Since 2014 our award-winning architects have been designing home extensions and refurbishments, loft conversions, basement conversions on period to modern homes, and bespoke new build homes for our customers.
Taking a client-first approach, our designers think about every aspect of a property when preparing planning designs, making sure that we utilise the space and original features creatively to create the home that you want.
Our architects are known for designing projects that show an understanding of the client’s ideas and wish-list, and ensuring that every aspect of the project is planned, managed and built for you.
Our clients brief is often to create simple, naturally light-filled living spaces, that are energy-efficient, sustainable, and provide optimal living space. We can work with your preferred builder, or help further by selecting the main contractor and managing the entire process on your behalf.
From our London location, we are well-placed for renovation, extensions and new-build projects throughout the Home counties and bring a wealth of creativity to our personal service.

Our design guide takes you through the architectural design process from start to finish. It sets out all the stages from initial design through to completion and shows you how we can help at each step of the way.
Let us help you achieve your home design dreams. Your first step is create a basic design brief using our online enquiry form.
We then look at up to date local policies and planning history and meet with you to explain any constraints you may need to be aware of.
After that, we provide a written fee proposal and help you budget for other costs.
So that you can see how the project will look on completion, we produce three concept designs for you to choose from. These include floor plans, sketches, and can also include 3D images with our premium service.
You may require a planning application, to confirm that designs comply with all local planning regulation. We can complete this for you, along with the selection and management of building contractors if desired.
We also prepare all documents and drawings needed to show that the project complies with national Building Regulations.
To ensure the interior and finish of your space has a high-end finish that fully realises your plans, we provide a full Specification of Works covering interior design, finer finishes and fittings.
We also handle the tender process ensuring there is a range of competitive quotes from trusted suppliers for all work, and that contracts cover all critical information.
We monitor the build process, resolving any issues that arise and reporting back to you regularly.
At the end of this, the final stage is for you to ENJOY the space we’ve helped you create!
Unlike many architects and architectural designers, our fee structure is entirely transparent.
We charge a flat fee of £75 per hour for our services and advise that our full range of services (if used) will be around 8-12% of your total build costs.
Typical architects in the Home counties charge between 11-15% of the construction value.
