When it comes to the design of a house, there is nothing more important than the relationship between yourself and your architect. There has to be trust, professionalism and an ability to respect and understand each other – otherwise the project is doomed from the start. This is one of the reasons we strongly recommend selecting a local architectural designer, as this facilitates direct contact throughout the project.

A single story extension is one of the fastest and most cost-effective house extension options. You can use a single story extension for many purposes, including a home gym, office, expanded kitchen or additional living room. Acquiring planning permission for simple extensions is normally quite fast and some projects are covered under permitted development rules. What is more, a single story extension can often be completed within a matter of months, giving you fast access to additional living space.
