A New multi-disciplinary architectural design studio in Poole Dorset
that cares about quality and the people we’re designing for.
We’ve been told to “pick a lane” more than once, but design rarely stays in one. Architectural design builds a broad set of skills, from problem solving and communication to technical thinking and an eye for detail. Those skills don’t stop at the front door so why should we?
We believe great design begins with understanding how people live, connect, and celebrate life’s important moments. Whether we’re shaping a family home through thoughtful architectural design or creating bespoke details for a wedding, we bring the same care, creativity, and attention to detail to every project.
For us, it’s simple: good design is good design, whether it’s a home, an interior, wedding or something new.
Dorset Residential Architecture
An affordable alternative to an architect
Our architectural design services are aimed at bold and creative spaces for your home. Not everyone wakes up thinking about how they need an Architect or designer. It starts from the little things such as I need a bigger kitchen or can I extend my house. Questions we are happy to help solve from house extensions to uplifting interiors. We specialise in small scale home projects within the residential architecture space, plus a little bit of what if thinking:
- House extensions
- New homes in your garden
- Garden designs
- Garage conversions into an annex
- Interior remapping
“With rising costs in our world we are aiming to keep architectural design affordable to the everyday person.”

How I got here…
It started with small beginnings and a love of design. Over time, that grew into something more. I was told no one’s path is a straight line. Mine appears to have taken that as a personal challenge. From architecture school to my own wedding table, it’s been an unexpected journey, but one I care deeply about.
Being young and ambitious, that journey shapes everything I do. Whether it’s designing spaces or creating for weddings, each project gets the same care, attention to detail, and focus on the people it’s for.

Our Approach…
Wedding Designer?
If you’ve made it this far and haven’t clicked away to the stationery page, you’re probably wondering what a wedding designer actually is.
Similar to an architectural designer, a wedding designer is someone who creates bespoke elements for your wedding day, designed around you and your ideas. That can include stationery, table details, signage, or something completely custom like vases with your wedding date, playing card and newspapers to name a few.
It can also be a bit more playful. Think bespoke table games to break the ice, personalised details, or small design pieces that bring personality into the day in a way that feels natural and fun.
At Dorset Maker Studio, we design for your wedding however you need it. There’s no fixed formula, no judgement, and no limits on ideas. We aren’t an Etsy so it’s your day, and everything we create is shaped around that.
architectural Designer ?
After years of studying, I often get asked why I didn’t go down the route of large community buildings or cutting-edge architectural projects.
For me, the focus has always been on something smaller and closer to home. I prefer working at a more human scale, where design has a direct impact on family life and everyday living. Being recently married and getting my first house, home architecture, my love for home architecture has grown.
That means I aim to design extensions, interiors and homes spaces that are lived in and shaped over time.
Think of me as a family-focused architectural designer, working locally as part of your neighbourhood to help shape the places you live in. We don’t do over developments here.
