Looking to extend, renovate, or design your dream home in Skellingthorpe? Welcome to AM2 Architects—residential design specialists based in Lincolnshire. We help homeowners in Skellingthorpe enhance their properties through elegant, energy-efficient architecture tailored to village living. Whether you’re reworking a 1970s bungalow, adding space to a family home, or designing something new from the ground up, we’ll guide you every step of the way—with clarity, creativity, and planning expertise.
Skellingthorpe combines the feel of a traditional village with proximity to Lincoln, making it a popular location for families, downsizers, and self-builders alike. Our approach is shaped by years of experience working in similar village settings:
Deep Knowledge of Local Planning
We understand the planning policies of North Kesteven District Council, including design guidance for extensions, backland development, and edge-of-village infill sites. Whether your plot is in an established estate or on a country lane, we ensure compliance and smart design.
Sustainable Design That Performs
We design homes that are warm in winter, cool in summer, and ready for the future. From airtight construction and natural ventilation to intelligent materials and solar orientation, our work enhances comfort and reduces long-term running costs.
Tailored, Client-Led Process
Every home—and every family—is different. We take the time to listen, explore your priorities, and design solutions that respect your budget, style, and goals. Our process is calm, collaborative, and transparent at every stage.
1. Home Extensions
Need more space for cooking, relaxing, or family life? We design home extensions that feel natural and light-filled—whether it’s a rear kitchen-diner, side utility, or upstairs addition. Our extensions balance functionality, aesthetics, and planning constraints.
2. Internal Reconfigurations & Loft Conversions
Not ready to extend? We can unlock hidden potential within your existing footprint. We rework layouts to create open-plan spaces, improve flow, and convert lofts into bright, useful rooms—ideal for offices, bedrooms, or creative spaces.
3. Bespoke New Builds
If you’ve secured a plot in or near Skellingthorpe, we can design your dream home—shaped by your vision, site conditions, and rural context. From concept to planning approval, we deliver homes that blend modern design with the village character.
4. Heritage & Character Property Renovations
Skellingthorpe is home to a mix of 20th-century houses and older brick cottages. We’re experienced in designing sensitive renovations that retain charm while dramatically improving usability, insulation, and layout.
We’re not just designers—we’re problem-solvers. From tricky planning applications to budget-conscious redesigns, we guide our clients with honesty, clarity, and creativity. Our knowledge of Lincolnshire’s planning landscape and our attention to detail mean your home is in safe hands—from the first sketch to the final inspection.
1. Free Consultation
We begin with a no-pressure call or site visit to understand your goals, site conditions, and potential challenges (e.g. drainage, trees, access).
2. Concept Design
We develop early-stage options based on your priorities and the village context—balancing feasibility with creativity.
3. Planning Application
We prepare and submit your application, managing correspondence with North Kesteven District Council and helping anticipate queries or objections.
4. Technical & Tender Drawings
Our construction drawing sets ensure accurate builder pricing, smooth approval with building control, and clarity at every stage of the build.
5. Construction Support & Client Agent Services
For clients wanting full-service support, we act as your representative during construction—coordinating contractors, reviewing workmanship, and ensuring the design is fully realised.
Our project highlights showcase a diverse range of architectural designs, reflecting our expertise in delivering innovative, functional, and sustainable solutions. From modern new builds to thoughtful heritage restorations, each project demonstrates our commitment to client satisfaction and attention to detail.
