Lacey Architecture is a young, open-minded architectural design company passionate about residential design. Each project is approached by considering your requirements, context and your budget. We listen to our client’s requirements and provide a high level of practical support and advice throughout, particularly for those who haven’t built or extended previously. As well as a quick turnaround and pragmatic approach for those in the construction industry or with more experience.
We combine fresh contemporary thinking with an unusually high level of hands on practical experience. We love buildings that are logical, economical and straightforward to build, while layering details in a considered and practical manner.
We have a passion for practical, achievable sustainability without relying on expensive ‘bolt-ons’. Cohesive design and considering the surroundings allows the building to be responsive and complement the context.
We are able to assist with survey drawings, planning/lawful development packages, Building Regulation and construction drawings for all scales of residential and commercial design.
We can meet to discuss your plans and ideas then provide a free quote for our design services broken down into clear stages.
Please contact us for information or to discuss your project.
All projects are being undertaken with an option for remote working, with presentations offered virtually or in person (as suits client preference).
This is to allow us to always work within the changing restrictions and offer a smooth, undisrupted service. Client preference is always a priority with us adapting to suit your needs and ensure your project evolves smoothly.
We are able to visit site, plus all staff are now double vaccinated + booster jab. However, we are happy to obey social distancing with additional precautions if required.
We are open during our normal business hours and are happy to discuss new projects over the phone/email/web services.
We are a small, vibrant company with a number of different skills. From initial discussion, measured survey, design development and planning submission through to detailed Building Control and construction drawings.
We can provide guidance on aspects of the building process; design and drawings, planning and permitted development applications, party wall issues, finding a builder, budget and costings, building regulations etc.
We provide a personal but professional, hands-on approach, considering your brief, budget and site at all stages of work.
We provide clear fixed prices for our work broken down into stages, with the work in each stage clearly explained. Unlike many others, we do not work on a percentage of the final build cost. Instead, we provide a quote with fixed fees at the outset to give you fee cost certainty, as well as a highly competitive quote. We provide a flexible pay-as-you-go service, so you can simply use us for the bits you can’t do or the for the whole project if that suits you better.
We can help with any size home improvement project – kitchen extensions, total house refurbishments, single/double storey extensions, bathroom design, kitchen design, interior design etc.
Delighted to catch-up with our Bradford-on-Avon client to see their wonderful garden room come kitchen!
While this extension just houses the kitchen, the scale of the of the addition was setout to be in keeping with the grandeur of the original house.
The idea of the extension was to create a bright space to enjoy coffee and to be able to take in views of the garden. The client, an avid gardener, has large built-in planters all around the extension and plans a fern collection to help bring the garden up to seated eye level.
The ceiling heights and windows in the new space are spectacular!
We are delighted with @marptree and all their fantastic work to date.
Stay tuned for more images as the flooring and finishes are unveiled!

Recently we have been working on a tricky little project to re-connect a large detached house with its garden.
Sounds simple enough?
Well, here, we will actually be removing lots of floor area to do this, while only adding just a little, perfectly formed extension.
Here, just part of our design package, the 2D drawings exploring 3 different options which all meet the brief although with different forms, plans and layouts.
Plus, our "wildcard option" gives something not at all on the brief, but maybe just too exciting for the clients to resist? We shall see!

A week of sailing aboard the Blue Clipper around the inner Hebrides last week.
The most amazing pause and reset after what has been a very busy few years.
Life of board is at such a different pace, with so much uncertainty (weather and winds) within still such order (meals and cake!). The crew on board work so hard and there is always a great sense of teamwork and comradery.
Did the obligatory climb of the mast, if for no reason but to continue to try to conquer a fear of heights! Hence the last photo.
An absolute pleasure to be at sea on such a beautiful vessel. Great break and reset.
Last week we presented some new design options for a whole house renovation.
Double storey side extension, creating a master suite, home gym, dream kitchen with separate walk-in pantry and utility room as well as much needed extra bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs.
We are planning changes from the front door all the way back, and maximising the space in the existing house to make every m2 count!
Do you need help planning your home renovation or unsure where to start thinking about an extension?
We have ONE slot still available for this summer, get in contact to setup an initial meeting.

A design presentation package for clients in Bathampton.
I thought I would lay it all out (as you can see no table was large enough!).
This is our STANDARD design presentation.
- A3 hand coloured plans (for all three options)
- A3 tracing paper overlays with full annotations and descriptions.
- Digital images of the front and rear of the house with the proposed extensions for all the options.
- Extensive coloured precedent images so you can get really excited about all the details and be fully involved with the discussion of ideas!
What do you think?
Looks like a lot of design ideas to look through and get excited about!
A great starting point?
Again this is all part of our STANDARD design presentation, no extra fees or additional options, all this included as just part of our process.
We offer full 3D modelling and immersive VR too (covid safe) as optional extras.
Do you want to work with us and realise your dream home design? Get in contact and we can get an initial meeting booked!

Some time out at @dunsboroughpark at the weekend with their open garden and tulip festival.
I grew near here and have always been enchanted by the spectacular gatehouse, it was a delight to at long last see the beautiful gardens behind!
The Gothic inspired bridge, the meadow of tulips and tulip displays. A celebration of spring colour!
