architectural Homes
It is not until you have lived in a Derbyshire home that you truly understand and value great design and functionality.
Building an architectural home offers more than just stunning aesthetics – it’s about creating a space tailored to your lifestyle. Thoughtful design features maximise natural light, reduce energy costs, and ensure comfort year-round. With careful consideration of materials and home orientation, an architecturally designed home delivers long-term sustainability and functionality. At Derbyshire, we collaborate with architects to combine creativity and craftsmanship to bring your vision to life in a home that stands the test of time, with features designed just for you.
KNOCKDOWN REBUILD
A knockdown rebuild lets you stay or buy in an area you love while building the home you’ve always wanted. At Derbyshire, we specialise in managing the unique challenges of knockdown rebuild projects, from navigating council regulations to designing around the landscape such as preserving heritage trees. With our experience, we handle every obstacle to create a home perfectly suited to your lifestyle and your land.
LUXURY HOMES
For our clients, luxury isn’t just about grand scale or flashy features; it’s about creating a home where every detail is tailored to you and your lifestyle. It’s functional, offers a sense of calm, and reflects the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. It’s about you – does your home express your personal style? How does your home make you feel? For Derbyshire, it’s all in the details. Our experienced network of architects and specialty craftsmen bring your vision to life by working closely with you to create custom features that make your home yours.

Our thoughtful approach ensures your home maximises natural resources, reduces energy costs, and provides year-round comfort – all while minimising environmental impact.
