Our Services

Extending your home is one of the most effective ways to gain additional space while remaining in a location you love. KS Architects specialise in residential extensions across Cornwall, delivering carefully considered designs that respond to planning policy, site constraints, and the practical realities of construction.

​

Every extension project begins with a clear understanding of how you want to use your home. We focus on improving natural light, spatial flow, and energy efficiency while ensuring the proposal sits comfortably within its surroundings.

​

Our experience with local planning authorities allows us to develop proposals that are robust, well-reasoned, and more likely to achieve approval.

From early feasibility studies through to planning, technical design, and construction support, we guide you through each stage with clarity and confidence.

If you are considering a house extension in Cornwall, KS Architecture can help you unlock the full potential of your property.

Planning permission is one of the most common concerns for homeowners considering an extension or refurbishment. Requirements vary depending on location, property type, and the scale of development.

​

KS Architecture provide clear, professional planning advice tailored to Cornwall’s local planning policies. We assess whether proposals fall within permitted development or require full planning permission and develop strategies accordingly.

​

By addressing planning considerations early, we reduce risk and avoid unnecessary delays, helping projects move forward smoothly.

Our process is structured, transparent, and client-focused.

1. Initial Consultation & Feasibility

2. Concept Design

​

This staged approach provides clarity at each step and ensures informed decision-making throughout the project.

Refurbishment projects require a detailed understanding of existing buildings and how they can be adapted for modern living. KS Architecture provide architectural services for residential refurbishments and renovations throughout Cornwall, improving comfort, functionality, and long-term performance.

​

Our approach often combines internal reconfiguration with targeted extensions or upgrades, allowing clients to maximise space without unnecessary complexity. We pay particular attention to daylight, circulation, and energy efficiency, ensuring homes are both practical and enjoyable to live in.

​

Whether you are modernising a period property or improving an underperforming home, we provide clear design solutions supported by robust technical detailing.

While it is not a legal requirement to appoint an architect, professional architectural input can significantly improve the outcome of a project.

An architect brings design expertise, planning knowledge, and technical understanding, helping you avoid costly mistakes and achieve a better-quality result.

 

KS Architecture support clients from initial concept through to completion, ensuring proposals are practical, compliant, and tailored to your needs.

Understanding costs early is essential.

KS Architecture provide feasibility advice to help clients assess budget, planning constraints, and technical considerations before committing to a project.

Early-stage design allows you to explore options, test layouts, and make informed decisions, reducing risk and improving value.
