Interior Architectural Design

So what is Interior Architectural Design?


  • In simple terms: it’s redesigning the inside of your home so it works better.


  • It’s not about cushions, colours or décor - and it’s not about drawing big extension plans for planning permission.
    It’s the bit in the middle.


  • Interior architectural design focuses on how your rooms are laid out
  • How you move through the house
  • Where doors and storage should go
  • How to make the most of every inch.


Sometimes small changes - like moving a doorway, opening two rooms into one, or adding clever storage - can completely change how a home feels and functions.


The goal is a house that flows properly, feels comfortable, and makes everyday life easier.


Renovating, extending, or rethinking your space?


If your home isn’t working the way it should, I’ll help you explore what’s possible before you commit to costly building work.

With over 30 years of hands-on experience transforming homes, I look at how your spaces connect and how you really live day-to-day — improving flow, functionality and comfort without losing what you already love.

Whether you’re extending, opening up, or reworking the rooms you have, we’ll design a home that feels right for you, your family, and the way you live.


Let’s turn your ideas into a plan that truly works.


For Renovations

If you’re about to start a renovation and are not sure your layout makes sense, I’ll help you refine your plans before the dust starts flying.
 We’ll look at how your rooms connect, how you live day-to-day, and what changes will make your home truly work for you before you commit to building costs.


For Extensions

Planning to add space? I’ll make sure your new extension flows seamlessly with the existing house.
 From kitchen-dining layouts to circulation and light, thoughtful interior architectural design ensures your project feels like one coherent home, not an awkward add-on.


If your home 'just doesn’t work'

If your home no longer feels right - awkward spaces, poor flow, or rooms that just don’t work, I’ll help you reimagine it.

Often, a few clever design changes are all it takes to transform how your home feels and flows, helping you love it again instead of leaving it.


Making your home work for you.

Every home has its frustrations - but there is always a solution.


Awkward layouts, wasted space, rooms that just don’t flow. I will help you understand why your house doesn’t work as it should, and to design clear, practical solutions that do work.


Sometimes the answer is simple: moving a doorway, opening up a wall, or adding smart storage. Other times it means rethinking the entire internal layout to create the home you’ve always wanted.


It’s about unlocking the full potential of your most valuable asset and creating a home that’s a joy to live in, day after day.


Ready to make your home flow better?
Let’s talk about what’s not working — and how to fix it.

What does it involve?

  • Finding storage

    Find storage in places that are totally wasted, even inside stud walls!

  • Utilising wasted space

    Under and above stairs are a classic wasted space. These spaces can often be accessed from adjacent rooms to create wardrobes or store cupboards.

  • Create better flow

    Make better use of your space, by adding or removing doors or sometime just moving a door a small amount can make a huge difference to how you move through your home and use the space.

  • Altering room layouts

    'Steal' under utilised space from one room by moving a wall or just changing a portion of a wall layout

Often, it will be a combination of some or all of the above, and addressing these issues can make a huge difference to how a home functions.

I went to Martin with some concerns about the flow of the boot room and kitchen designed by my architect. Martin gave fantastic suggestions, completely changed the layout and I now have a design and layout I know will work well. I’m looking forward to seeing the final result once the kitchen is installed.

My wife and I have had a good chat about your design layout and the more we think about it the more we like it. I was also happy that you came back with some forthright views on my initial ideas as this helped me to change my thinking for the better.
