'Used Carl recently on a development of mine and his ability to get the most out of what we had and the bring it to life with the renders made the vision that much easier to understand. Will be using him on all moving forward'

Jamie B

Snobnall, Burton-upon-Trent

'When I first contacted Carl I needed help expanding my limited downstairs living space.  When he visited, he suggested a solution that was not only cost effective but worked perfectly to give me more useable room downstairs.  I am so happy with the results!'

Mike S

Stretton, Burton-upon-Trent

'We had a great experience working with Carl. From the very beginning, he took the time to really listen to us and made sure our ideas were reflected in the plans.  Carl balanced our preferences with practical and creative solutions, resulting in a design that fits the cottage beautifully and works perfectly for our needs.'

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROJECT

Carl Wymark, Director and Architectural Technologist at CW Architectural Design

I’m Carl, founder of CW Architectural Design.

My background combines architectural design with over 10 years of experience in architectural design and construction. It means I approach projects with an understanding of not only how they should look, but how they will actually be built.

I work with homeowners, self-builders and developers on extensions, renovations and new homes, providing support from the first ideas through planning and technical design. I also provide independent new build snagging inspections, using my construction experience to identify defects and workmanship issues that can easily be missed.

My approach is straightforward: good design, practical advice and clear communication throughout. Whether I'm designing a home or inspecting one that's already been built, the aim is the same, to help you make better decisions about your property.
