At David Hickinson Architecture, we specialise in delivering thoughtful, practical, and bespoke solutions as a new build designer homeowners trust.
Building your own home is a unique opportunity to create a property that’s designed entirely around the way you live. Professional architectural design ensures your new home is not only visually appealing but also practical, efficient and designed to meet your needs both now and in the future.
Unlike standard house plans, a bespoke new build is tailored specifically to your plot, your lifestyle and your long-term aspirations.
Bespoke Design
Every home is individually designed to reflect your lifestyle, priorities and future plans, creating a space that’s truly unique to you.
Planning & Building Regulations Expertise
We prepare the drawings and documentation needed to support planning applications and Building Regulations, helping your project progress as smoothly as possible.
Cost-Effective Design
Thoughtful design decisions made at the outset can improve construction efficiency, reduce unnecessary costs and create a home that’s economical to maintain.
Making the Most of Your Plot
Every site presents different opportunities and challenges. We carefully consider orientation, natural light, views and the surrounding environment to create a home that makes the very best use of the available space.
At David Hickinson Architecture, we offer a complete range of services tailored to support every stage of your project. We ensure each service adds real value, clarity, and confidence to your journey.
We create fully tailored home designs that reflect your lifestyle, maximise your plot, and balance creativity with practical construction solutions.
Our self build design services guide you through the entire process, from early ideas to final drawings, ensuring your project remains efficient, compliant, and aligned with your vision.
We handle all planning applications, drawings, and communication with local authorities, helping your secure approvals smoothly while meeting all regional and national planning requirements.
We produce detailed technical drawings that ensure full compliance with regulations, giving your new build construction company everything needed to build accurately and efficiently.
Our visualisation services help you clearly understand your design before construction begins, allowing adjustments and confident decisions early in the process.
We prepare comprehensive documentation for your new build construction company, supporting accurate pricing, contractor selection, and smooth project execution.
Professional architectural design doesn't end when the drawings are complete. Throughout the construction phase, we remain available to answer technical queries, provide clarification where needed and work closely with your builder to help ensure the finished home reflects the agreed design.
Our ongoing involvement helps keep your project moving smoothly while maintaining the quality and integrity of the original design.
From your first ideas through to the completion of your new home, we provide a comprehensive architectural design service tailored to your project. By carefully managing each stage of the process, we help turn your vision into a practical, well-designed home that's ready to build.

Initial consultation and project brief
Site appraisal and feasibility

We manage planning applications, liaise with local authorities, and ensure all approvals are secured efficiently, reducing delays and simplifying regulatory requirements.
