Applying for planning permission second nature to us, and although very rare, there are occasions when permission is refused. This happened recently on one of our projects in the South Hams. Whilst we were very disappointed as we thought the design was frankly ‘amazing’; we also know our scheme was entirely compliant with Planning Policy […]
At In Ex Design we use a vast array of methods of communication in the process of helping our clients realise their projects.

Glazing is a big part of any build project and there is no doubt full height glazing in a space looks amazing!

Incorporating spatial arrangements, special finishes, lighting effects, positioning […]
Have you ever driven, cycled or walked past a site and wondered if you could build your dream home there? This is a simple enough question but of course the answer is anything but! The question is actually only answered by considering some of the following points: Can I fit the right size house on […]
Whether your project is a new build, extension or renovation project, it can be challenging to find the right furniture for a space. We are regularly told by clients that they have brought a piece of furniture as a temporary solution whilst looking out for the right piece to fit in a space. Often the […]
