Who we are.
We’re a family-run company with expert knowledge in house extensions and loft conversions. We guide you on build costs upfront, connect you with top builders, and deliver high-quality designs at an affordable price. Fast, efficient, and always honest - that’s the Kirkwood recipe for a stress-free extension.
Were not your average architects
We have a formula that works
We don’t just provide architectural plans; we help with the whole process, from structural engineering to recommending trusted local builders. Whether it’s a single story extension, loft conversion, or kitchen extension, our Essex architects walk you through every step, giving you a full breakdown of costs, including build costs, before you even spend a penny on plans. That’s what makes us different from other architectural design companies in Essex.
We care about our clients and want you to know all potential costs before you commit. We do this because transparency is important, and making informed decisions is key to a successful home extension.
