About
Since 2020, Dermott has grown from simple graphical conceptual design into a growing practice. What began with preliminary renderings for planning
applications, highlighting land use and spatial arrangement through building design, has now developed to encompass both graphic and building design for rural and urban settings.
Our process guides applicants in imagining their design, creating simple visual representations of their ideas, so that they may better present their ideas to architects or engineers.
Based in the North East of England, we have expanded to projects in the South West and the Midlands. In our continued development, we explore urban matrices and emerging
urbanism with people centric agonistic design to find the best use of our landscape.

Terraced housing is the future — with shared gardens on the front street,
segregated cycling routes between homes and shops, and separate vehicular
access to the rear of the housing. Physically separating people from cars.
05/2025 Key Quatre Regenerationism
A new initiative has been organised with local Nailsea businesses and residents
to petition for the re-opening of the former Key Quatre Gardens in Nailsea town centre.
This may provide a new sheltered public area, growing in popularity.
