Architectural Design Services for Homeowners in the North East
A Complete Service – From First Sketch to Final Build
At Acre Design, we provide a full residential architectural design service tailored to homeowners across Newcastle, North Shields, and the wider North East. Our focus is simple: to make the process of extending or refurbishing your home clear, predictable, and stress-free, while creating spaces that truly improve everyday life.
Our Process
We combine the creativity and technical detail you’d expect from an architect with the accessibility and focus of a dedicated residential design studio. From the very first conversation, we guide you step by step – from initial concepts and lifelike 3D visuals through to planning approvals, contractor quotes, and on-site support during construction. Our structured process gives you confidence that your project will run smoothly, on time, and on budget.
What We Design
We specialise exclusively in residential projects, including:
- Heritage home modernisations and refurbishments
- Conservation area developments
- Luxury open-plan rear extensions
- Loft conversions
- Self-build homes
- Full refurbishments and remodels
- Project management and tendering
- Concept-to-completion projects – not just plan drawing
Whether you want to open up a light filled kitchen diner, create more bedrooms for a growing family, or design a bespoke self-build home, our team blends creativity, technical accuracy, and clear communication at every stage.
Why Homeowners Choose Acre Design
Accurate Architectural Drawings That Save You Money
Cheap, unclear drawings are one of the biggest risks in residential projects – they lead to inflated contractor quotes and costly mistakes on site. We produce clear, buildable architectural drawings that make it easy for contractors to price accurately, protecting your budget and avoiding nasty surprises.
See Your Home Before It’s Built
We use the latest 3D software to create lifelike images and explainer videos, helping you visualise your home before a brick is laid. This gives you clarity and confidence, removing guesswork and regret.
Support From Start to Finish
Our service doesn’t stop with planning approval. We manage the tender process, source like-for-like contractor quotes, and can act as your construction professional during the build. This protects your investment, keeps standards high, and ensures deadlines are met.
Peace of Mind Throughout
You’ll receive clear timelines from day one and regular updates as your project progresses. Our goal is simple: to give you the reassurance that your home and your investment are in safe hands.
Start Your Project With Confidence
Your home deserves more than drawings. It deserves a structured, stress-free process that transforms your ideas into a space that truly works for your life.
