From refined domestic extensions and accessible family living to high-yield infill sites and bespoke new-build dwellings. Led personally by sole principal Adam Grace from concept sketch to site completion.
Whether you are reimagining your family home or appraising a parcel of land for residential development, our workflow balances quiet design sensitivity with commercial and constructional pragmatism.
Your home should evolve effortlessly with the people inside it. We guide homeowners calmly through every step—listening carefully to how you live, testing layouts in 3D, securing planning approval, and producing crystal-clear construction packages for your builder.
For independent developers, builders, and landowners, margin is won in intelligent site layout, policy-compliant massing, and buildable detailing. We turn constrained brownfield, backland, and suburban plots into desirable, saleable schemes.
A curated overview of bespoke new-build homes, sensitive residential extensions, heritage assessments, and technical commercial packages.
Full architectural design, planning justification, and material specification for a contemporary detached family residence on an urban infill plot, carefully calibrated to respect neighbouring ridge heights and street-scene character.
Pre-application development appraisals evaluating multi-unit residential redevelopment options alongside comprehensive technical building specifications, window schedules, and contract documentation.
Light-filled rear and wrap-around extensions designed to transform compartmentalised ground-floor layouts into cohesive open-plan kitchen, dining, and garden living spaces, supported by 3D daylight modelling.
Purpose-designed accessible garden annexes supporting independent multi-generational living, alongside sensitive bungalow reconfiguration and extension works tailored to step-free access and long-term comfort.
Conservation-led reconstruction of traditional gritstone rural outbuildings and detailed Heritage Impact Assessments supporting sensitive commercial and residential interventions within historic conservation areas.
Full planning submission, thermal build-up specification, risk assessments, and Building Regulations compliance package for large-scale commercial roof overcladding and building envelope upgrades.
Architecture should never feel opaque. Our four-stage framework keeps homeowners confident and gives developers total programme and cost clarity.
We begin on site with a detailed measured survey and a candid conversation about your brief, budget, or development yield. Initial spatial options are modelled in 3D so you can experience proportions and daylight immediately.
Once the preferred scheme is refined, we prepare comprehensive planning drawings, 3D visuals, Design & Access Statements, and heritage or Green Belt justifications—managing the application with the Local Planning Authority on your behalf.
Planning approval gets permission; technical precision gets it built properly. We produce detailed Building Regulations drawings, structural coordination, thermal specifications, and window/door schedules for accurate builder pricing.
We assist with contractor tendering, contract administration, and periodic site inspections—remaining a steady, knowledgeable presence on your side until your project is completed and signed off.
“Good architecture doesn’t need to shout. It lies in well-proportioned rooms, natural light arriving where you need it most, and drawings that builders actually enjoy working from.”
Adam Grace — Principal, Grace Architecture
Based in Stockport, Grace Architecture was established to offer homeowners and regional developers an approachable, highly technical alternative to large, impersonal practices.
By combining advanced 3D CAD and Twinmotion visualisation with thorough knowledge of local planning policy and UK Building Regulations, we bridge the gap between imaginative residential design and pragmatic on-site construction.
