Planning a major building project in 2026?


Spring is a natural time to reflect, refresh, and renew.


At Light House Studio , we design with intention and clarity – creating spaces where ideas can grow into something real. Just as spring brings renewal, our procress is about shaping early concepts into thoughtful, well-resolved design.


Spring reminds us that renewal matters – in our homes, our environments, and the way we think about space. Here’s to fresh perspectives and inspired design.


We currently have capacity for two new clients to begin their design journey in July.


If you’re planning a project in 2026 and need end-to-end architectural support — from first sketch to finished build — we’d love to hear from you.

✨ Testimonial Tuesday | Bishopstoke Project ✨

We’re so happy to share a lovely review from our recently completed Bishopstoke project!


From the first ideas through to the finished build, we worked closely with our clients to create a contemporary ground floor rear extension that they absolutely love - and we’re really proud of the result too.


Here’s how we supported them along the way:
• Getting a clear brief in place
• Exploring a range of design ideas
• Taking care of planning
• Producing detailed technical drawings and packages
• Helping compare builder quotes for confident decisions
• Supporting with Building Control approvals
• Visiting site during construction to keep everything on track


The result?
✔ A beautiful, contemporary extension
✔ A smooth journey through planning and approvals
✔ Clear costs and confident choices
✔ A finished build that matches the design perfectly

From Constrained to Connected — A full ground floor transformation in Basingstoke✨



This project reimagines how the home works day-to-day, combining a side extension, garage conversion, and full internal reconfiguration to unlock space and flow.


The result?
✔️ A light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and relaxation
✔️ Vaulted ceilings + rooflights to maximise volume and daylight
✔️ Strong indoor–outdoor connection to the garden
✔️ Practical additions including a utility and shower room

Material choices—dark crittall-style glazing and red-facing brick—were carefully selected to complement the existing character while giving the extension a confident, contemporary edge.

Light House Studio developed multiple concept options before refining the final scheme and supported the client with early contractor pricing to inform their budget strategy.

With a way forward, our clients now have the flexibility to move forward when the time is right.


A great example of how thoughtful design + clear process = confident decisions and successful outcomes.


If your home no longer supports how you live, it might be time to rethink it.

🌿 New Project Appointment in Hampshire Countryside near Wi******er 🌿



Light House Studio are excited to begin work on the design for a ground floor rear extension and internal re-planning project to a charming brick and flint cottage in an idyllic rural setting.


Projects like this are always a privilege. Traditional cottages have a unique character and history, and our approach focuses on carefully reworking the existing layout while respecting the architectural heritage.


The aim is to create a more generous and functional ground floor that supports modern living, while ensuring the new spaces feel completely at home within the original cottage.


Sensitive extensions and thoughtful internal planning can transform how a historic home is lived in — without losing the qualities that make it special.


We look forward to sharing more as the design develops.


If you live in a period or heritage property that no longer works for the way you live, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to explore how we can thoughtfully evolve your home to create something truly special in 2026.

🔎 Struggling with Listed Building Conditions? You're Not Alone.


Many homeowners feel a huge sense of relief when their Listed Building Consent is granted.


But often, that’s not quite the end of the process.


Most consents come with conditions that must be discharged before work can begin, such as:

• Material samples (brick, stone, mortar, timber)
• Detailed drawings for windows, doors, or joinery
• Conservation repair method statements
• Method statements for sensitive works
• Additional heritage approvals


Until these conditions are formally approved by the council, starting work may not be lawful — even though consent has been granted.


At Light House Studio, we regularly guide homeowners through this stage of the process. Preparing clear, well-considered information for conservation officers can help avoid delays and keep projects moving forward smoothly.

Working with historic buildings is always a balance: respecting the building’s character while enabling it to continue working for modern life.

If you’re navigating listed building consent or trying to discharge conditions on a heritage project, feel free to get in touch.

I’m proud to share that at the end of January, I completed the 12-week Help to Grow: Management Course through the School of Business and Law at the University of Brighton.



The course gave me the opportunity to step back from the day-to-day running of Light House Studio and focus on the longer-term vision for the business – where I want it to go and how to get there.



Balancing the 12-week programme alongside running my practice, parenting, and supporting a disabled parent has been full-on, but worth it! The mix of lectures, workshops and case studies provided a huge amount of insight, which I’ll definitely return to.



I’ve come away with a stronger grasp of financial planning, sustainable growth and strategic management – along with valuable new connections across the region. Learning from other business owners and their experiences, many further along in their journey, was a real highlight.



In architecture and construction, it’s easy to get stuck in delivery mode a lot of the time, especially in the current challenging climate. I’ve come away from the course feeling inspired, energised and excited for what’s next — including moving into my new office.



If you’re growing a business and need fresh perspective, I’d highly recommend making time for the Help to Grow: Management course.
