What does an architect deliver?
We always provide architectural services tailored to your needs so we can create a design that fits your vision, works well, and meets all regulations. From ideas and sketches to planning permission and overseeing construction, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Here are some of our key architectural services:

Full refurbishments, conversions and de-conversion projects
Refurbishing or converting a property — whether it’s your home or a commercial space — can be a big undertaking. The same goes for returning a space to its original purpose. Having a team of professionals to provide essential design and building surveyor services can help ensure you get the results you want.
We can offer creative yet practical solutions. From planning a new layout and making structural changes to updating features, our architectural design team can create detailed plans and drawings to help you visualise the final results. We can also provide project management and contract administration services to keep everything on track and within budget.

New build projects
Building a property from scratch offers the opportunity to design a home or building that perfectly fits your needs and vision. We can guide you through the entire process — from the initial concept and planning to detailed designs and obtaining the necessary permissions.
Our architect, Giulia, has a deep understanding of history, landscape, and architecture. She uses this knowledge to create building designs that integrate natural materials and gardens. Her approach blends functionality with beauty and sustainability.
We’ve even designed stunning treehouse structures that embrace a colourful, whimsical touch.

Loft conversions, extensions and alterations
Extending your property with an additional room or by converting a loft area can be a great way to enhance your space. You can make it your own and increase your home’s value. We can help bring your vision to life with bespoke architectural services tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re extending or modifying, we can help create a comfortable, personalised space for you to enjoy.
Take a look at our single storey extension in Chelmsford, that along with general refurbishment work has helped to transform the property and add to its market value. Our team also has experience in working with period properties,with services including a full measured survey, production of existing and proposed plans, elevations and cross-sections, as well as 3d visualisation carried out to date for
a grade 2 listing in Nayland.

Planning and building regulation applications
Creative design is one aspect of our approach, but we also recognise the importance of getting the right permissions. Without these, you can run the risk of delays and fines — and in the worst-case scenarios, you may even need to alter or remove work after it’s completed.
We’re here to simplify the process. From preparing documentation to liaising with local authorities, we’ll ensure your project complies with all legal requirements and building codes.

Listed building consent and conservation area consent applications
If you’re refurbishing or extending a listed building or a property in a conservation area, there are some extra considerations to be aware of. We can handle any required consent applications so you can feel confident knowing your project is compliant.
We’ll also make sure that any work respects and preserves the original character of your property.
