I first became aware of Arché when Shoni Installed a stunning bespoke bathroom for us, complete with built-in storage and a beautiful microcement finish.
The attention to detail and thoughtful use of space were outstanding, and it really transformed the room.
Following that, we worked with Shoni again to complete the remodelling and interior design drawings to change the layout of our downstairs living space. Not only did she produce clear, professional plans, but she also provided invaluable self-build guidance, enabling us to install a partition wall ourselves.
What initially felt like an impossible, overwhelming job became straightforward and completely achievable with the right advice and support. Her knowledge, patience, and ability to break down each stage made all the difference. I highly recommend these services to anyone looking for creative, practical design solutions with hands-on guidance to bring their vision to life.

Archè were introduced to my via a workplace procurement for an office redesign. I was so impressed with the creative vision for the space, that I used them again for the conversion of my own stable block into a holiday let. I was very happy with the results, and was guided through the planning process which was a success. I won't hesitate to use for future projects. More...

I worked with Shoni on a large landscaping project and couldn’t be happier with her input. She provided detailed topographic surveys, excavation plans, material and reinforcement plans for a concrete pond, drainage mapping, and quantity surveying.
Every plan was clear, accurate, and made it easy for me to get the job done right.
My client requested several design changes along the way, and Shoni was brilliant—she turned around each revision within 2 days so we could keep the work moving without delays. Her quick responses and attention to detail saved time, kept things on budget, and helped me deliver a high-quality result. I’d happily work with her again.

Why should our clients choose you?
I am UK trained, and have extensive knowledge around our planning laws and building codes. Hiring a freelancer from abroad, who may be cheaper initially, could result in building inspection challenges, planning refusal, or a design lacking the consideration to our vernicular and weather conditions. These are all costly, and often require secondary drawings at best, or reconstruction of built works in order to pass inspection.
I provide draft design ideas prior to final production, all included within my initial price. This prevents additional costs for redrafts.
I have extensive practical experience on site, meaning youre not just dealing with a designer, youre working with a professional who truly understands the building process from concept to delivery, avoiding clashes during construction.
