This is where early design ideas become a fully considered scheme. At this stage, we shape a design that responds to your home, your brief, and the planning context. All our designs are "Regs-Aware" with technical awareness built in from the start. You just choose the level of design development and material refinement you want and we do the rest.

The qualities of a space define the way we live in it. Following an in-person site visit and a measured building survey, we draw your home to scale and test different spatial configurations to unlock its full potential. We test diverse schematic plan options, each complete with furniture layouts and a high-level cost plan, to make use of every inch of space and light.
This process creates a clear, buildable blueprint that balances beautiful design with real-world structural reality and cost, making it an ideal vehicle to explore your dream loft conversions and home or kitchen extensions.
Ideal for homeowners who want precision, design options and a stronger basis for decision making going forward.

Great homes are also about how materials feel. By processing and enhancing your visual references for the project, we develop a carefully curated palette of textures tailored specifically to your space. Using high-end, realistic 3D visuals, you can see exactly how natural light and materials interacts with your new spaces before any building work starts.
This process allows you to refine the design, align your budget with high-end choices, and eliminate costly on-site guesswork, ensuring the finished space looks and feels exactly as you intended.
Ideal for homeowners who want precision, design options and a stronger basis for decision making going forward.
