Stage 3c. Immersive Virtual Reality Modelling (Additional Option)
Rendered, interactive models are sent across for you to explore on your tablet/smartphone. A headset is provided which can carry your smartphone to enable a fully immersive experience. This is offered as an option in addition to the standard 3D modelling.
This means that you can navigate around the rooms yourself, this also works with virtual reality by moving the device around to give a sense of the space. This can also be used within a VR headset (also provided new for each client household) setup to hold your smartphone and allow you to look around the virtual room. (N.B: only android phones currently allow full headset mode, although iphone still support VR and allow the model to be explored easily, in detail, on your phone).
Quick Start – Using the Kubity Go app
You get best use of the app if you can physically move the device around to get different views of the space, so it is recommended to use your smartphone or a tablet. Find the free Kubity Go app on your phone or tablet’s app store.
Download the app to your device. Open the app. (You don’t need to allow notifications or give the app access to your camera or photos in order to view the architectural model shared with you.) Once you have downloaded the app, go to the email sent to you containing the link to your model.
Here a sample link of a demo model: https://player.kubity.com/p/r9s4Ai to allow you to explore the app beforehand. Click on the URL for the model, and it will take you to the app. Click ‘open in app’, your model will load.
You can share the model with anyone who has the link, making it fun to show and share with friends and family.
Change your view using the 3 dots in the top right-hand corner of the screen to Virtual Reality. Touch the screen to see a menu at the bottom of the page (if you can’t already see it) and select Tour. You can move through the plan by touching the screen and also by clicking the scene at the bottom of the page.
The photoreal image may take a little while to load in each scene, but it’s worth waiting for!
Move your device to see the plan from all sorts of different angles to reveal details you may not have seen in the plans before.

It`s amazing what a thoughtful home renovation can achieve! 🤯
Swipe to see how we helped our clients transform a cluttered, underutilised space into a cosy, functional, and stylish reading nook and library area. This renovation project was all about listening to the homeowner`s needs and making the absolute most of the available space, turning a neglected corner into a bright, practical, enjoyable area of the family home. This is what happens when you combine clever architectural design with a client who trusts the process.
As a local Bath architect, I love these types of home-improvement projects! I specialise in clever home design that truly reflects the way you live.

Back on Site and Charmed by a Period Home!
On my first site survey since breaking my collarbone in August, I was utterly charmed by the beautiful period features of this Bath home. It’s a wonderful example of how homeowners can retain original character while planning for a contemporary future.
I especially loved the unique hallway window, the perfectly proportioned double bay window, and the original front door with its stained glass. We won`t be changing these features. Instead, the focus of our home extension will be on creating a modern rear addition that provides all the space and facilities needed for today`s lifestyle.
Our goal is to create an extension that beautifully complements the existing house, giving the clients their dream home without losing any of its original charm. As a residential architect, I understand the importance of making the most of a home`s heritage while delivering a fantastic modern space.

Sometimes, the most beautiful spaces are hiding in plain sight. This home renovation shows how you can completely transform a space without needing a huge extension.
By simply re-working the layout—taking down internal walls, moving a door, and creating larger windows—we were able to create a bright and inviting environment perfect for modern family life. The new open plan kitchen and beautiful herringbone flooring connect the spaces and add real value to the home.
If you could transform one room in your home, which would it be?

This is not a renovation I’d planned for! This photo shows my break and then the new `fixings` now holding my collarbone together. August was definitely a month of unexpected challenges and a lot of rest.
It`s been a real challenge not having full use of my dominant arm—being an architect with only one hand is not recommended!
The good news is that I`m now starting to feel much better, and it`s taught me a lot about the kindness of those around me. Thank you so much to my amazing neighbours, my partner and my friends for their help and care packages, and to my lovely clients who sent thoughtful get well soon cards.
It`s a reminder that even when things don`t go to plan, a great support network makes all the difference. I`m so grateful for everyone`s patience and am looking forward to getting back to a `full-service` capacity shortly!
For those curious; I did it exercising at home! And they say exercise is meant to be "good for you"! 😅

Every residential architecture project at Lacey Architecture kicks off with a dedicated day to truly understand you and your home. I carry out a measured survey and have a really thorough discussion of your brief. It`s key for me to know what your critical items are, then your `would like to have`s, and finally, your `in a perfect world, I would`s.
This deep dive helps me understand your priorities and ensures I`m perfectly aligned with your values. It means I can design proposals (multiple options, usually!) that all genuinely meet your brief, helping you make the most of your home. As an approachable architect, I really listen!
Starting a new home renovation & extension project, I recently enjoyed the purr-fect company of this lovely chap! He was a very friendly boy, but once he saw I wasn`t constantly offering pets or treats, he was perfectly content to cuddle up in his veg basket bed. (And don`t worry, a dedicated cat bed with space for a scratch post is in the brief – never fear!)
Looking forward to making a start on this home extension project in Bath! Already thinking about sketch options and how I can most thoughtfully meet the brief and create truly inspiring spaces for this family home.
