About us
KD Design is an architectural design studio based in the beautiful county of Oxfordshire. We specialise in individual home extensions, alterations and renovations for private clients.
I founded KD Design in 2009 as a sole practice. I am an experienced architectural designer with a background in architectural technology, building design and construction. This experience allows me to consider the practical and technical requirements of a project from the outset, without losing sight of the overall vision.
My technical background has given me a strong understanding of the link between design and how a project is actually built. I have extensive experience in planning policy and strategy, sustainable design, construction detailing and Building Regulations. These skills, combined with a passion for good design and strong attention to detail, help me identify potential problems before building work starts, support a smoother construction phase and, most importantly, create beautiful buildings that we can all be proud of.
When you work with KD Design, you work directly with me throughout the entire process. I will be your consistent point of contact, from our first conversation and the initial design ideas through planning, technical design and construction. Your project will not be passed to less experienced members of a wider team.
For me, the greatest satisfaction comes from the genuine thanks of a client when their project is complete. Seeing clients who are thrilled with their new home is by far the most rewarding part of what I do.

Design fees
Design Fees for our services vary in relation to the size and complexity of the project.
For home extensions and where the full scope of works are known, KD Design will endeavour to agree a fixed ‘lump sum’ price or contract sum percentage before starting any work. For more complex projects, or where more flexibility is required we can undertake work on an agreed hourly time charge. We will never ask for any payment up front.
Our fees are typically broken down into stage payments and become due on completion of the relevant stages of work as described here
