bespoke homes designed around site, policy and daily life.
We design one-off homes and replacement dwellings where the planning strategy, architectural quality and technical resolution need to work together.
From rural plots to replacement homes, our role is to turn a clear brief into a coherent architectural proposal that can stand up to planning review and be delivered in practice.
Bespoke homes with planning logic.
One consistent LXW process, shaped around the specific approval route, design risk and technical information your project needs.
A successful one-off dwelling is not just a visual idea. It needs to respond to landform, access, neighbour relationships, landscape character and planning policy.
We develop the architectural concept and planning argument together, so the design has a clear reason for its form, scale, material and setting.
Our digital workflow helps clients, planners and consultants understand the proposal through clear drawings, visuals and coordinated information.
How we help

- Rural and edge-of-settlement design
- Landscape-led massing and orientation
- Design and access statements where required
- Technical design and building regulations
- Consultant coordination
a clear route through the work.
Planning context
We review the local plan position, site history, constraints and the likely planning route before developing the architectural approach.
Design narrative
The proposal is shaped around the site, brief and a clear explanation of why the design belongs there.
Application material
We prepare planning drawings, visuals and supporting material to communicate the scheme clearly.
Delivery information
The design is developed into coordinated technical drawings for building regulations, tender or construction as required.
what you can expect.
Deliverables are tailored to the agreed scope, project stage and statutory approvals required. These are the typical information packages for this service.

Delivery
- Building regulations package
- Construction details
- Schedules and specifications
- Consultant coordination
approval routes matter.
We keep the wording here conservative because planning policy, permitted development and building control requirements depend on the property, location and current regulations.
- One-off dwellings are highly site-specific and normally need a strong planning strategy.
- Replacement dwellings can still involve sensitive policy tests around scale, landscape impact and existing lawful use.
- Exceptional design routes in national planning policy require careful evidence and should be assessed case by case.

common questions.
Can you design a contemporary rural home?
Yes, but the design needs to be grounded in the site and planning context. We test the route before pushing the architecture too far.
Do you work on replacement dwellings?
Yes. We can assess the existing building, planning history and replacement strategy before developing design proposals.
