Rowett Architecture

After working with you to define your requirements, our team employs a range of tools such as 2D drawings, 3D models and mood board to explore various concepts. Throughout this process, we will work with you to ensure that the designs align with your needs and expectations. We value your feedback and flexibility, allowing us to refine the design until it perfectly suits your vision.

Once you are satisfied with the proposal, we’ll proceed with developing the project for a planning submission, which involves finalising the design and preparing all the required documents.

Here are some of the specific activities that we will undertake during this stage:
