Stage 4b. Detailed Design & Technical/Construction Drawings
In tandem with Stage 4a, construction details are prepared; these illustrate how important or non-standard details are to be built.
These drawings are concerned with aesthetic, finishing and unusual details such as the roof edges, box gutters, timber cladding, green roofs, large dormers, timber structures, special window details and thresholds.
This also includes other additional drawings – window and doors schedule, indicative electrical layout, kitchen layout and any other drawings needed to smooth work on site.
If the design includes any elements that are other than absolutely standard (or the contractor is unfamiliar with the materials or technique), these additional drawings help the contractor build on site easily and ensure a higher level of quality and crisper finish.
Included in Stage 4b:
- Architectural drawings to illustrate key details where further information may be needed – eaves/ridges/abutments.
- Where applicable: Kitchen Plan, Indicative Electrical Layout, Window and Door Schedule.

Geeked out at the Jackfield Tile Museum! 🤓 Fascinating to learn about the history of tile making and admire the stunning collection.
Those deep hues from Craven Dunhill are just wonderful!
Can`t wait to incorporate some of their beautiful tiles into a future period property renovation. 🏠✨

Here are some more images of our town house extension and reconfiguration.
In addition to the complex internal changes, we used timber cladding on the exterior, providing a fabulous yet harmonious contrast to the original brick. Plus, a wildflower green roof is a fantastic addition, especially in an urban setting. It boosts biodiversity and offers a lovely view from the kitchen window and dining table.
With the new patio and freshly landscaped garden, this feels like a garden paradise where the architecture seamlessly blends with family life.
Quiet, well-designed extensions that enable and support friction-free family life—perfect!

A deceptively simple-looking rear extension belies the complex reconfiguration needed for this four-story home in Weston.
We created a more spacious kitchen-dining area, added a feature shower room, and reconfigured the stairs to create a second living room. This adapted a much-loved family home to accommodate growing children for the next 10-20 years.
Working with fantastic clients, we achieved a wonderful result. We love the use of glulam and timber posts (instead of carbon-intensive steel) to give the stylish house a modern, homely feel.

Helping you create the perfect home. 🏡
These clients had a lovely new house, but their kitchen was too small for their entertaining needs.
Initially, they thought they needed a conservatory style extension (to replace the existing one). However, after discussing their needs and a thorough survey, we explored other options. I suggested reconfiguring the existing space, which could save money and allow for more internal transformation.
With a few design iterations, we found a solution that didn`t require building additional space. This meant a faster project, a smaller carbon footprint, and reduced costs!
It highlights the importance of a clear client brief, creative thinking, and an open approach to new ideas.
I am thrilled to have helped these fantastic clients create their dream kitchen and entertaining space.

Watch this space! Our Shrewsbury new build is taking shape. The industrial-style garage doors are in place (perfect for that classic Land Rover),
and we`ve added stunning curved rooflights over the kitchen area. All the guttering and rainwater goods are in too. Can`t wait to share more updates soon!
