Thinking of extending your home? Whether you want more space for family life, working from home, or simply to add long-term value, now is an excellent time to move forward with your plans. Across Dorset, homeowners are choosing to improve rather than move, and the right extension can transform how you use and enjoy your property.
At Rosenkelly Architectural Design, we help clients across Weymouth, Portland, Dorchester and beyond turn ideas into fully designed, compliant and build-ready projects. Here’s why this could be the perfect moment to take the next step.
More Space, Better Living
An extension can give you the extra space you need without the disruption of moving house. Whether it’s an open-plan kitchen, an extra bedroom or a home office, a well-designed extension can make your home work better for your lifestyle. It’s an investment in comfort and future flexibility.
Make the Most of Your Plot
Many Dorset homes have untapped potential. Whether you're in a village or coastal town, we often find opportunities to expand without compromising your outdoor space or your property’s character. We can help you unlock that potential with design-led solutions tailored to your site.
Designed to Add Value
A thoughtfully designed extension doesn’t just improve how you live. It can add significant value to your property if you ever choose to sell. A clear planning history, high-quality visuals and clear documentation make your home more appealing to future buyers or developers.
We also offer 3D visuals and presentation drawings that allow you to showcase your proposal clearly and professionally, which can be particularly helpful during planning or if marketing the property.
A Smarter Way to Extend
We approach each extension project with clarity, cost-efficiency and purpose. As architects and experienced 3D designers, we use a range of tools to deliver accurate, practical drawings that reflect your goals and budget. If you already have a previous model, we may be able to work from that and save time on the design stage.
Our service is tailored to each client. Whether you want to manage the build yourself or have us help through every stage, we’ll guide you with professionalism and attention to detail.
Begin With the Right Advice
If you’re ready to explore your project further, we can visit the property in person and prepare a full quote and letter of appointment based on our discussions. Our fixed consultation fee helps ensure your project receives focused attention from the outset.
We find this approach attracts the right clients: those who are ready to explore serious design work and value clarity from the beginning. If you decide to proceed with us, the consultation fee is deducted from your overall quote.
