Residential & Commercial Architectural Design Services
At Forty8 Design, we provide architectural design services for homeowners, developers and commercial clients across Cheshire and the UK.
From home extensions and renovations to new-build homes and specialist commercial developments, we combine creative design thinking with practical technical expertise to deliver spaces that are functional, well considered and built around the needs of each client.
We support projects from initial concepts through planning applications and technical drawings, offering a clear, collaborative and professional approach throughout every stage of the process.
Residential Architectural Services
Home Extensions
A well-designed extension can completely transform the way you live within your home. Whether you are creating a larger kitchen space, improving layout and flow, or adding room for a growing family, we design extensions that feel naturally connected to the existing property while enhancing both practicality and value.
Our extension services include:
Single/Double-storey extensions | Rear & side extensions | Open-plan living spaces | Kitchen extensions | Contemporary extension design
Home Renovations & Remodels
Modern living often demands more from existing homes. We work with homeowners to reimagine outdated layouts, improve functionality and create spaces that better suit contemporary lifestyles.
From full internal remodels to property refurbishments and reconfigurations, we focus on creating practical, balanced spaces that maximise natural light, flow and usability.
New Build Homes
We provide bespoke architectural design for individually designed homes, carefully tailored to both the site and the client’s vision.
Every new-build project is developed with close attention to layout, proportion, materials and long-term functionality, helping create homes that feel timeless, practical and unique.
Planning & Technical Services
Planning Applications
Navigating the planning process can often feel complex and time-consuming. We prepare detailed planning drawings and manage submissions on behalf of our clients, helping simplify the process while maximising the potential for approval.
Our experience across a wide range of residential and commercial projects allows us to provide practical guidance throughout every stage of the planning process.
Building Regulations Drawings
Alongside concept and planning design, we produce detailed technical drawing packages prepared in line with current building regulations requirements.
These drawings help ensure projects progress smoothly into construction, providing builders and contractors with clear, accurate information for delivery on site.
Architectural Design Consultancy
We offer professional architectural advice and consultancy across a range of residential and commercial developments.
Whether clients require early-stage feasibility guidance, design input, planning advice or technical support, we provide clear and practical expertise tailored to the individual requirements of each project.
Commercial Architectural Services
Commercial & Specialist Projects
Alongside residential architecture, Forty8 Design continues to deliver selected commercial, supported living and specialist developments across the UK.
Our experience includes projects within leisure, industrial, care and mixed-use sectors, bringing commercial-level technical understanding and project delivery expertise to every scheme we undertake.
We approach every commercial project with the same attention to detail, collaborative mindset and commitment to delivering high-quality architectural solutions.
