The practice typically provides the full range of architectural services, as described in the RIBA plan of work, and specialises in residential design. Projects include new housing, alterations and extensions to existing housing, and conversion of other buildings (such as barns or offices) into housing. Our aim is to combine design creativity with technical skill to produce well balanced designs that are rooted in the clients brief. We invest heavily in technology to convey our ideas, and each project is virtually modelled in 3D.
Deciding to extend your home is a major decision that can be expensive and daunting. You will encounter a minefield of planning policies, building regulations, cost implications and design issues on even the smallest of projects. All of these will determine what you can do, how you go about doing it, and what the end value of your property will be. As chartered architects we understand the true value and significance of your investment. We aim to find the best way to improve your property by balancing good design, budget and end value.
Whether it is a loft conversion, house extension or newhousing development, we can provide the full range of architectural services you need to realise your project. This includes carrying out building surveys, feasibility studies, obtaining planning permissions, building regulation approvals, managing projects on site and controlling build costs. Our aim is to provide the level of service that reflects your needs and achieves the highest quality in design standards.
We are committed to providing a professional, high quality service to our clients; and to the idea that buildings should respond sensitively to a clients brief, the site, and to the environment. You would be surprised how few architects truly listen to their clients needs. But to really listen, and let the design process be guided by your needs is critical to achieving a successful project. Ultimately, we design buildings for you, and if a building doesn't respond to your needs it has failed in its purpose (even if it looks great).
