Measured building surveys in London, captured in minutes.

Here’s our Leica BLK360 laser scanner at work, capturing a building in London for a measured building survey. We then turn that data into accurate 2D CAD drawings, floor plans, elevations and sections, ready for design, planning and construction.

Planning granted, and now on site!

We’re pleased to share that our single and two storey rear extension has been granted planning permission, and work has now commenced on site.

We’ve also successfully discharged the planning conditions, including the arboricultural method statement, so the project can move ahead.

Swipe through for the first progress shots: steelwork in place, new roof structure going up and blockwork rising.

Old character. New chapter.

We’re delighted to share this completed farmhouse conversion in Leicestershire. Traditional red brick, a natural slate roof, arched window heads and timber sash windows all come together to honour the property’s heritage while giving it a new future.

Every detail was designed to sit comfortably in its village setting, balancing period charm with modern, energy-efficient living.

Where wellness meets architecture.

A home Pilates studio designed around calm: warm polished colour palette, soft concealed lighting, oak flooring and steel-framed glazing that brings in light while keeping the space defined.

Wellness spaces are one of the fastest-growing areas in residential architecture. Good design here is about light, acoustics, natural materials and a layout that gives equipment room to move.

Thinking about a home gym, studio or wellness space? Our 3D visualisations really help our clients to imagine the space we are designing and allows them to picture the flow of the room for their needs.
