Residential Design Studio & Spatial Planning
Anastas Architecte is a residential design practice focused on bespoke homes, spatial planning, and renovation coordination. From the first site analysis to the final construction drawing, we guide private homeowners through every stage of the design process.
We specialise in house extensions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, heritage restorations, and new-build designs. Each project is shaped around natural light, functional flow, and material palettes that suit the local climate.

How we work
A clear, structured process that keeps you informed at every stage. We handle the technical coordination so you can focus on the decisions that matter for your home.
We visit your property, assess orientation, existing structure, and local planning constraints. Together we define the scope, budget envelope, and your priorities for the space.
Hand-drawn layouts and early 3D studies explore how natural light moves through the home. We test circulation, sightlines, and room proportions before committing to a direction.
The chosen concept is refined into detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections. Material palettes are selected for durability and climate suitability, with samples shared for your review.
Full drawing sets and specifications are prepared for tender and building approval. We coordinate structural inputs, joinery details, and services layouts so contractors can price accurately.
We manage the tender process, review quotations, and act as your representative on site. Regular inspections ensure the build matches the drawings and material specifications.
A final walkthrough checks every detail against the design intent. We provide a snag list, maintenance guidance for your finishes, and remain available for post-occupancy questions.
Begin Your Project
Share your ideas for an extension, remodel, or new build. We'll walk through the site constraints, your family's daily routines, and how natural light can shape the layout before we put pencil to paper.

"The team managed our rear extension from concept to completion. They handled the planning drawings and worked closely with our builder to make sure every detail matched the original sketches. The natural light in the kitchen now is remarkable."
Margaret H.
House extension, East Thatofurt
"We restored a 1920s family home and were worried about losing its character. The studio kept the original cornices and fireplace, and the new layout flows much better for daily life. A thoughtful, careful process from start to finish."
Daniel & Priya S.
Heritage restoration, Sifiso Extension
"The kitchen remodel was handled with real attention to material selection. They recommended a durable stone palette that suits the coastal climate, and the space feels both practical and warm. Communication was clear at every stage."
Elena V.
Kitchen remodel, North West
"Anastas Architecte prepared our full construction documentation and coordinated with local contractors throughout the build. The level of detail in the drawings made the entire process straightforward."

Common questions
Straightforward responses about the design process, fees, and what to expect when planning a home project.
We start with a site visit and a detailed brief about how you use your home. From there, we produce concept sketches and spatial layouts, then move into technical drawings and material schedules. We stay involved through the tender and construction phase, liaising with your contractor to keep the build true to the design.
Yes. The studio covers the full scope—from structural layout and building regulations to interior finishes, joinery details, and lighting. This integrated approach ensures the architecture and interiors feel like one cohesive space, rather than two separate layers.
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with contractors you already trust. We provide clear construction documents, schedules, and regular site reviews to make sure the build matches the drawings. If you don’t have a builder yet, we can recommend local trades we’ve worked with on similar projects.
We start by understanding what makes the original building special—its proportions, materials, and period details. Then we introduce modern elements carefully, such as improved insulation or new glazing, without erasing the character. We also coordinate with conservation officers when needed to ensure the work meets heritage guidelines.
A few photos of the rooms you’re thinking about, plus any floor plans if you have them. It’s also helpful to note your priorities—whether that’s more natural light, better flow between spaces, or a specific material palette. We’ll take it from there and ask the right questions during the meeting.
For a single-room remodel, the design phase usually takes 4–6 weeks. A full house extension or new build can take 3–5 months, depending on complexity and planning requirements. We’ll give you a clear timeline after the first consultation, so you know what to expect at each stage.
