The Daylight Lab

We bring highly creative architectural design, expert planning services and daylight and sunlight analysis under one roof, streamlining the design and planning process from conception to completion, providing the best possible results and value for our clients. Whether you want to maximise a sensitive site and avoid stumbling blocks in the planning process, build your dream home, design an extension or simply place a window in an optimum position we are here to help. Specialists in working with tricky sites and with a proven record of hard to achieve planning approvals we look at planning where it has previously failed and find solutions to neighbourly objections before they arise. Using 3D modelling and VR we can help you visualise your projects in ways that were once impossible, experimenting with light and shadow and creating beautiful spaces that excite and engage from the moment the design process starts. We also welcome contact from other architects and designers, taking a collaborative approach to advise on matters such as maximum building envelopes, lighting of basements and overshadowing of neighbours, and providing BRE compliant Daylight and Sunlight Assessments for planning purposes. For details of past projects, quotes, free advice and anything else you can think of please get in touch by phone or email with the contact details provided.
