ABOUT

JS Designs is a design led architectural consultancy with offices in Wokingham, Berkshire & Bridport, Dorset

 

The company was formed in 2008 by Jonathan Smith to offer architectural services to local residents looking to extend their homes or build the home of their dreams. We are able to offer clients the benefit of considerable experience and knowledge dealing with local Council planners and planning issues. 

In 2011 we obtained planning permission to transform a grade II* listed building, known as the jewel in Wokinghams architectural crown, called the Elms, in Broad Street, Wokingham. Planning was granted to convert it from offices into 7 grand luxury apartments, which have now been completed.

 

In 2014 we obtained various listed building consents ranging from internal re-design, conversion, apartments and Houses.

Why use JS Designs to design my property?

We add value through creativity, helping you to realise your own design ideas to their full potential. House extensions designed with expertise maximise both your future enjoyment and the increase in value from an investment in your property. A kitchen extension may turn a small cooking space into a social family room, whilst opening the space to the garden. A loft conversion filled with natural light may become an exciting entertainment space for all the family, realising the potential of your home. We can combine beautiful spaces, materials and light to create a truly inspirational home tailored to your family.
