Project Overview: We are seeking an experienced exterior designer, architectural visualiser, or design-focused architect to help us reimagine and improve the external appearance of our home following a recently approved extension. Although planning permission has been granted, we are not satisfied with the current external design, which feels like a basic “box” added onto the existing structure. We want to achieve a more cohesive and attractive overall appearance.
Why We’re Looking for Help: Our current architect has taken us through the planning phase but has not provided the level of exterior design vision we need. We’re now looking for someone with strong design sensibility who can help us enhance the final look of the home before we proceed to construction.
Scope of Work Required: We are looking for support in the following areas:
Review of the existing approved plans and elevations
Design recommendations to enhance the external appearance (materials, finishes, proportions, detailing, etc.)
2–3 visual concept options showing how the house could look (renders or 3D visuals preferred)
Input on how to blend the extension with the existing home for a more cohesive and appealing design
Suggestions on how to achieve a contemporary, attractive, and well-integrated exterior look
Contextual information (neighbouring properties, style influences we like, etc.)
Our Goals:
A final design that feels intentional and visually appealing
Better integration between the new extension and existing house
Guidance on materials and finishes that will elevate the look
Deliverables Expected:
Visual concept options (images/renders/3D)
Design notes or rationale for materials and layout choices
Possibly updated drawings or reference visuals for a builder to follow
Timeline: We would ideally like to start work on this as soon as possible, and would appreciate knowing your availability for an initial consultation and estimated timeframe for delivering the visual concepts.
Budget: We are open to quotes based on your standard rates, but would appreciate a breakdown of costs where possible (e.g., initial consultation, visualisation work, revisions).
Please include in your response:
Examples of similar projects or portfolio links
A brief outline of your approach and proposed process
Quote for the above scope of work
Availability for a quick introductory call or meeting
We look forward to hearing from you and finding the right collaborator to help us bring our project to life visually.
