The Design Workshop + Sketchbook

You're thinking about extending, altering or improving your home, but you're not quite sure what's possible or where to begin. Getting good, independent design advice can seem daunting, complicated and expensive. It doesn't need to be.

A Design Workshop is a friendly, collaborative session where we explore your ideas together. I bring the architectural experience and 3D modelling skills, you bring your ambitions. We design live, testing options and developing practical proposals as we go.

 The Design Sketchbook is a detailed set of measured drawings, including plans, sections, elevations and 3D views. It provides a clear visual record of your existing space, the proposed changes and what your home could become.

I listen
We discuss your ideas, ambitions, practical requirements and budget.

I model
I build a 3D model of your space, bringing your ideas to life as we work.

We explore
Together, we experiment with layouts, test alternatives and develop design solutions.

We refine
We adjust the design, resolve practical issues and establish a clear direction.

You take away
Your Design Sketchbook — a visual record of the ideas, solutions and next steps.

It's a different way of working. After 30 years in design and architecture, I can develop ideas, solve problems and produce drawings on the fly. I don't need hours to work through every detail — what I need is to understand what you want. By working together, we combine your ideas with my experience to develop practical, imaginative and affordable solutions in real time.
