Home Extension in Long Benington ✨

One of our latest project completions featuring a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space—complete with a vaulted ceiling. The open plan area creates a beautifully balanced interior that feels both expansive and intimate. Finished with elegant brass detailing and a striking mirrored splashback, this is contemporary living at its best.

Created with modern living in mind, the layout opens straight onto the garden, allowing for a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Our pre-application submission is now live.

The client is considering a replacement dwelling on a sensitive site—so we are taking the proactive step of a pre-app to help identify some of the planning risks at an early stage.

When the stakes are high, early planning engagement can be the smart move.

The Future Homes Standard is set to reshape how new homes in England are designed and built — with a greater focus on energy efficiency, low-carbon heating, and long-term performance.

In our latest blog, we break down what it means for homeowners, self-builders and developers, and why planning ahead matters.

In fact, our award winning eco homes in Nottingham [pictured] were blazing a similar trail back in 2014

Did you know?

New build now make up just 1% to 1.2% of all new homes built in the UK — a huge drop from the 1980s, when around 1 in 6 new homes were bungalows.

Despite strong demand from retirees and “last-time buyers”, developers often favour higher-density, multi-storey housing — making new build bungalows increasingly rare.

At PD Architecture, we’re proud to be bucking the trend. In recent years, we’ve designed multiple bungalows across Nottingham, Leicester, Derby and Lincoln as part of our new build, custom build and self-build projects.

Why We Love Vaulted Ceilings ✨

Vaulted ceilings do more than look stunning — they:
• Open up space and create a sense of volume
• Flood interiors with natural light and improve ventilation
• Add architectural drama and character
• Enhance acoustics and the overall spatial experience
• Boost property value and support sustainable design

At PD Architecture, we use vaulted ceilings to make spaces feel larger, brighter, and truly memorable. We have used this design on new builds and extensions in the past, have a peak into the comments to view some of our as built versions.

Discover all the design benefits in our latest blog: https://www.pd-architecture.co.uk/blog/how-to-vaulted-ceilings/
