Services

Initial Consultation

Every successful project begins with a clear understanding of your property, your goals, and the opportunities available. Our initial design consultation is tailored to provide practical guidance and give you the confidence to move forward with your project.


During the visit, one of our designers will meet you at your property to discuss your ideas, assess the existing building, and identify any planning or technical considerations that may influence the design.


Following the consultation, you'll have a clear understanding of the next steps and the architectural services required to bring your project to life.

Measured Survey

Every successful project begins with accurate information.


Our measured surveys are carried out with the latest in LIDAR technology, which allow us to prepare precision plans of your exisiting property ensuring every detail is captured.


Our surveys are suitable for:


Home extensions

  • Loft conversions
  • Renovations
  • Commercial refurbishments
  • Planning applications
  • Building Regulations
  • As-built documentation

Accurate survey information helps reduce design risk, minimise site queries and provides 

confidence throughout the project.

Design

Good design is about creating homes that work better for the people who live in them.


We specialise in designing:


  • Single-storey extensions
  • Double-storey extensions
  • Loft conversions
  • Internal remodelling
  • New build houses
  • Garage conversions

Every proposal is carefully considered to maximise natural light, improve circulation and create practical living spaces while respecting planning policy, surrounding context and your 

Planning

Obtaining planning permission can often seem complicated, but our experience allows us to guide clients confidently through the process.


We prepare professionally presented planning drawings, Design & Access Statements where 

required and liaise with Local Planning Authorities to achieve successful outcomes.


Our experience includes:


  • Householder Applications
  • Full Planning Applications
  • Lawful Development Certificates
  • Prior Approval Applications
  • Listed Building Consent
  • Advertisement Consent

Our aim is to provide honest advice from the outset so clients understand what is achievable before investing further.

Building Regulations

Once planning approval has been secured, we develop comprehensive technical drawings for Building Regulations approval.


Our Building Regulations packages are carefully coordinated to provide contractors and Building Control with the information needed for construction.


Typical information includes:

  • Construction details
  • Structural coordination
  • Thermal performance
  • Fire safety compliance
  • Drainage layouts
  • Specifications
  • Junction details
  • Sections and technical notes

By avoiding technical issues early, we help minimise delays during construction and create a smoother building process.

At Como Associates, we strive on our ability to provide practical architectural services focused on accurate measured surveys, thoughtful residential design and clear technical documentation. Whether you're extending your home, converting a loft or developing a new property. Our highly trained design team will guide your project from the initial measured survey through planning approval and Building Regulations to ensure every aspect of your vision is brought to life.

Como Architecture has a strong track record in residential projects, exemplified by the transformation of this modest bungalow. The property received a full first-floor addition and a right-hand side extension, including a garage and utility room, evolving from a two-bedroom single-storey home into a spacious residence suitable for a large family. The completed home now features five bedrooms and a newly formed driveway, creating a striking visual impact both internally and externally. The first-floor extension was constructed using a timber frame, optimising sustainability and accelerating the construction timeline. Como Associates oversaw the project from initial property assessment through design and full completion of building works, ensuring every aspect met the highest standards. Beyond design and structure, this significant redevelopment has added substantial value to the property and enhanced the prestige of the surrounding neighbourhood, earning praise from local residents. -------------------------- #Construction #HomeDesign #BournemouthHomes #PooleHomes #ChristchurchHomes

✨ Bringing character into every detail… ?

Warm oak doors and herringbone flooring introduce natural texture throughout, while the exposed brick fireplace, timber mantel and traditional wood-burning stove create a welcoming focal point. ?? In the bathroom, patterned floor tiles and crisp white finishes are paired with contemporary black detailing, creating a bold contrast that still feels sympathetic to the home’s character. ? From the flowing staircase to the carefully selected materials and finishes, every element brings together traditional warmth and contemporary simplicity—creating a home that feels both timeless and comfortable. ❤️ -------------------- #BournemouthHomes #PooleHomes #ChristchurchHomes #InteriorDesign #Construction

✨ Bringing history back to life... ? Set within a Grade II listed site, we had the pleasure of redeveloping this historic ancillary dairy building, which was originally attached to the neighbouring farm property. ?? Sadly, the original building was demolished in 1990, but our brief was to create a new dwelling that respectfully reimagined the character, proportions and footprint of the original structure. ?? The result is a sensitive blend of heritage and contemporary living, carefully designed to sit within its historic setting while creating a beautiful, functional home for modern life. A project that celebrates the past, embraces the present, and gives this historic footprint a new lease of life. ❤️? ---------------------------- #BournemouthHomes #PooleHomes #ChristchurchHomes #Construction #Listed
