Architectural Design and Planning
With extensive experience in architectural design, I specialize in the residential sector, including renovations, barn conversions, extensions, and new builds. Whether your project involves an empty plot, replacing an existing building, or developing an infill or garden plot, I provide tailored solutions. I also have expertise in small multi-unit developments in both urban and rural settings.
As a client-focused architect, I prioritize understanding your aspirations to deliver site-specific, bespoke design solutions. I guide you through every stage of the process—from project inception and planning to building control—providing building regulations-compliant working drawings designed for tendering with contractors, builders, and tradespeople.
My comprehensive approach ensures full compliance with planning approvals, complete with all necessary documentation to clear planning conditions, streamlining the journey toward a successful and stress-free build.
