Services
Residential Architecture
We create bespoke residential designs tailored to client needs, focusing on light, space, and environmental sustainability. Our process involves initial brief discussions, 2D/3D design development, and statutory approvals. Projects include new builds, extensions, and conservation work across Cambridge and surrounding areas.
Planning Applications
We prepare and submit planning applications with detailed designs and supporting reports. Our expertise ensures compliance with local regulations, maximising approval chances. Clients receive guidance on statutory requirements and feedback from planning authorities.
Building Regulations
Post-planning, we develop working drawings and specifications, coordinate structural engineers, and secure building regulations approval. This ensures construction meets safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency standards, enabling legal project commencement.
Extensions
From small renovations to large-scale extensions, we design functional, aesthetically integrated additions. Services include feasibility studies, design visualisations, and end-to-end regulatory compliance management for residential properties.
Conservation Work
Specialising in preserving historical buildings, we balance modern functionality with traditional aesthetics. Services include sensitive design adaptations, material sourcing, and navigating conservation area restrictions for listed properties.
