Local Cast Study - Collaborative Approach & Phased Masterplan for a Forever Home
We are working closely with our clients and our trusted builder from the very beginning to ensure price certainty across all design options. This collaborative approach allows us to test and refine ideas with real-world buildability and cost clarity in mind, avoiding surprises later in the process.
The clients have purchased this property as their forever home, and are therefore committed to a long-term vision. To reflect this, we are developing a comprehensive masterplan that outlines the full scope of potential works, which can then be delivered in carefully considered phases. This strategy enables them to prioritise the most critical elements for their immediate needs and budget—while maintaining a coherent and unified design vision for the future.
The masterplan includes:
A ground floor rear extension to improve family living spaces
First floor extensions to create additional bedrooms and flexible future-proofed layouts
A garage extension with associated external works
Hard and soft landscaping to enhance both function and aesthetic of the outdoor environment
This phased approach not only brings financial control and design integrity, but also supports the clients’ plan to grow their family within the home—ensuring the spaces evolve with their needs over time.
What Is Design and Build — and Why More Homeowners Are Choosing It
Design and build means one team handles your project from beginning to end. You don’t need to hire a designer, then a planner, then a builder — and hope they all speak the same language. Instead, you get one dedicated team who takes care of everything, with full accountability.
At AM2, we lead with thoughtful architectural design and collaborate with skilled local builders to bring every project to life. It’s a partnership built on clarity, where every detail is shaped with purpose and delivered with care.
Architect-Led, Builder-Powered
We believe great buildings are the result of collaboration, not compromise.
Our design-led process ensures your home is tailored to the way you live — with careful attention to light, flow, energy performance, and planning potential. And our trusted builder partners make it real with craftsmanship, experience, and pride in their work.
We design with build in mind — avoiding last-minute changes or costly mistakes.
Builders are involved early — ensuring feasibility and cost clarity.
You stay in control — with one point of contact guiding you the whole way.
This is design and build done properly — not a shortcut, but a smarter route to better homes.

Why Design and Build Works So Well in Burton Joyce
Burton Joyce is a fantastic place to live — leafy, peaceful, and well-connected. Its spacious gardens, riverside charm, and mix of architectural styles make it an ideal setting for bespoke design and build projects.
But like many desirable villages, it comes with unique challenges: Conservation zones, Flood risk considerations near the Trent, Tricky access on some plots, Strict planning policies for infill or garden builds.
That’s why our joined-up approach makes such a difference:
We design with planning in mind, working with — not against — local constraints.
We know how to unlock space on sloped or irregular plots.
Our integrated design and build process keeps everything moving — from sketch to site — without the usual handover delays.
Most importantly, we help you create a home that’s designed to live well and hold value over time.
From garage convesions to new build homes, we deliver projects that are practical, personal, and built to last.

No two homes — or clients — are the same. But here are some of the most popular ways we’re helping people transform their homes locally:
