We've Done This Before

From the Midlands' first Passivhaus to boutique home improvements and multi-million pound Grand Designs, we don't just talk a good game.

Our Newport Residence proves contemporary can work anywhere. Our Brookside project shows how to maximize difficult sites. And our 97% planning success rate? That speaks for itself.

Every good project starts with a conversation.

Tell us what you're trying to achieve, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

What We Really Do

No fluff. No jargon. Just brilliant residential design from our Derby studio - between the Cathedral and a good pub.

01

Extensions That Feel Like They've Always Been There

Need more space but love where you live? We get it. Our bespoke additions to your home don't look like add-ons—they look like they've always been part of your home. We'll figure out the tricky bits: Should the new kitchen face the garden or the street? Where does the morning light hit?

And we handle all the planning permission headaches with Derby City Council too.

02

Renovations Without the Therapy Bills

Grand Designs without the divorce. We manage the chaos so you don't have to. From Darley Abbey period properties to Allestree new builds that need personality, we transform homes while keeping relationships intact.

03

New Builds That Dont Look Like Everyone Else's

Why build boring? Our Passivhaus expertise means you get a home that's not just beautiful, but practically runs itself. Lower bills, better living, and definitely no beige.

Why Derby Families Are Choosing Us

01

We Actually Answer The Phone

Novel concept, we know. But when you're spending serious money on your home - whether building new or extending - you deserve more than an out-of-office reply.

02

We Know Every Planning Trick

New build on a tricky plot? Extension in a conservation area? Renovation that needs listed building consent? We've conquered them all and have the battle scars to prove it.

03

Your Budget, Not Our Ego

We design to your budget, not our portfolio. Want Passivhaus performance? We'll make it happen. Champagne taste, prosecco budget? We'll make that work too.

04

One Team, Start to Finish

Same faces from first sketch to final snagging. No passing you between departments, no dropped balls, no "that's not what we discussed". Just consistent brilliance.

Awards

Local practice. National recognition.

Why families in Derby are choosing us...

We know Derby well. We know what the planners like, what building control require, and which local contractors actually turn up on time.

More importantly, we know that every family is different. Cookie-cutter solutions don't work when you're creating the place where your kids will grow up and you'll make memories.
