ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Our architectural team create exceptional living spaces, beautifully designed & meticulously planned to maximise contemporary living requirements. We tailor each individual scheme to suit your style and budget while emphasising your own personality, taste and design flair.

We excel at the design of exemplary homes, with each project giving us a chance to create something original and spectacular. While this inevitably involves careful and complex coordination, we have designed a straightforward and customer-friendly process. We use a RIBA-based staged approach, set out with key, tangible milestones, allowing our clients to fully engage in and enjoy the design process, without having to worry about appointing and individually managing a host of independent consultants, or future ambiguous fees.

Our design team bring a passionate and sensitive approach to all our projects. We work collaboratively with our clients to help develop and uncover the full potential of their brief, finding the unique opportunities that exist within it. We are passionate about the implementation of innovative design ideas and transforming our client’s homes, with each of our projects carefully and innovatively crafted to find the perfect solution to an individual brief, property and budget.

Our in-house construction service allows us to design with the benefit of real-time “behind-the-scenes” analysis of live construction projects, ensuring we are designing while taking the crucial “buildability” of our schemes properly into account. Many architects can draw up a dream design, but we ensure our designs are not only inspirational but also practical and economically viable.

Our methodology is to work with our clients to make all critical decisions and choices in advance of the build going live. We typically work to a 5% contingency on projects where we have developed a fully detailed and itemised specification.

Our design fees are extremely competitive for the service we provide. We charge a fixed cost for concepts & planning, then a further fixed cost to produce a tender pack for construction. We do not believe in hidden fees or complicated, ambiguous percentage-based fee models. We have three set stages which are based on clear deliverables and the RIBA plan of work. Meaning our clients know the full extent of our fees from the outset, but are only asked to commit on a stage by stage basis. Any third-party specialists are invoiced separately.
