Lara Turner Architectural Services

Lara Turner Architectural Services provides a more personable and cost-effective alternative to larger architectural practices, specialising in the planning and design of both domestic and commercial buildings.

Established in 2011 by Lara Turner, a full Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT), the practice has a wealth of experience in delivering a wide range of projects, from extensions and loft conversions to new builds and barn conversions, as well as work on listed and conservation buildings.

Lara's architectural journey began in 2008 when she started working as an Architectural Technician. This hands-on experience exposed her to a diverse portfolio of projects, allowing her to develop a strong understanding of the complexities involved in the design and construction process. She honed her skills further through several qualifications, including an MSci in Astrophysics, an HNC in Construction, City and Guilds Level 3 2D AutoCAD, and an NCFE in Interior Design. This unique blend of technical expertise and artistic vision allows Lara to approach each project with a creative and practical mindset.

Our Services

Lara Turner Architectural Services offers a comprehensive range of design and planning services to meet the unique needs of our clients.

We begin by working closely with our clients to understand their vision and aspirations for their project, carefully considering their lifestyle, budget, and any specific requirements. Based on this initial consultation, we produce detailed plans, elevations, and technical specifications to bring the design to life. Our team excels at navigating the complexities of planning regulations, ensuring that every project complies with local building codes and standards. We handle the submission of planning applications on your behalf, diligently addressing any queries from the local authority.

Additionally, we secure Building Control approval, guaranteeing that the construction process adheres to the highest safety and quality standards. We offer a seamless experience, guiding our clients through every stage of the project, from initial concept to final construction.

Our services extend beyond residential projects. We also provide bespoke architectural solutions for commercial clients, including floor plans and 3D visualisations for estate agents, lease plans for solicitors, and CAD support for other architectural practices.
