YOUR HOME, YOUR DESIGN

“A Client Led Approach…”

Fundamentally, our ethos to new dwellings is to establish what you require, as everyone lives in different ways.

Building your own home is a unique opportunity to create a property that is entirely tailor made.

Whether it is an open plan layout or more traditional design we work hard to understand your unique requirements and then collaboratively develop a scheme that meets your aspirations considering everything from foundations to finishes along the way.

We work hard to study to local area and discuss creative ways to create inspiring architecture that respects the locality that satisfies planning policy
& building regulations.

CONSIDERING THE DETAILS

“We Love Design AND Construction…”

Our creative team loves working with clients to create exciting and functional developments but our role is not just in design, it is also in ensuring delivery.

We utilise our extensive knowledge of construction techniques, heating, electrics and insulation to determine the best solution for your home.

From Traditional Block Cavities to Timber Frame, ICF (Insulated Concrete Formwork) to SIPS (Structurally Insulated Panels) the most appropriate method is often site specific taking into account exposure, site access and logistics.

We are able to provide unbiased and impartial advice on the pros and cons of the different technologies available to you for the foundations to the roof and everything in-between.

LETS TALK ECO

“Efficient Doesn’t Mean Expensive…”

A & K Architectural Services have achieved highly efficient homes to passive levels, using conventional ‘off the shelf’ building materials that are affordable by nature.

In real terms, this represents cost-effective builds that have low energy consumptions that are affordable and comfortable to live in. We endorse that efficient dwellings can be produced ‘without breaking the bank’.
