| DESIGN REFINED  + 3D MODELLING |

 

When the client approached The Design Bothy, both the Planning Permission + Building Warrant approval had been gained.

 

The designers role at this point was to focus on refining the detail + help the homeowner build confidence in the design. This architecture and design service was used for both the interior + exterior. Sketches, 2D drawings, 3D visualisations, client design meetings off site and on site were all provided, depending on the clients requirements for each element. 

 

The exterior design options were explored and advice was offered for the colour of the external render finish, the size and location of the rooflights, how the exterior timber cladding could best integrate with the render, what colour options for the windows / doors / cladding / render could offer a joined up exterior, the resizing of the windows, the design of the feature arch window, external paving options, chimney pots, balcony railings + roof eaves detailing were all explored and refined.   

​

The interior benefited from a refining of the 3 ensuite bathroom layouts including advising on sanitary ware, tiling, ironmongery, + furniture.

 

The kitchen layout was refined to maximise the function + storage options of the cabinets and ensure all appliances would fit properly in an easy to use way. It was meticulously designed to provide the exact cooking and dining experience required by the client, down to the sizing of the everhot.

 

The main lighting layout + light fitting options were explored + chosen. Exposed beam configuration was brainstormed, the feature arch window was refined + ordered to ensure perfect proportions, along with the design of the full height windows to match astragals in Georgian style. Flooring options were explored and chosen. The fitted wardrobes were designed and sized. The feature curved stair was designed + ordered.

 

Many other elements such as the utility / boot room, pantry, bookshelves, socket + radiator positions etc benefited from a design brainstorming session on site and various sketches + 2D drawings produced so that the joiners could build it exactly as required. 

 

Much of the design refining was supported by 3D visualisations both of the exterior + interior.
