Extended Ideas – Specialist Architect in Derby
Transform your home with exceptional architectural design.
With care and quality...
Extended Ideas exists to save the world from badly designed home transformations. I’m a specialist architect in Derby, and I help clients make decisions, show them the possibilities, and help bring their living spaces to life through carefully designed 3D plans and a personal 1-2-1 service. I consult and advise people who can’t or have difficulty visualising their home renovation projects. As one of the experienced architects in Derby, I focus on creating thoughtful, functional designs that turn ideas into beautiful living spaces.

Based in Derby, I offer a personal, supportive service as one of the dedicated architects in Derby, creating intelligent layouts that flow and truly work for you.
