WELCOME TO THE DESIGN BOTHY

Hi! And welcome to The Design Bothy.

Here you will find an Architectural design service who's focus is on the concept stage of your project. We begin at the very beginning, asking questions that are designed to get you thinking about what is truly important to you in your home, so that a thorough evaluation of your design aims and dreams are collected accurately.

The concept stage is the perfect place to create and brainstorm ideas. It's where the foundation of the design of your project is explored and worked out.

Spending time analysing, sketching, and playing around with a variety of internal floor layouts will allow you to begin to get clear on what is most important to your way of living, what the limitations of your home are, including a keen eye on budget and what your homes potential is too.

Completing the concept stage correctly will give you a set of internal floor layouts for your home that will act as the blueprint for all future interior design decisions and exterior architectural considerations.

The vast number of design decisions that you will make during the later technical and construction phases of your project will become less overwhelming. You will have confidence in the process because you have an internal floor plan that accurately reflects your needs. The Design Bothy is also on hand to advise you on all your design decisions throughout your project, if required.

With the majority of the critical design decisions already made, you will have enough time and energy to pick your favourite finishes, fixtures and fittings, without rushing this important phase.

My focus is Concept Architecture, because I believe that correctly designing your internal layout at the very beginning of your project and gaining insight into all the internal design elements of your home, is the most critical element to achieving a home that honours your way of living, a home that brings you joy and a construction process that you can befriend into your comfort zone.

If you would like to work together, I offer both concept design services for new-builds and existing homes requiring a "re-organisation", design advisory services for all elements of your home project from what shower tray to buy, through to one-off stair designs, to kitchen layouts, furniture layouts, interior space planning etc. I work in sketch format, 2D computer drawings and 3D modelling, depending on your project requirements.

Any interior or exterior architectural design element of your home, that you want a second opinion on or feel over-whelmed by, I would love to help.
