Explore ideas for your home with an architect by your side


A Pride Road Concept Design Workshop is where your ideas begin to take shape. It is a hands on session in your home where we listen to what you need, measure the space and sketch layout options with you. By the end of the workshop you will have hand drawn plans that show what is possible and how your home could work for your family.

Magda and Lisa - Pride Road Architects

Which workshop suits your home

We will guide you to the right option for your property. Most homes, including four and five bedroom houses, can be explored fully within a half day or full day workshop.

Half Day Workshop from £400

Best for focused projects such as:

  • a single storey extension
  • internal changes on one floor
  • an attic conversion
  • smaller and medium sized homes where the layout is straightforward

A half day gives us time to measure the space and explore a clear set of options with you.

We listen carefully to your needs, discuss your budget and explain any permissions or regulations you may need to consider. By the end of the call you will understand your options and have a realistic sense of what your project might involve.

Full Day Workshop from £600

Ideal for:

  • two storey extensions
  • larger reconfigurations that link several rooms
  • homes where you want to explore a wider range of ideas
  • most four and five bedroom properties

A full day allows us to look at the whole house, test more variations and talk through the choices that matter most to you.

Larger or more complex homes

If your property is unusually large, heavily altered or has a layout that needs more detailed investigation, we may suggest a measured survey before the workshop. This is organised through a trusted third party company. Once the survey is complete, we return for the workshop session.

If you think your home may fall into this category, please contact us and we will advise you.

What happens during your workshop

During your workshop we:

  • carry out a basic measured survey if a full survey is not needed
  • talk through your needs, frustrations and ideas
  • sketch several hand drawn layout options with you
  • explore how the space could feel and flow
  • discuss feasibility, possible costs and next steps
  • help you feel clear and confident about the direction of your project

Seeing plans drawn in front of you makes it easier to understand what will work and what will not. You leave with a set of ideas that feel right for your home.

What our Clients say

  • I contacted Pride Road as I really liked how the stages were set out and the transparency of the costs and the initial workshops. Magda was great and worked with me on my ideas but also offered really good alternatives and made me think differently. She was always available when I had queries in between meetings and has been really patient with how long the process has taken (our doing and not Pride Road as they have met every deadline they communicated). Alan was also really helpful and responded quickly with queries. I would not hesitate to recommend them! Thank you

  • Great experience, well worth the time and cost. Magda took us through various options, checking on our thoughts and ideas throughout and making really useful suggestions, drawing on experience of past projects. We now have fine decisions to make but it’s great to know what works and how it could look! Looking forward to bringing the plans to life! Thank you Magda

  • Magda came up with some excellent ideas for my extension/renovation that I had not considered. She is knowledgeable not just on the design aspect but also the structural and engineering side.
