At Open Practice Architecture, we offer focused design consultancy sessions to help you explore ideas and make key decisions before committing to a project.

Whether you are considering alterations to your home, a new build or a change of use, not every project requires a full architectural service. In these cases, a Design Consultancy offers a clear, flexible alternative, helping you to move forward with confidence and clarity.

We can help answer questions such as:

  • Do I need to extend?

  • Are there simpler changes that could significantly improve the space, with less financial outlay than a full redesign?

  • My current space or layout is not working, what are my options?

  • Could I obtain planning permission?

  • What might the project cost, and where should I start?

If you have a project you would like to discuss, we would love to hear from you.

FULL-DAY DESIGN CONSULTATION
