Stage 3b. Computer 3D Modelling (Optional)
3D modelling can facilitate your involvement in the design process and helps to create visual understanding of the proposed space. The modelling can create clear images of the proposed spaces. It is possible to model the light and shadows at any given time in the year, or help you picture the internal space with furnishings/kitchen fittings providing views of the spaces. Walkthroughs in the proposed space(s) and showing sun tracking are included. A video walkthrough is provided, as well as 2D printed exports of the spaces from key views.
This creates some exciting images that provide a helpful discussion/talking point, either during the design process or for clients to show friends/family etc.
The modelling is updated in line with the drawings to help you see the affect of any changes and amendments. It helps highlight the effects on light and space as well as allowing ideas to be “tried out”.

Not every home renovation is about adding extra space or extensions. Sometimes, it`s about making your existing space work brilliantly for you!
In this 200-year-old cottage, we created bright, uplifting rooms. The top-floor bedroom showcases the stunning exposed roof structure, and throughout the house, we opened up spaces to maximise daylight and connect with the cottage garden. Perfect for enjoying views out over spring bulbs!

So many beautiful stone options at @allgreengb in Yeovil! I spent some time there this week exploring their sample panels for a Wiltshire home extension project.
We`re planning to use stone slips to update the exterior of a 1970s property, and All Green`s range of colours, textures, and sizes is truly inspiring.
Think sleek and modern, or rustic and textured – the possibilities are endless! They have everything from wall cladding and sets to pavers and patio stone.

Did anyone else feel like these past few weeks have been particularly cold and dark?
Yesterday`s sunshine was a welcome reminder that spring is on its way!
I`ve been noticing little touches of it everywhere, but yesterday`s sun gave me motivation to record it!
Sharing some beautiful images of spring in action to help us all hold on to the promise of warmer, brighter days.
What`s your favorite sign of spring? Let me know in the comments!

It`s not pretty, it`s not neat and it`s not tidy...
But for me, working by hand with multiple colours is a helpful way to work through design ideas and option iterations.
These will be a basis for for development and testing the ideas, drawing up accurately and a starting point.
But working by hand will always be the most natural way for me to get into a flow state of thinking about designs.

Can you spot the cold bridges?
This beautiful 1920s house has a lot of character, but it`s also got some serious thermal performance issues. From small cavities to cold bridging stone mullions, it`s a classic case of heritage charm vs. modern comfort.
Im excited to develop a retrofit plan to improve energy efficiency and create a warmer, more comfortable home.
