Services
Architectural Planning
We create comprehensive architectural plans for residential projects, balancing aesthetic appeal with structural integrity. Our process includes initial concept development, planning applications, and detailed construction documentation. Clients receive tailored solutions that maximise property potential while adhering to local regulations.
Measured Surveys
Our detailed property surveys form the foundation for all design work. Using precision tools, we capture accurate measurements of existing structures to inform renovation or extension projects. This critical first step ensures all subsequent designs align perfectly with the property's physical constraints.
Building Control
We prepare full building regulation submissions to ensure compliance with current standards. Our documentation includes structural calculations and technical specifications required for approval. We coordinate with approved inspectors to streamline the compliance process for clients.
Residential Projects
Specialising in residential architecture, we handle projects from small extensions to complete new builds. Our designs integrate modern living requirements with traditional architectural elements. Each project receives customised attention to match the client's specific lifestyle needs.
New Build Design
We design bespoke new build properties in collaboration with local developers. Our approach combines innovative design with practical construction considerations. Clients benefit from comprehensive design packages that cover all stages from concept to completion.
