About DNS Design – Architectural Design in Hartlepool and Surrounding Areas
At DNS Design, we believe your home should be more than just a place to live – it should reflect your personality, lifestyle, and aspirations. Based in Hartlepool, we proudly serve County Durham, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Teesside, Darlington, Sunderland, and Newcastle. We specialise in bespoke architectural design for domestic projects, including home extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, open-plan living spaces, kitchen extensions, and full new-build homes. Our mission is simple: to transform your ideas into thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient spaces that feel like home from the moment you step inside.
Founded with a passion for architecture and a dedication to excellence, DNS Design was established to provide personalised design solutions as unique as the families who live in them. With years of experience in residential architecture, we have developed a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of planning applications, building regulations, and what makes a home both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Our Approach
We believe that great design starts with understanding your needs and lifestyle. That’s why we take time to listen to your ideas, understand your budget, and work collaboratively to bring your vision to life. Whether you're planning a single-storey extension, two-storey extension, bungalow loft conversion, or a modern open-plan renovation, we approach each project with creativity, precision, and a commitment to quality.
Our designs focus on more than just aesthetics – we prioritise natural light, energy efficiency, thermal performance, and space optimisation. The result? Homes that are both beautiful and practical, tailored to modern living standards.
