Architectural services for retrofit and refurbishment

We help homeowners and developers get the best from the buildings they already have.

We believe in working fabric first, which means starting with the existing building and improving how it performs, rather than stripping it back and starting again. Sometimes that means keeping and restoring what's there instead of replacing it, because the right decision for a building isn't always the newest or the most technical one. Working this way often saves time, money, and reduces disruption, leaving you with a home that's comfortable to live in and still full of character. 

How we work

We offer a full architectural service, from first idea to finished home, and you can join us at any stage. 

Understanding

We get to know you, the building and how you want to live in it. We work out what's possible and set a realistic budget.

  • Feasibility studies

  • Pre-application meetings with the local authority

Design and planning

We develop the design and, where needed, manage the planning application from start to finish.

  • Developed design and planning

Detailed design

We turn the design into the technical drawings and specifications that make it buildable, and handle building regulations approval.

  • Technical design and building regulations

  • Coordination with the consultant team, specialists and suppliers

  • Detailed building specifications

  • Construction information

On site

As architect alongside the main contractor, we oversee the build, so the detail that was designed is the detail that gets built.

  • Construction

  • Quality control and inspections

Handover

We see the project through to the end and hand back a home that's ready to live in.
