Simply cant praise these guys enough, from the first meeting with Greg he realized our requirements exactly ,took on board all of our ideas and needs and produced a stunning visualization of what our loft conversion will become.
The quality of the drawings were commented on by several tradespersons on the level of detail the guys had put into the plans
We couldn't have wished for a more professional and efficient service that was given to us
Highly recommend for anyone in need of a quality Architects service
Many thanks to you both

Q&As

The best thing about working in the private domestic sector is the variety - every job and every client is different from the last - so every project we do is new and exciting every time.

Architecture is what we have both done since we enrolled on the undergraduate course at Liverpool School of Architecture in 2008 where we first crossed paths. Twelve years later we enjoy doing what we do more than ever before, architecture is not just a career but a way of thinking and looking at the world around us, always thinking 'how could we do that better?' Since 2014 we have both worked for separate practices in the North-West, working closely on projects from residential house extensions and new build homes, to railway station refurbishments and airport infrastructure. With a combined experience of over ten years, starting a practice based on a shared set of values and a passion for great design has long been something we have discussed doing. SO Architects is a culmination of this experience and a natural step for us both to take. We want to select the projects that we work on and bring new ideas to the table on every project, because every job is unique and interesting in its own way.

We know that it is very normal for a client not to always have a clear vision of exactly what it is that they want, but that is where we come in. Our approach to every project is highly responsive and tailored to each and every client's needs. We will help you to realise your vision, forming a solid brief and concept, before guiding you as far as you need through the rest of the process - whether it is applying for planning, navigating building regulations or providing a full project management service through to handover and completion, we will be with you every step of the way.

Services

We can measure your existing house and produce 2d drawings and 3d models to assist in the design and development of your project.

As part of our service we develop several design options so you can mix and match features you want while keeping a control on the project scale and your budget. We will work with you to develop this into your final design.

We can submit and manage the planning application process on your behalf and offer advice on the planning considerations for extending your home including options for Permitted Development.

Following a planning approval / confirmation of your final design, we can help prepare building regulations drawings and specifications for a 'Full plans' application to building control. We can procure quotes for structural engineers and other consultants on your behalf where required.
