By: Phoebe Shannon

Phoebe has moved onto pastures new, but this was her bio when she did work with us, and very good it is too: I’ve always been interested in architecture, especially skyscrapers and unusual buildings. I studied Economics, Politics and Law at Dublin City University and completed my masters in Globalisation and International Law. I completed my exams to become a solicitor, but soon realised that the legal sector was not for me and I wanted to work in a more creative industry. I moved to London from Ireland five years ago and have worked in the property management and development industries before joining Design Team. The Dancing House in Prague is probably my favourite building.

15 June, 2026

This is a question we are frequently asked by prospective clients, and our answer is always the same; the cost is dependent on the size and the design of the scheme.

Replacing an Existing Conservatory with an Extension
10 June, 2026

In London in 2026, replacing a conservatory with a solid extension costs roughly £2,800 to £5,500 per m² for the build, or about £60,000 to £150,000 all in for a small-to-medium rear extension. Removing the old conservatory adds £800 to £2,500. Like-for-like replacements often need…
