Services
Home Extensions
We design bespoke home extensions that maximise space while adhering to local planning regulations. Our architects create detailed 3D visualisations to ensure client vision alignment. Services include single/double storey extensions, wraparounds, and side returns. We handle planning permission, structural calculations, and builder selection. Clients benefit from fixed pricing and virtual reality walkthroughs for informed decision-making.
Loft Conversions
Specialising in hip-to-gable, dormer, and mansard loft conversions, we transform unused attic space into functional rooms. Our process includes structural assessments, building control compliance, and integration with existing property aesthetics. We provide cost estimates, material specifications, and VR visualisations. Clients receive end-to-end management from design to completion, ensuring minimal disruption and guaranteed planning approval.
New Build Homes
We design bespoke new build homes tailored to client requirements and site constraints. Services cover concept development, planning applications, and construction documentation. Our architects incorporate energy-efficient solutions and modern materials while respecting local architectural styles. We offer package options from basic designs to full project management, including builder tendering and on-site supervision for quality assurance.
Commercial Conversions
We specialise in converting commercial premises into residential spaces, including apartment blocks and mixed-use developments. Our expertise includes navigating complex planning policies, maximising ROI through space optimisation, and ensuring compliance with building regulations. We provide feasibility studies, 3D modelling, and cost projections. Clients benefit from our established relationships with approved contractors and streamlined approval processes.
Virtual Reality Walkthroughs
Our VR technology allows clients to experience their proposed designs in immersive 3D environments. This service enables real-time design adjustments, ensuring spatial requirements are met before construction begins. We use laser-scanned measurements for accuracy, reducing costly post-build modifications. VR walkthroughs are included in premium packages, enhancing client understanding of lighting, layout, and material choices.
