With our fresh perspective, we’ll help you see your space in a new light and create a home that elevates your everyday experience. Ready to unlock the full potential of your space?
A Holistic Approach
We don’t just stop at blueprints and floor plans; our vision is about creating spaces that truly resonate with the people who inhabit them. Think of it this way: a well-designed home is like your favourite pair of sweatpants — cosy, familiar, and something you always want to come back to! We focus on design that makes sense, guided by the principles of design psychology, ensuring your home isn’t just a place to live, but a sanctuary that brings joy and comfort every day.
Our Promise
Simple, Elegant Solutions
A home is more than just a place to live; it should be unique, tailored to your personality, playful, and undoubtedly modern. We see our role as uncovering the deep, genuine needs and desires of the human experience, paying close attention to how people respond to their environment. By designing spaces free from discomfort and irritation, we ensure a harmonious living or working experience.
OUR APPROACH
-
At SAXON Architects, our fees vary depending on the project's complexity and scope. We can't provide a fixed price until we've seen the site and had a detailed chat about the project. However, we usually offer a few different pricing options:
- Fixed Fee: For some projects, we can agree on a set fee based on the estimated work involved.
- Percentage of Construction Costs: This is a popular option where our fee is a percentage of the total construction costs.
We’ll go over these options during the initial consultation to figure out what works best for you.
-
In the second stage of the architectural process, we focus on turning your vision into tangible design concepts. This begins with a detailed understanding of your ideas, goals, and the unique needs of your space. We’ll then develop preliminary designs that reflect your vision, ensuring they align with the functional and aesthetic goals of the project.
Together, we will review and refine these initial design concepts, incorporating your feedback to make sure everything feels just right. This stage typically includes a site survey and the development of an initial design proposal to guide the next steps in the renovation process.
-
In the third stage, we dive into the technical details of your project. This involves creating a comprehensive set of technical drawings and detailed specifications that serve as the blueprint for construction. These plans ensure accuracy, functionality, and compliance with building regulations.
At this stage, we also handle all necessary applications and approvals from local authorities, including securing planning permission for the design. Our team manages the entire approval process, ensuring everything is in place before construction begins, so you can focus on bringing your vision to life without the hassle of navigating complex regulations.
-
Once planning approval is secured, we move on to developing the final, detailed plans and specifications required for the construction phase. This stage focuses on creating highly detailed technical drawings that guide every aspect of the build, ensuring precision and adherence to both the approved design and regulations.
These documents will include structural details, materials, and construction methods, providing a comprehensive roadmap for contractors to follow. By the end of this stage, all technical aspects are fully resolved, ensuring the project is ready for a smooth transition to the construction phase.
-
We’ll conduct a final inspection, making sure everything is up to par and meets your satisfaction. If there’s anything off, we'll fix it faster than you can say "architectural masterpiece!"
