Origin Design Studio

read moreThis was a project that any architect would love to have worked on. With the incredible Lincoln Catherdral in the background, our East Bight housing development was positioned on a parcel of land situated in the historical part of Lincoln city centre. The barn at the Old Vicarage in Tealby is part of a Grade II Listed building. The project brief for the barn was to create a habitable space for the owners of the property and create a new premises from which they could run their business. The site was a blank canvas and the developer wanted to create a land mark building within the landscape.

In 2019 we became an RIBA Chartered practice and were a Regional Finalist in the LABC Building Excellence Awards. We specialise, although not exclusively, in residential projects of varying scale including self build, new build, barn conversions, extensions, listed buildings and loft conversions. We are currently expanding our commercial portfolio with office developments, leisure and retail projects and work on heavy and light industry buildings.

Development standards are governed by the building regulations, ensuring buildings are safe to use, accessible to all and energy efficient. For simple projects it is possible to undertake construction under a 'building notice', whereby the client or builder will deal with all aspects of the regulations with Building Control.

We offer the perfect interface between client and contractor to ensure your project is delivered on time and on budget. We manage regular meetings, prepare minutes and offer site supervision to overcome any difficulties that may arise. We can offer a full project management service for your project. Whether this is engaging and appointing consultants during the planning process or appointing and liaising with sub-contractors on your behalf during construction on site.

Whether your project is residential, agricultural, or commercial we can guide your project through the planning process. We can advise if a full Design and Access Statement is required or just a Supporting Statement and if any third party consultants will be required to prepare reports. We believe in early stakeholder investment and liaise directly with the local planning authority from the outset, meeting frequently to discuss the project.

Using a range of software design for Architecture we are able to produce your scheme in both 2D and 3D. Where needed for an application we can also use material textures to provide a representation of the final construction. Engineering Services include Flood Risk Assessments to Support Planning Applications and Structural Designs and Calculations for Building Regulations applications.

In order resolve these factors it is wise to undertake an in depth preliminary investigation. A feasability study provides an examination of what development opportunities can be undertaken and looks at different schemes in order to determine the most appropriate usage and arrangement. We can offer bespoke architectural design services, providing a clear design scheme for your project.

In order to aid the design process we typically work with three dimensional models, from which we can produce rendered images for planning and presentation purposes as well as assisting the sale of a development to prospective buyers. To aid construction it is sometimes necessary to provide drawings showing technical details for on-site contractors. Our detailing is done to the highest of standards to ensure all aspects of construction are carried out correctly.
