Why I Have a Shop – Making Architecture More Accessible

For most homeowners, working with an architect feels like a big step—one that often comes with uncertainty, cost concerns, and a lot of unknowns. That’s exactly why I created this shop.

I wanted to make high-quality architectural services more accessible—not just for full-scale projects but for people at all stages of the journey. Whether you’re just exploring ideas or you’re ready to submit applications, this store provides the tools, drawings, and services needed to move your project forward.


What This Shop is About

Traditional architecture services can feel like an all-or-nothing commitment—either you hire an architect for a full project, or you go it alone. But in reality, most homeowners need something in between. That’s where this shop comes in.

It offers architectural services in a flexible, scalable way, allowing you to:
🏡 Start small – Explore ideas with a hand-drawn sketch design before committing to a full service
📜 Get the essentials – Purchase key documents like planning maps, title plans, and sewer records
📝 Manage approvals – Submit Planning & Building Regulations applications with expert guidance
🛠️ Stay in control – Book site visits, compliance checks, and final sign-offs when needed


Designed for How People Really Work on Their Homes

From my years of experience working with homeowners, I’ve learned that remodeling and extending a home isn’t just about construction—it’s about life. Your home evolves as your needs change. The process isn’t always linear, and often, you need to take small steps before committing to bigger ones.

This shop reflects that reality. Instead of locking you into a rigid service, it lets you access only what you need, when you need it.

Need design ideas? Start with a Sketch Design Service
Already know what you want? Book a Full Service Package
Just need documents for an application? Get a DWG file, an OS map, or a planning submission service
Worried about compliance? Book a Building Regs package or a Principal Designer sign-off

Every service here is designed to reduce risk, provide clarity, and move your project forward without unnecessary barriers.


A Better Way to Work with an Architect

This shop isn’t about selling generic plans—it’s about offering thoughtful, professional services in a way that works for real people. It’s about helping you make informed decisions before committing to major work. It’s about flexibility, expertise, and making good design more accessible.

So whether you’re just thinking about a project or you’re ready to get started, this shop is here to provide expert architectural services, when and how you need them.
