DESIGN OFFICE is an architectural and building design consultancy which aims to enhance your life by improving the building and environment in which you live, work or otherwise interact; by providing a design solution that you had not previously considered.At launch Design Office began working initially in the restaurant / retail sectors. Over ensuing years the client base has developed into private domestic housing, with one-off designs for small multi-unit developments and a specialist knowledge of extensions. Office planning and refurbishment, and light industrial units have also served to increase the project base. Design Office is also able to offer significant experience in altering and extending listed buildings, and carrying out work within conservation areas.All building design is carried out using the latest release of ArchiCAD building design software on powerful Apple Mac computers. ArchiCAD is a specialist 3-dimensional architectural design application, which allows the design of all new buildings and extensions as 3D virtual models to provide maximum realism to client viewing. This way of working also facilitates advanced 3D working to produce photo-realistic views, and virtual building movies both internal and external, should the project require.
