Will – Residential architect in Brighton
(click on his name above to view his full profile and shortlist his practice for your project)
My name is Will, I am an architect and designer, as well as a university lecturer and Brighton resident.
I am passionate about creating welcoming, personal, innovative spaces and helping people transform their homes into places they will love spending time in every day.
I try to find what it is about you, your family or your property that is unique, and then by working with you, transform this into a design which is personal and individual.
I work with the latest 3D visualisation technology to help you understand the design as it develops, as well as utilising CNC manufacturing to create amazing, truly bespoke elements.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, even if just for a chat about what you have planned!

‘Our studio specialises in residential architecture.
Our work is centred around finding a considered solution to our client’s brief by taking the big idea and resolving it back to its simplest form, to a point where there is nothing more to add or to take away. We strive to find the delicate balance between craft, materials, functionality, sustainability, light and nature, whilst sensitively considering each detail to create a refined design.
Through this approach, our projects use a restrained material palette with the aim of elevating the beauty of the natural materials selected. The architecture becomes soft, light, sensitive, creating an environment that is beautiful, peaceful and timeless.’

Hugh – Residential architect in Hackney E8
(click on his name above to view his full profile and shortlist him for your project
‘I design architecture that makes the most of space, time and money in order to create generous houses that are a pleasure to inhabit. My approach explores re-using architectural styles from the local area in a contemporary manner, and utilising materials that are unusual and individual, yet perfectly suited for each project . These approaches help me to look at each house in its own bespoke way, and celebrate the narrative, colour, and personality of your day-to-day home.
By carrying out careful studies of the area, and then producing design options and iterations, I and my practice come up with new ways to solve problems. Through careful consultation and updates, we ensure that the designs are perfectly suited to the way you want to live. Our tailored approach carries right the way through the project, ensuring that you have completed work of the highest quality.
We have experience of working in Bedford, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Redbridge, Southwark, Wandsworth, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Haringey, and Islington.’

Simon – Residential architect in Cambridgeshire
(click on their name above to view their full profile and shortlist them for your project)
‘ENVISION : DESIGN : CREATE I am passionate about design and architecture, and about creating spaces for our clients to enjoy. Our focus is on you and your needs. Your requirements are paramount to ensuring that every aspect of the design fulfils your vision. The ideas will be driven by this and influenced by your site, its environment and your budget. Every project has a story and we would like to add another chapter to yours.
I approach each project to understand the characters, the composition and the historical facts relating to the site or the building, so as to then form the new narrative of the project. The site or plot is a key aspect we always start with on developing a design. I will analyse the orientation, the views around and within the site and the movement of people to the vegetation and topography. All of this information forms layers of influence that start to generate conceptual drivers towards a design.‘

“A note from Design for Me:
Instead of just following ever-changing trends, we aim for designs that stand the test of time and age beautifully. We put my effort in every detail from the subtle integration of the proposed designs into the context to fine details of crafted joinery and lighting.
For clients interested in a perfect coherence between interior and exterior, we offer architectural, interior and landscape design services while overseeing the project from concept to completion.
Because we design with care and respect to the context all our planning applications have been approved to date.
The clients and their unique personalities and needs are our biggest inspiration. This is why we first aim to truly understand their needs before coming with problem-solving solutions.
