Site survey notes from a Georgian home in Bristol

Whenever we begin a new architecture project, we always meet with the client first to discuss their design ideas and ambitions. The next step would be to conduct a site survey. Pictured above is the outcome from a site survey of a Georgian house in Bristol, thought to be approximately 250 years old. During a site survey, we take measurements across the entire building and landscape which allows us to model the existing site in 3D. The 3D model is used throughout the entirety of a project and allows us to quickly formulate design proposals which we can share with the client to view in their own time in the comfort of their own home.

All the necessary drawings such as floor plans, elevations, sections, details, are taken from the model which we use for planning applications and building regulation drawings. As a design progresses, we can very quickly compare the existing site to the size of the proposed development which can help with working to budgets and constraints of the site.

Cottage Extension in Corston, Somerset

We've recently begun conceiving ideas for a cottage renovation in Corston, Somerset. Pictured is one of the design proposals. The new owners moved in towards the end of 2021 and have ambitions to make this their perfect home. We are looking to create a prominent entrance to the front of the cottage and an open plan living/dining space to the rear of the property which opens up onto the south facing garden. A newly landscaped terraced area adjacent to the open plan kitchen/diner will accommodate space for entertaining and outdoor activites.
