Architectural design
At JCE, we offer comprehensive architectural services that seamlessly integrate creative design with strategic planning expertise. Led by our experienced architect, Szandi, and supported by our in-house planner, Jack, we ensure that every proposed design meets planning policy requirements and maximizes the chances of approval.
From smaller residential extensions to larger commercial developments, we combine creativity with attention to detail to fulfil our clients' vision while complying with local planning policies. We are passionate about creating architecture that not only enhances the built environment but also enriches the lives of those who inhabit it.
We guide projects from the initial design phase through to creating detailed plans for Building Control approval. The diagram below illustrates the different design stages that we cover:
We believe strongly in the principles that guide our design process:
Style is not prescriptive
We approach each project with an open mind, believing that the finest design arises from a dynamic collaboration process with the client.
Environment harmony
We believe in allowing your site to inspire its architecture, unleashing the potential of your property and creating a development that harmonises with its surroundings.
Emphasis on Collaboration
We embrace the exchange of ideas and collaboration between our clients and other consultants to achieve something special. Our process emphasizes listening and open communication to ensure that objectives are clearly defined and our clients' vision is realized.
Technical expertise allows for creativity
Creativity fuels our design process, but our technical expertise brings our ideas to life. With years of education and experience behind us, we approach each project with a deep understanding of all the complexities involved
Heritage
Preserving heritage is a cornerstone of our architectural practice, and we work closely with heritage consultants to navigate the complexities of designing within historic contexts, particularly on Listed Buildings. By carefully considering conservation principles and innovative design solutions, we strive to balance preserving heritage assets and meeting contemporary needs.
Visualisation and 3D Modelling
Communication is key to the success of any architectural project. Through advanced visualization techniques and 3D Modelling, we provide our clients with a clear understanding of our design proposals, enabling informed decision-making and fostering a collaborative design process.
