What We Do

  • Modern two-story brick house with large windows and balcony, surrounded by a paved patio and green lawn.

    Architecture

    We specialise in all things residential. From internal alterations to house extensions and new builds, as well as larger developments. No project is too big or small.

  • Interior view of a staircase with wooden steps and white railings near a white paneled wall.

    Interiors

    The design of the inside of the house is just as important as the outside. We can offer advice on whole house interior design schemes, including designing bespoke fitted furniture, kitchens and bathrooms.

  • A backyard with a patio area featuring a black metal pergola, two chairs with cushions, and a hanging chair with pillows. There are flower beds on both sides with various plants and flowers, a grassy lawn in the foreground, and neighboring houses and trees in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

    Landscape

    We take the same approach to landscape design as we do to the house, creating areas or ‘rooms’ in your garden for all of your needs, providing a landscaping design that compliments your architectural design.

How We Work

We follow the RIBA work stages to structure projects, and work closely with clients from conception to completion.

In short, our core services are:

  • Undertaking a site and/or building appraisal for feasibility and developing the initial brief.

  • Concept design proposals, review, and development.

  • 3D visuals of the design options and/or chosen design.

  • Planning applications.

  • Technical drawings and building regulations packages.

  • Tender and on site support.

A more detailed breakdown of the various work stages is below:

  • An aerial view of a suburban neighborhood showing a street with parked cars, houses with red roofs, and green yards, along with a large wooded park area to the top left.

    STAGE 0

    STRATEGIC DEFINITION

    We will discuss your project goals with you and undertake an initial site investigation, look at any potential limitations, and establish the feasibility of your project.

  • Floor plan displayed on a tablet with a stylus, showing rooms labeled Living Room, Kitchen, Hall, WC, Ground Floor, and Conservatory, along with measurements in millimeters. A laser distance meter is placed nearby.

    STAGE 1

    PREPARATION AND BRIEF

    Once appointed, we will discuss your project in more detail and create a project brief. Preparations for the project include a measured survey.

  • Modern multi-story house with brick, white, and gray exterior, large windows, and a unique black-framed glass addition on the upper level, set in a grassy yard under a blue sky.

    STAGE 2

    CONCEPT DESIGN

    We then turn your brief into a concept design. This usually consists of a number of plan layout options and some sketch 3D visuals.

  • Front view of a two-story brick house with four windows on each floor, a small covered entryway with steps, and a paved driveway. There are potted plants on either side of the house and a tree in the background.

    STAGE 3

    SPATIAL COORDINATION

    In this stage, the chosen concept design is developed into a full set of drawings. A planning application will be submitted at this stage if required.

  • Architectural floor plan of a house showing rooms such as utility, WC, plant room, boot room, home office, kitchen, dining, lounge, entrance hall, and playroom, with detailed layout and door placements.

    STAGE 4

    TECHNICAL DESIGN

    We will prepare the technical drawings for Building Control and Construction, and can discuss project with your contractor.

  • A construction site with building foundation and steel framing in progress surrounded by greenery and rural landscape.

    STAGE 5

    CONSTRUCTION

    We offer support throughout construction by responding to queries from your contractor or offering advice on any proposed changes. Site visits can be also be undertaken as required.

  • A white two-story house with brick accents, brick pillars at the entrance, and a paved walkway leading to a black front door.

    STAGE 6

    HANDOVER AND CLOSE-OUT

    We always love to visit projects upon completion. We can create as-built information and issue any final design documents or certificates that we have been involved in.

  • Modern kitchen with black cabinetry, a white marble island, and three green stools. Pendant lights hang above the island. The backsplash has light green tiles, and there is a black oven and microwave. Books are on the upper shelves, and outlets are on the island.

    STAGE 7

    IN USE

    We will remain available to answer any queries once the project is completed.

Our Fees

Our fees are determined by the size and complexity of the project, and therefore how much time it will take to complete. We estimate our time input and then provide a fixed fee for each stage. We structure our fees around the RIBA work stages, and they are generally broken down into 3 parts:

Stages 0-3 - from project brief up to planning application.

Stage 4 - technical design for building control and construction.

Stages 5-7 - charged on an hourly fee basis depending on what input is required during construction.
