We're proud of all our work, but have picked out a selection of a few completed projects to illustrate the scope and standard of our architectural design expertise here at Kennet Design. Take a look at the case studies featured below, which range from a timber-clad garden room/office designed for a client in Pewsey, Wiltshire, to a beautiful Georgian-style new build home in Marlborough.
The biggest and most worthwhile home improvement project you can embark on is to add an extension - or even more than one! Extending your home not only gives you more space to enjoy, but it also adds value and appeal to your property. It's no wonder that the slogan "improve, don't move" has taken off in a big way.
When you are considering an extension, the best way forward is probably to investigate the possibility of a loft conversion. Not only is this the most cost effective way of expanding your living space and add value to your property, but it will also obviate having to lose outside space for the building of a new extension.
Drawing up building plans is exciting as you imagine the new build to come. Everything that is constructed, however, is subject to planning permission from your local planning authority (LPA). If you don't have the right permission in place, you risk being ordered to demolish any building work and being fined - or facing a long battle with the authorities if you decide to appeal.

Not sure where to start, the moment we meet Carl we felt comfortable working with him. The amount of effort he went to in gaining planning permission for our property and the support and guidance they gave during this phase and also after which helped seal the sale of the property.

Carl Drury took us from concept through to the start of tendering for a builder for our terraced house refurbishment and extension. This included gaining planning approval and building control sign off on his design for our works. Carl was exemplary in how he conducted himself through out this process and above all else was extremely patient with our many changes in the design and what we were needing from the drawings. For complete novices such as us, he was very clear in his explanations and deciphered the 'builder' speak when we got initial estimates from our builders. Carl proved well his adaptability

Carl Drury (Kennet Design) has played a crucial part in bringing our listed cottage into the 21st century . The oak-framed garden room at the centre of this work adds light and space, completing and enhancing the garage to kitchen conversion delivered at the same time. The project included extensive refurbishing of older parts of the cottage and essential structural repairs. All of this required listed building consent and considerable negotiation with relevant authorities, on our behalf. Carl was adaptable and resourceful, involving structural engineers and historic consultants when required.

Carl Drury of Kennet Design is not only a consummate professional but also a pleasure to work with. We had met a couple of other architects before finding Kennet Design, but neither had Carl’s genuine enthusiasm for working on even relatively small projects like ours. Kennet Design has a reassuringly large portfolio of extensions so Carl immediately understood our needs and budget as a growing family and how to get the best from our Victorian terrace. The whole process was very clearly laid out from the start and Carl talked us through the various options. When we changed our minds about a couple
