A kitchen extension, fully designed and managed for you

From first idea to final drawings, we handle the entire process so you don’t have to.

If you’ve been thinking about extending your kitchen to create more space, better light, or simply a layout that works for how you live now, we can take care of the entire process from start to finish.

Whether you’ve just moved into a property that needs adapting, or you’re looking to improve the home you already love, a well-designed kitchen extension can completely transform both the space and your day-to-day comfort.

At Acre Design, we don’t just design extensions, we manage the full journey. From the first idea to planning approval, technical drawings and coordination with trusted builders, we handle it all. So you don’t have to.

Designed around your lifestyle

We start by understanding how you want the space to feel and function. Do you want a quiet, comfortable kitchen to cook in without clutter? Or something more open, with room to entertain, enjoy the garden, or dine with friends?

We listen, advise, and develop thoughtful, bespoke layouts that suit your home and your lifestyle. Every design we create is tailored — no templates, no guesswork.

Let us handle all the moving parts

Acre Design brings together everything you need under one roof:

• Concept and layout design
• Planning applications and local authority liaison
• Building regulations and structural engineering
• Technical drawings for builders
• Recommendations for contractors and coordination through to build

You don’t need to deal with multiple consultants or chase up planning paperwork — we take care of it, efficiently and professionally.

Planning permission? Leave it to us

Planning rules vary from one street to the next. What’s approved for your neighbour may not apply to your home, especially if you’re in a conservation area or own a period property.

We deal with planning teams across the Northeast every day and understand what’s likely to be accepted. We’ll handle all communication and submissions on your behalf and give you the best possible chance of smooth approval.

Build-ready plans that avoid surprises

One of the biggest frustrations in home projects is when costs rise during the build. It often comes down to incomplete drawings or vague decisions left until the last minute. We don’t work that way. Every Acre Design project includes a full set of build-ready technical drawings, designed to give you clarity and your builder confidence. The result is a smoother build with fewer surprises and no last-minute compromises.

Built-in flexibility, with expert guidance

Many of our clients want quality without having to micromanage every detail. That’s where our experience comes in. We’ll help you understand what’s possible within your budget, present you with options, and guide you through any decisions, whether it’s where to place lighting, how to configure an island, or which materials will stand the test of time.

Need space for a range cooker? Prefer warm, natural light? Want to explore more sustainable heating options? We’ll handle the detail and give you clear recommendations at every stage.

Made for older homes

Much of our work is with Victorian, Edwardian and mid-century properties, often with small kitchens, awkward layouts, or limited natural light. We know how to design extensions that feel at home with the existing architecture while significantly improving how the space works. That might mean a clean-lined modern contrast, or a seamless match with the original style. Either way, we’ll guide the design to suit your home and taste.

Peace of mind, from start to finish

When you work with Acre Design, you’re not just hiring someone to draw a floorplan — you’re partnering with a team that manages the whole process. You’ll always know what’s happening and what comes next.

We believe good design should make life easier, not more complicated. And that applies as much to the process as the finished space.

Ready to create a better kitchen?

We’d love to help you create a space that’s calm, well-planned, and made for the way you live, without the stress of managing it all yourself.
