design options (minimum) for you to pick from at the initial design stage.

An immersive and collaborative design experience.

We make sure you feel a part of the design process and we take your desires and must haves to heart as we create designs that are professional and steeped in architectural knowledge yet listen to the necessities of your every day life. We are not a one size fits all type of architect!

We provide you with options so you are left with no doubt that your are choosing the best design route for your situation. At initial design stage we offer you 3 design options (minimum) for you to consider which cover your brief in various ways. We then have a meeting and following this we develop the design into one complete design that is ready to take on to the planning stage.

Extensions

Deciding to add an extension is a major decision for a person or family to make. The process can be exciting, stressful, time consuming, satisfying and rewarding. We are here to help you so that the process goes as smoothly as it can.  

adding living space and value to your home…

There are lots of factors to weigh up when you are thinking about an extension. Factors such as:

  • Cost.

  • Feasibility of construction.

  • Size (single storey, double storey, wrap around etc).

  • Materials and specs to use.

  • Length of time to build.

  • The impact on future valuation of the house.

  • How much happier you will be with the extra living space.

It is difficult to provide an estimated construction cost at the outset as cost is very much dependent on the level of finishes, products chosen and also on individual contractors pricing processes and availability during the tender process. This being said, we would like to reassure you that once you have a firm construction budget is established, we will work to those parameters and work closely with you throughout the project to get the best design and price possible. This is where our passion for residential architecture and our creative thinking can be of great assistance to you..

Our initial site consultation will discuss the brief, budget and feasibility of your project and advise on consents and additional consultants likely to be required. Basically, we take in the whole project parameters as we look to leave no stone unturned. Following the meeting we will provide you with a quotation document for you to consider.

Renovations

If your project is more about working with what you have in terms of footprint we can add flair and precision so you get the most out of the space you have available. A carefully planned out renovation of your home can add thousands of pounds onto its value so it is important to maximise your design by using a professional.

SPRUCE UP AND FEEL THE BENEFIT…

When we visit you as part of the initial site consultation we will be looking at how you currently use the space and the problems you are encountering to decipher which layout configurations will work and which don’t for you. We are also keen to understand your likes and dislikes and what you need from the space, essentially building an idea of how the house could best work for your lifestyle.

Bespoke Housing

Build your legacy and create your unique imprint on the community you live in, safe in the knowledge a professional, chartered architect has ensured quality throughout.

BUILDING YOUR LEGACY

If you have ever watched Grand Designs you will have noticed a theme - beautiful homes come with problems to solve and often lead to stressful times for the person that attempts to cut corners. Budget and time management often go out the window and it can all become too much for the people who had the courage to dream of their perfect home.

Utilise our professional experience to alleviate the risk of the unknown. We can take your project from idea to design, obtaining planning permission, building regulation approval and then we can help with the interior too.

Building a new home is an incredibly personal experience so it is of the upmost importance that we fit your personality, understand your thought process and constraints and can transfer your ideas into reality so an Initial site consultation is a must.
