House Extensions & Architectural Design in Southgate

Marlin Design provides house extension design, architectural drawings and planning support for homeowners in Southgate. From early feasibility through to planning and Building Regulations information, we help turn residential ideas into clear, buildable design proposals.

HOUSE EXTENSION DESIGN

Creating more space in your Southgate home

House extensions are the main focus of our residential design work. We can help with single-storey, double-storey, rear, side and wraparound extensions, as well as kitchen extensions, open-plan living spaces, contemporary additions and sensitive extensions to period properties.

Our involvement can begin with the initial idea and feasibility stage, then progress through site survey, scheme design, architectural drawings, planning applications and Building Regulations information as required.

Extension projects we can assist with

  • Single and double-storey extensions
  • Rear and side extensions
  • Wraparound extensions

LOCAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Planning a residential project in Southgate

Homeowners in Southgate often look to improve existing properties rather than move. Rear, side and loft extensions, internal reconfiguration and garage conversions can all create valuable additional space when the design responds properly to the house and its plot.

Where planning permission is required, Marlin Design can prepare architectural drawings and supporting design information for the application. We can also consider whether conservation, listed-building or other site-specific constraints require additional attention.

Supporting your project

Our work can include site surveys, feasibility studies, scheme design, planning drawings, Building Regulations information, specifications and coordination with structural engineering requirements where appropriate.
