Architectural Services in Colchester, Braintree & Tendring

A DP provides architectural design and technical services for residential, commercial and development projects across Colchester, Braintree, Tendring and the wider North Essex area.

Based in Colchester, we work with homeowners, landowners, developers and businesses on projects ranging from extensions and alterations to new homes, conversions and larger residential developments.

Our approach combines architectural design, planning knowledge and technical expertise, helping clients develop practical and well-considered schemes from the initial concept through to planning and construction.

Every project has its own requirements. We take time to understand the site, the existing building and your objectives before developing a design that responds to its surroundings and makes the most of the opportunities available.

Our architectural services include:

Residential Development

We have experience designing residential developments of different scales, from, self-build and custom-build projects, individual homes and small infill schemes to larger housing developments.

Our work includes developments on greenfield land, previously developed land and sites within existing settlements.

Whether you are developing an individual dwelling or considering a larger residential scheme, we can help develop a design that responds to the site, its surroundings and the planning context.

Extensions and Alterations

We design extensions, alterations and improvements to existing homes, helping homeowners make better use of their property while responding appropriately to the character of the building and its surroundings.

Conversions

We provide architectural design services for the conversion and adaptation of existing buildings.

This can include the conversion of residential, commercial and rural buildings to alternative uses, subject to the relevant planning and building regulations requirements.

Commercial Development

We also provide architectural and technical design services for commercial and mixed-use projects, including alterations, extensions, conversions and new development.

As a Colchester-based practice, we regularly work on projects throughout Colchester and the surrounding villages. We work across the Colchester area, including locations such as Wivenhoe, Tiptree, Stanway, West Bergholt, Dedham and surrounding villages.

Our understanding of the local planning context also allows architectural design to be considered alongside planning requirements from the outset.
