From multi-story apartments, to housing developments and individual builds
Based in Surrey, we are a trusted and reliable architectural studio partnering with home builders and housing developers across the UK. We deliver thoughtful, commercially-aware design solutions that streamline planning, enhance build quality, and maximise development value – bringing your housing projects to life with clarity and confidence.
Full Working Drawing Packages
We produce comprehensive technical drawing packages for each dwelling. These include substructure layouts, floor plans, elevations, sections, room layouts, services coordination, plank layouts, roof layouts, and detailed construction drawings. Our packages are fully prepared for construction and enable efficient coordination with consultants and contractors.
Land Enquiries
Whether your site is backland, brownfield, greenfield, or greyfield, we can help assess its development potential. If you own a plot of land and are unsure about the opportunities it may present, please get in touch. We can visit the site and assist you in exploring the most suitable development avenues.
New Build
We deliver fully bespoke new homes designed around our clients’ lifestyles, site conditions, and planning requirements. Our approach ensures a seamless relationship between the internal living spaces and the surrounding environment.
Taking Over from Planning Architects or Designers
Some of our clients approach us with planning permission already in place and require a practice to take over the project from that stage onward. We can lead the process through building control, tendering, construction on site, and project completion.

01
Initial Consultation & Proposal
Your journey begins with an initial consultation, which can take place via phone, Teams, or a site visit. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your ideas, review your site or property, and gather all relevant information. From this, we prepare a detailed fee proposal, outlining the scope, services, and next steps, so you know exactly what to expect.
02
Concept Design & Planning Preparation
Once appointed, we develop concept sketches based on the information gathered and refine them with you through one or two meetings, calls or emails. Once approved, we produce detailed digital drawings for planning submission and liaise with any required consultants, managing the application from start to finish.
03
Building Regulations & Technical Preparation
After planning approval, we produce building regulations drawings, which include detailed technical specifications. At this stage, we bring on board a structural engineer and energy assessor as needed, and submit the complete package to Building Control for approval. This ensures your project complies with all legal and safety requirements.
