Practice Approach

At Archplan Architects, the initial approach is always to maximise the value of a property or development site. This is achieved through inventive design solutions that add floor area, make the best use of available space, and bring natural light into the interior. The design philosophy revolves around creating additional space and increasing natural light where possible, resulting in a spacious and well-lit interior that meets the client's needs.

Although the practice has a contemporary style, it is experienced in sensitive refurbishments of period and listed properties. Archplan Architects strives to understand a client's vision for their property and help make it a reality, ensuring that each project is tailored to the client's specific requirements.

Services

Archplan Architects offers a comprehensive range of services, including:

1. Property Acquisition: The practice assists clients in acquiring properties that have development potential, taking into account the client's vision and the property's location, size, and condition.

2. Planning Issues: Archplan Architects handles all planning issues, from obtaining planning permission to liaising with local authorities and meeting building regulations.

3. Design: The practice creates bespoke designs that maximise the potential of each property, taking into account the client's requirements, the property's characteristics, and the surrounding environment.

4. Interior Design: Archplan Architects offers interior design services that complement the overall design, ensuring that the interior spaces are functional, attractive, and tailored to the client's needs.

5. Construction Management: The practice manages the construction process from start to finish, ensuring that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest possible standards.

Example Projects
