Sectors

D2 works across residential, development and commercial projects in Cheshire and North Wales.

The building types vary, but the issues are often familiar – planning history, site constraints, competing priorities and decisions that need to hold up long after permission is granted.

We’re usually brought in when those pressures start shaping the direction of a scheme. Our role is to make sense of the planning context early, apply clear judgement, and stay involved through delivery so what’s approved can actually be built.

Homes that make sense, from brief to build

Our projects range from private homes to commercial buildings and development sites. The scale and context might change, but the need for good judgement early on doesn’t.

Whatever the starting point, we test what’s feasible and carry decisions through so the project works in practice.

Residential Architecture

From drawings to delivery

Residential projects are personal. Decisions are lived with every day, budgets are finite, and small changes can have a big impact.

We work with private homeowners on new homes, extensions and renovations, often in established neighbourhoods or sensitive planning contexts. Our role is to help make sense of what’s possible, support early decisions, and carry them through to the finished house.

Property Development

Helping you navigate planning reality

Development projects bring a different set of pressures. Planning risk, viability and delivery all need to be understood before momentum builds.

We work with developers and landowners from early feasibility onwards, often before a site is bought or a scheme is fixed. Our role is to test ambition against planning reality, and help shape proposals that can actually be delivered.

Commercial

Design that holds up in the real world

Commercial projects need to work hard. They have to perform well, sit comfortably in their setting and stand up to how they’re used over time.

We work on offices, mixed-use schemes and commercial elements within larger developments. Our focus is on good design that performs; buildings shaped by use, context and delivery, not by appearance alone.
