Architects specialise in the design of buildings and have skills they can use to investigate the design options and to present these to you so that you can make an informed choice about what you will build.
Architects are obliged to comply with a Code of Conduct that places good quality design at the forefront of our work.

Having gained experience from working on numerous similar buildings, extensions and loft conversions, we at G.A.Architects are fluent in finding the most suitable design for your requirements. It is not always obvious which design to proceed with, so we have a palette of tools to investigate the options and present these to you. From the outset, our design work is informed by our experience and knowledge of the technical and construction aspects so that the design complies with building regulations and is realistic.

Realistic design
At G.A.Architects we are aware of the contextual constraints on the design which inevitably help us to refine the design into an agreed scheme.
Drawings and models
2D and 3D Drawings, as well as physical models, are important in helping us to think about the design options and to present the options to our clients. Ultimately, we will agree on a scheme with our clients and issue it to the relevant statutory bodies for approval.

Contextual constraints
The context of a project is what makes it unique. As well as the site context, the design is guided by the project context, i.e your requirements, your budget and buildability.
Buildability
The site’s scale, topographic and legislative particularities will feed into the scheme’s design. The legislative opportunities are written within Planning and Building regulations law. At G.A.Architects, we are familiar with dealing with Town Planners and Building Control Authorities, and at all times, we remain dedicated to achieving high-quality designed schemes that improve our clients’ lives.
It was very helpful to talk through the options with the client and helped them to visualise the space.
