Stage 2-3. Scheme Design & Planning Application
This stage will form a feedback loop between us – working to develop a design that meets your needs as well as aesthetic requirements. This includes time and expenses for one site meeting at the property to discuss the proposals (or online in line with current government advice). This will also include our time for one meeting/one round of correspondence with the planning officer for pre-application advice, if required/available. Followed by all architectural work required for a Planning Submission. Three rounds of scheme amendments are included.
Below example images of design presentation materials for residential extensions/renovation.
The Process
This is the exciting bit where the possibilities are explored and can then be presented for discussion!
A sketch schemes are created (usually with 2-3 options) which are drawn in plan and elevation (if required). A 3D virtual model is available as an option to help you visualise the space (more information here).
A design presentation meeting is setup (or zoom meeting) to discuss the sketch schemes with precedent and example images to help illustrate ideas. These help explore materials, window/door arrangements and the quality of the light in the space, finishes and detailed to get excited about!
Following client feedback, one design option is developed and refined with images and revised drawings sent to you on a regular basis. As the design is finalised, additional supplementary drawings/information are readied for the planning application submission (if required).
Included in Stage 2-3:
- Time for the design and development of the scheme
- One design presentation meeting on site to discuss ideas.
- A maximum of 3 rounds of drawing amendments are included in the fee to finalise the design.
- Drawing package as required for Local Authority planning application
Client feedback gathered at the end of Stage 2-3
“From the start it’s really felt like you’ve been properly interested in the project and have put the effort in to solve problems and make the most of our limited space whilst taking into account both our aesthetics and the practicalities of life.“
Paul and Jo – Weston
“I really enjoyed going through the drawings. You explained them really well and helped us visualise what you were thinking. I don’t think there’s anything I’d say you could improve at! “
Alex and James – Saltford
“We really liked the extra elements proposed (Crittall style windows inside) the curved wall, lights etc. We were not expecting to receive ideas for lighting and detailed interior layouts. You really listened to us and our family’s needs. We were pleased with the ideas, and the presentation exceeded our expectations.“
Claire – Bathampton

Exciting progress on a home renovation and home extension project, soon to be captured in all its glory!
This whole house makeover has recently been completed, leaving our clients snug and warm with new insulation and upgrades throughout. While we eagerly await the professional photographs (especially of that stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space!), we wanted to share this glimpse.
The renovated layout includes more equally sized bedrooms (no more squabbles!) and a fabulous master suite featuring a walk-through dressing area, a large en-suite, and Juliette balcony with beautiful woodland views.
It`s wonderful to see the homeowners settling back in, adding their personal finishes and making this much-altered but cherished house their own again.
We`re thrilled to have helped them remodel and extend their home for long-term enjoyment.

It`s Floorplan Friday!
This week I was at a beautiful Victorian terrace in Bath, chatting with some potential clients about their hopes for extending and reconfiguring their space. It got me thinking about the incredible versatility of these period homes.
Before we even consider a home extension, it`s so important to explore how the existing layout can be improved. You`d be surprised how much difference thoughtful alterations can make! Here are a few different floorplan solutions from various Victorian terrace renovation projects I`ve worked on over the years. Notice how each one is unique, designed specifically for the homeowner and their needs.
Which of these layouts resonates most with you?
What would be your priorities when renovating a Victorian terrace? Let me know in the comments! 👇
