I have a solid-walled (225 mm brick-and-stone) single-storey outbuilding measuring roughly 6 m × 3.6 m. I now want to create an office/workspace above it by adding a independant supported timber-joist first floor supported on timber posts and that projects 1.2 m beyond all four elevations, giving the whole upper level a clean, minimalist look with simple lines and gable ended. Here is what I need from you: • Structural design and drawings for the new cantilevered timber deck and supporting details, showing how it will tie safely into the existing masonry. • Floor-plan and section drawings for the office layout, incorporating an internal stair for everyday access. • External elevations that keep the minimalist aesthetic while showing cladding, window sizes and positions. • Structural calculations suitable for local building-control submission, covering joists, cantilever beams, connections and any additional posts or steelwork that may be required. I will supply photographs, a basic measured survey of the current structure, and any site constraints as soon as we start. Please indicate the software you prefer (AutoCAD, Revit, Tekla, etc.) and the file formats you’ll hand over. I’m happy to review early concept sketches before we move on to detailed documentation. If you have completed similar small-scale cantilevered additions or timber-frame first floors, do share examples so I can see your approach. Look forward to collaborating and turning this outbuilding into a bright, practical workspace.

As a professional architect and BIM technologist expert in Revit and AutoCAD, I specialize in structural timber detailing, space planning, and minimalist architectural additions. Please take a moment to visit my profile and review my past client feedback. Their reviews and 5-star ratings reflect my dedication, high-quality standards, and professional execution. You can fully trust my expertise to handle your project with precision. Working natively in Revit and AutoCAD, I will ensure every joist connection, cantilever projection, and stair circulation is meticulously detailed and structural logic is sound. Your complete package will include: • Architectural Plans & Sections: Efficient office layout, internal stair positioning, and clear vertical clearances. • Minimalist Exterior Elevations: Clean lines, gable-end design, window placement, and timber cladding details. • Structural Timber Framing Details: Comprehensive connection details showing joists, timber posts, and masonry ties. • Formats Provided: Native Revit (.RVT), AutoCAD (.DWG), and high-resolution PDF sets ready for Building Control submission. Please send me a message so we can chat in detail about the project specifics, iron out the terms, and reach an agreement to kick off immediately!

Hi, Your project immediately caught my attention because it combines two areas I particularly enjoy: thoughtful small-scale architectural design and the challenge of creating a clean, minimalist addition around an existing structure. The idea of transforming the existing 6 × 3.6 m outbuilding into a bright workspace, with the upper floor projecting beyond all four elevations, has great architectural potential. I would approach the design carefully so that the new timber structure feels visually light and contemporary while remaining properly coordinated with the existing masonry and the practical requirements of the building. I can develop the architectural package including: • Concept sketches and design development • Detailed floor plans and sections • Internal stair layout and circulation • Minimalist external elevations • Window positioning and cladding design • Timber framing and structural coordination details • Clear PDF documentation and editable CAD/Revit files I work with AutoCAD, Revit and 3ds Max, and have a professional architectural background with experience in residential design, 3D modelling and technical documentation. My proposed fee is £450, with an estimated turnaround of 7days, depending on the completeness of the survey information and the level of structural detailing required. I would be happy to begin with the early concept sketches you mentioned, allowing us to establish the form and proportions before developing the detailed documentation.

Hello, I reviewed your attached file carefully. Your project is an exciting structural and architectural challenge, and I'd be delighted to help develop it from concept through building-control documentation. As a licensed architect and licensed professional engineer with over 20 years of experience, I have designed timber-framed additions, structural retrofits, and residential extensions that require careful integration with existing masonry structures. I can provide the complete package, including structural design for the independent timber floor system with the 1.2 m cantilever, framing details, floor plans, sections, elevations, and structural calculations for submission. The minimalist appearance, gable-end form, cladding, window placement, and stair layout will all be developed to create a practical workspace while maintaining clean architectural lines. I typically work in AutoCAD and Revit, with structural coordination in Tekla when appropriate. Deliverables can include DWG, PDF, DXF, RVT, IFC, and calculation reports. I'd also be happy to provide concept sketches for review before progressing to the final documentation and can share examples of similar timber-frame and cantilever projects. Best regards Noah

Hi, I carefully reviewed your project and understand that you need architectural drawings and a clean Revit/AutoCAD package for your proposed first-floor office extension. As a qualified architect, I can provide: • Floor plans and internal layout • Sections and elevations • Architectural 3D model and visualizations • Detailed construction drawings • CAD and Revit files (DWG, RVT and PDF) I work with AutoCAD, Revit and SketchUp and always deliver organized, editable files that are easy to review and update. Please note that structural calculations or engineer certification required by UK Building Control should be completed by a licensed UK structural engineer. I will gladly coordinate my architectural drawings with your engineer's requirements to ensure a smooth approval process. I can begin immediately after receiving your measurements and photographs and will provide regular progress updates throughout the project. I look forward to working with you. Best regards, Esra G.
