Services
Site Analysis
Our site analysis service evaluates physical, environmental, and regulatory factors to establish strong design foundations. We assess topography, planning policies, heritage constraints, and sustainability considerations. This ensures projects align with local regulations while maximising site potential for both new builds and renovations.
Feasibility Studies
Feasibility studies determine project viability by analysing planning policies, budget alignment, and site constraints. We provide cost projections, design options, and risk assessments to inform decision-making. This service helps avoid costly changes during construction while ensuring realistic project outcomes.
Schematic Design
Schematic design transforms ideas into visual concepts through floor plans, elevations, and material selections. We explore spatial arrangements and aesthetics while ensuring compliance with planning regulations. This stage establishes the project's overall look and functional framework for client approval.
Design Development
Design development refines schematic concepts into technical plans with material specifications and structural details. We coordinate mechanical systems and resolve design challenges to ensure buildability. This phase produces detailed drawings for planning submissions and construction documentation.
New Build Homes
We design bespoke new build homes tailored to client lifestyles and site contexts. Our process covers site analysis, feasibility, and project management to deliver functional, sustainable residences. Each project balances creativity with practicality, ensuring long-term comfort and property value enhancement.
