TONY HOLT DESIGN | PLANNING GRANTED FOR REPLACEMENT DWELLING IN ESSEX
We secured planning permission for this 480m² replacement dwelling in October 2018. We were appointed to complete a full technical design enabling our client to investigate the most appropriate build system and delivery method. During this time we were also instructed to complete hard landscape design to compliment the house, the final details are currently being considered. We are looking forward to completing the full technical design for the house and the site shortly and seeing this self build get under way!
TONY HOLT DESIGN : PLANNING GRANTED FOR CONTEMPORARY BUNGALOW REMODEL IN DOREST

The remodel is complete with a new palette of materials including slate roof tiles, natural stone cladding, brick slips and crisp white spray render.
TONY HOLT DESIGN : INTERIOR AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR EXISTING CLIENTS
We have been fortunate to recieve several instructions to extend our scope on existing projects and very much enjoying our broader role.
WHAT ARE WE OFFERING: Extended design services exclusively for existing clients to assist with interior and landscape design. in most cases this reduces the need for additional appointments and simplifies collaboration and coordination.
WHY: We have identified a need for our clients to have access to additional design input not covered by our core service, which may leave gaps for the client to fill or engage others to provide. These areas can include final spatial arrangement, interior design features and internal finishes, landscape design including outbuildings and special items like staircases and bespoke joinery. Many of these areas inform other decisions needed for example small power layout, lighting design, home automation and other specialist elements. In some circumstances these gaps can lead to a lack of continuity and a disconnect with the architecture. We know through a decade of working on homeowner and self build projects, the more we can be involved, the more likely the project will be delivered closer to the original design intent. We see this as a vehicle of increasing our role by bringing additional value to each project.
HOW: We use our existing relationship and our understanding of your preferences, to continue developing designs for your internal and external spaces. The process similar to our architectural design service and utilises all the knowledge and information already available, to help us move through the required stages. Three dimensional modelling software is used to explore solutions and ensure the best possible outcome. These additional elements will assist you in obtaining more fully considered tender prices and your delivery team with the execution of the works as intended. In addition our increased involvement means we are available throughout to provide ongoing support and advice.
