Our Architectural Process in High Wycombe
Home renovations can be stressful, but our 10-Step Home Design Process, based on the RIBA architect stages, ensures you are guided confidently through each phase.
Our process starts with a desktop study to identify any planning or building constraints from Buckinghamshire Council, which oversees planning and building control in High Wycombe.
We then meet with you to discuss your needs and provide a fully itemised written quote. If you choose AURA, we’ll present three design concepts to bring your dream home to life.
We handle planning applications, building control documentation, and all necessary approvals before construction begins. We can also offer advice on interior design, fittings, and finishes.
Additionally, AURA Architecture can manage the tender process, help you find a reputable builder, oversee contract management, and monitor the project to ensure a smooth and successful completion.

Graham, Mark and the Aura team have supported us on the planning permission and design of our building works. The service has been 2nd to none - white glove level. Mark our main contact is responsive and helpful. Using Aura was a superb… More decision and looking forward to completing the journey with them over the next months.
As main contractors with appreciation for good and efficient design, we were very impressed with Aura from day 1.
The tender pack had more information than some other projects we have done at completion, all the information is precise and… More carefully considered.
On top of that their ongoing project management is flexible and approachable.
Hope we get to work with them again in the future.
We instructed Aura Architects for a self-build project, they have seamlessly guided us through the process with great care and detail. We have thoroughly enjoyed with Francesco who was been extremely helpful and patient with the project,… More getting us to planning approval which took over 2 years but this did not deter his dedication to the project in what has been a very challenging process.
The whole process has been handled professionally with great communication and understanding from Aura who have taken great care to ensure we are happy and understand each of the key elements.
We are absolutely thrilled with what Aura have created for us and we can not wait to see the project come to life.
I am pleased to recommend Aura for any of your architectural needs! They have been fab and most importantly reliable! Thanks very much and a special thanks to Francesco.
Thanks, J&D.
I'm pleased to provide a review of Aura Homes for their work on our 4-bedroom self-built home in Hertfordshire. It has been a great experience working with them. Architect Francesco in particular displayed a good understanding of our… More vision and delivered a design that met our expectations. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the project.
Ben is firstly a great guy, full of ideas and creativity and positivity, along with experience and intelligence. Secondly, he isn't going anywhere, he is very trustworthy, a man of his word, stable and growing his business in and around… More London. Always looking to find the best solution for your needs and not afraid to show ambition for your project, whilst having a strong knowledge of all current rules/regs and an understanding of the objectives and constraints of the planning system. As an outgoing and gregarious networker, he has positioned Aura as introducer & deal-maker, so if you need introductions to trusted quality services like: Builders, Project Finance, Consultants (e.g. Traffic, Trees, Planning Law) - he usually knows someone!
I recently contacted Aura Homes Ltd to discuss a small development project. The project was unusual and a lot of factors needed to be taken into account due to the location, site surroundings and practicality of the proposal.
I originally… More discussed it with Ben Richards who I found to be helpful, knowledgable and very accommodating in that he listened intently to give a fair assessment of feasibility.
Iris Kouneni was assigned to me and met with me to thoroughly discuss and understand what my intentions were. Like Ben, she digested my layman’s view and proceeded to give me her professional opinion.
Iris and Ben were an absolute delight to work with, professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and communicative to mention just a few of their qualities.
Unfortunately due to the COVID19 lockdown we have had to shelve the project.
It's been a pleasure to work with Aura Homes Ltd, refreshingly honest and professional.
I look forward to working together with them in the future.
