Conversion architects turning underused spaces into bright, functional living areas.
Whether it’s accommodating a growing family, creating a home office, or a gym, space constraints often limits our lifestyle aspirations.
With our expertise in space optimisation and creative architectural design solutions, we tailor every aspect of your conversion to suit your specific needs, tastes and aspirations.
By collaborating with GRK, not only will you ensure the realisation of your vision but add to the value and longevity of your home, transforming it into a sanctuary of beauty, functionality, and inspiration.
What type of conversion are you looking for?
Our client-centred approach ensures that your vision is at the forefront of the design process.
With GRK, you’re not just hiring an architect; you’re collaborating with a team dedicated to bringing your unique vision to life.
We are passionate about creating spaces that inspire delight and enrich the lives of those who inhabit them.
So, whether you’re dreaming of a perfect place to create lasting memories, a cosy retreat, or anything in between, let us be your partner in turning your architectural dreams into reality.
We're planning and regulation experts
Converting a space isn’t just about the physical transformation; it’s about breathing new life into every corner and crevice.
However, the success of such projects often hinges on understanding and navigating the maze of planning permissions and regulations, including the notable Class Q for agricultural building conversions.
Our team not only excels in architectural design but also specialises in navigating planning permissions, ensuring your project complies with all local regulations.
If your project requires a Permitted Development Certificate or full planning permission, we’re here to guide you through every stage.
We handle every aspect of your project with meticulous attention to detail.
Beyond aesthetics, we navigate complex planning regulations, ensuring your project meets all legal requirements while managing every detail of the process with precision and finesse.
Our goal is to provide a hassle-free experience, turning the complexity of building into a seamless journey. We treat every client like they are our only client, and we thrive on seeing our clients realising their dream home.
