Arc & Estates was founded with one clear goal: to help property investors unlock the full potential of their projects through thoughtful, efficient design. We specialise in architectural support for BRRRs, HMOs, loft conversions, house extensions and change-of-use applications across the UK.
Led by Jennifer, a London-based architectural designer, we bring together creativity, compliance knowledge, and investor-focused thinking. Whether you’re reconfiguring a floor plan to add value or preparing for a planning submission, we deliver tailored solutions that make your project easier to manage and more profitable.
We’re not just about drawings we’re about helping you build smarter, faster, and with confidence.
Architectural
Design
At Arc & Estates, we specialise in architectural design for property investors looking to maximise space, value, and return on investment. Whether you’re converting a single dwelling into a compliant HMO, adding value through a loft conversion, or optimising layouts for a BRRR or flip, our design process is tailored to meet your project goals.
From concept to planning drawings, we focus on smart, practical layouts that align with both your vision and compliance requirements. We combine creative thinking with technical know-how so you can move confidently from idea to planning approval and beyond.
"Thank you for the amazing work you are doing on my project. Your expertise and attention to detail have been invaluable"
Anne
“Working with Jennifer at Arc & Estates was an absolute game-changer for our project. She understood exactly what we were trying to achieve with our HMO conversion and translated it into a design that was both efficient and planning-compliant. Her attention to detail, fast turnaround, and knowledge of investor needs made the whole process seamless. We’ll definitely be using her again on our next BRRR.”
“Jen just gets it. She took my rough idea and turned it into a clear, investor-focused layout that made sense for planning and resale. Super professional, easy to work with, and fast.”
“I felt completely supported throughout the process. Jen’s design advice was spot on, and she helped me add real value to my flip. Couldn’t have asked for better.”
How we bring your property vision to life
Clearly, efficiently, and with investor goals in mind.
OUR PROCESS
01 | Free Consultation & Site Visit
We begin with a no-obligation consultation and, where applicable, a site visit to understand your project goals, investment strategy, and any site-specific constraints. This helps us assess the property's potential and offer expert design advice tailored to your needs.
02 | Architectural Proposal
Following our discussion, we send a clear, transparent proposal outlining:
Project brief
Design stages
Required services
Timeline & key milestones
Terms and fees
You’ll have a full roadmap before any commitment.
03 | Measured Survey
Once the proposal is accepted, we carry out a detailed measured survey of the property to capture accurate dimensions and existing structural elements — ensuring precision from the ground up.
04 | Design Development & 3D Visualisation
We prepare full architectural drawings, including:
Floor Plans
Elevations
Sections
Optional 3D visualisations are available to help you visualise the space before works begin — perfect for planning, investor confidence, or builder reference.
05 | Client Review & Revisions
You’ll receive a full review session via site meeting, video call, or phone to go through the proposed design. We take your feedback and apply revisions carefully to ensure everything aligns with your goals and expectations before finalising.
