Our Expertise
Two-Storey Extensions
Whether you’re seeking a spacious master suite, additional bedrooms for family, or a blend of living and entertaining areas, our bespoke two-storey designs maximise both value and lifestyle. We handle all planning applications seamlessly, giving you peace of mind.
Single-Storey Extensions
Perfect for creating open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces. These extensions transform the way you live at home — designed around light, flow and comfort.
Sunrooms
Unlike conservatories, our sunrooms are designed for year-round use. Elegant, energy-efficient, and versatile, they provide a bright and welcoming living space that connects seamlessly with your garden.
Timber Frame Specialists
Our expertise in timber frame design and construction delivers sustainable, cost-efficient, and beautifully finished extensions and homes — often with faster build times and outstanding energy performance.
Garage and Loft Conversions
Unlock the potential in underused spaces. From stylish home offices to luxurious guest suites, we design conversions that integrate seamlessly with your existing home.
New Build Homes and Conversions
From bespoke single homes to boutique developments, we design properties that stand out for their elegance, functionality, and architectural integrity. We also transform commercial or historic properties with sensitive, creative conversions that respect character while delivering modern living.
