Architectural Design
The success of an architectural design project lies in working with a design company with buckets of expertise, experience and credibility who can effortlessly balance space, design and cost, with a core focus on your design goals. Here at ModArc, we pride ourselves on putting you - the client - first.
The most successful projects lay solid foundations first. Our first meeting will help us get to grips with with the parameters and goals of your architectural design project, so we can formulate the most sensible and effective project plan moving forwards. Following this meeting with a property or site visit gives us hands-on understanding of the scope and scale of the project, and any advantages and pitfalls that may arise.
We always try to fix - or plan for - issues in advance of actual building works to minimise potential setbacks and ensure a smooth and efficient building programme.
No two design projects are the same. Each and every one of our architectural designs are tailored to each individual project. Equally, the end goal of every project is unique. Establishing the main cornerstone of the project, be it budget, size, sign or a combination of the three, will be taken into account in crafting successful and targeted conceptual plans.
"Jim has developed a distinctive style, turning mid-20th Century properties into contemporary family homes or creating modern new dwellings."
Since branching out on his own, Jim has developed a distinctive style, turning mid-20th Century properties into contemporary family homes and creating modern new dwellings in line with client specifications and long-term goals.
Jim is also well versed in the unique set of landscape and site problems that Lyme Regis and the surrounding area - while beautiful - can sometimes pose. His architecture design projects have been successful in a multitude of problematic environments, from tight (or non existent) vehicular access, flood risk areas and sensitive sites in conservation areas. If you're unsure about the landscape around your project, get in touch for an assessment.
Recent projects encompass a variety of property and job types, including:
- porch extension
- kitchen extensions
- new dwellings
- designs for a new school
- a Mill conversion into 9 dwellings
Jim has also carried out master planning for 147 houses to create serviced plots for self build projects and affordable housing schemes.
Local connections are key, and Jim has built up a variety of trades, allowing him to recommend talented, trusted and reliable contractors for all manner of projects. At ModArc, we ensure that contractors buy into our vision to achieve the very best in line with client expectations.
Ultimately, we believe in value for money on any architectural design project, and will ensure that our client is getting exactly that.
We are blessed in the South-West of England with fantastic views of all natures from Coastal to Countryside and some very pleasant views over the roof tops, we will always find ways to maximise these views and believe in very light and airy spaces.
