D7 Architecture is a well-established, award-winning Chartered Architectural practice located in Kirkcaldy. We serve the regions of Fife, Edinburgh, Perth and Kinross, East Lothian, Mid Lothian, West Lothian, and Falkirk.
As a family-run business with over 25 years of experience, we possess the expertise and capacity to provide a comprehensive range of architectural design services. We offer professional support throughout all project phases and specialise in domestic projects.
Our practice has earned an excellent reputation in the region, founded on the quality of our work and the strength of our relationships with local planning and building control authorities. We integrate contemporary architectural knowledge, a talent for building design, and a thorough understanding of planning and building regulations to create plans that are effective for all stakeholders, resulting in a remarkably high approval rate for applications.
We provide the option for FREE no obligation initial consultation meeting on all jobs to discuss your project requirements. We will schedule a convenient time to meet at your property to go over your needs and inform you of any potential limitations we might anticipate. Following this, we will send you a quotation letter that outlines our services, associated fees, and any other consultants necessary for your project. Some proposals may not need full Planning Permission and only require a Certificate of Lawfulness. Minor changes to your home might not necessitate a Structural Engineer, while more intricate projects will. This will be addressed during the consultation visit.
We utilise some of the most advanced equipment available to perform a 3D scan of your property during out site visit. This guarantees that all measurements are taken in a single site visit, capturing everything from room layouts, the locations of windows and doors, pipe boxes, walls that are not at 90 degrees, to ceiling heights, and more.
Additionally, we use the latest cutting-edge design software that enables us to model most of our projects in 3D. This allows you to view early concepts of your proposal before a final design is finalized. It also identifies any potential conflicts early in the design process.
We have the ability to deliver 3D images in-house, regardless of the project size. These can vary from simple 3D images to photorealistic representations. This enhances visualisation for clients who may be less experienced in interpreting architectural drawings and can also be included in your planning application submission. For new constructions, photorealistic images can help visualise all spaces, enabling you to see your building in 3D before it is constructed.
Moreover, we can create 3D animations for your proposals. The technology we employ is the same software used by game developers. This can be shared through an online link, allowing you to explore your building from the comfort of your home.
