Transforming your home is an exciting opportunity, but also a significant investment. Choosing the right architectural designer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the process. The designer you select should not only understand your vision but also bring the knowledge, creativity, and technical expertise needed to make it a reality.

At Acre Design, we specialise in creating exceptional extensions, conversions and bespoke self-build homes across Newcastle and the North East. With over a decade of experience, we combine design flair with technical rigour to deliver homes that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Here are some key considerations when selecting your architectural designer—and why so many families choose to work with us:

Local expertise matters

Newcastle and the wider North East are renowned for their rich mix of Victorian, Georgian and contemporary homes. Designing within these contexts requires specialist knowledge of the area’s architecture and planning environment. Our team is deeply familiar with both, ensuring that your project not only looks right but also progresses smoothly through planning and regulation.

Design centred around you

Great design is about far more than aesthetics. It’s about creating a home that enhances your lifestyle every single day. At Acre, we invest time in understanding how you live and what matters to you, from family gatherings around a kitchen island to creating quiet retreat spaces. Using advanced 3D design software, we bring your project to life before a brick is laid—so you can be confident the final design feels exactly right.

Harnessing the latest technology

We believe in combining timeless design principles with the most up-to-date tools and building methods. From energy-efficient materials to eco-conscious construction techniques, our approach ensures that your home is not only stylish but also future-ready.

A guiding hand from start to finish

Extending or remodelling your home is a journey—and we’re with you at every step. From concept design through planning permission, building control drawings and liaising with contractors, we manage the details so you can enjoy the process with complete confidence.

At Acre Design, we don’t just design buildings—we help families create homes that enrich their lives for years to come.
