How it works

Tell us your design dilemma

Share the design decision you are stuck on. This might be an early layout question or a later-stage choice such as finishes, lighting, joinery or tiling.

You may be comparing options, questioning a proposed change, or sensing that something does not feel quite right.

Upload any photos, sketches, notes or product links that help explain the context. Clear information leads to clearer advice.

We apply experienced design judgement

We review your submission and focus purely on the decision in front of you.

Drawing on our experience in residential architecture, interiors and high-performance homes, we assess proportion, light, layout, materials and practical implications where relevant. This is not design development or technical work. It is professional judgement, applied to help you choose well.

You move forward with clarity

You receive a clear recommendation, supported by straightforward reasoning.

We explain what works, why it works, and what to be mindful of next, so you can move forward with confidence rather than second-guessing your choices.

Depending on the level selected, this is provided as a written response or a live online discussion followed by a short summary.

What to send

Please include:

  • A brief description of the decision

  • Photos of the space or site

  • Sketches or layout notes, if available

  • Product links or reference images where relevant

Professional drawings are not required.

Levels of input

This is advisory design judgement, offered at three levels of depth.

  • Simple: A concise response to a single, clearly defined design question.

  • Considered: A more detailed review of several related decisions, typically covering layout, light, materials and practical considerations.

  • Comprehensive: A wider discussion of your options, including alternative approaches where helpful. Delivered via a live online meeting and followed by a short written summary.

Scope

This service supports design decisions at any stage of a project, from early layout thinking through to detailed finish choices.

It is advisory only. We do not produce drawings, surveys, planning submissions, technical details or construction information. If your situation would benefit from full architectural input, we will let you know.
