Design education & hourly consultations
DesignStreet teaches you how buildings and rooms actually work — then puts a registered architect, chartered engineer or interior designer on a call with you for an hour, when your project needs one. No retainer. No six-month engagement.
How it works
01
A ten-minute intake: the property, the constraints, the budget, and how much of the work you intend to take on yourself. We use it to point you at the right course track and the right professionals.
02
Structured courses in architecture, civil engineering, interior design and lighting — taught by practising professionals, assessed on real drawings, not quizzes.
03
Bring a plan, a problem or a quote to a vetted architect, engineer or designer. Hourly, recorded, with written notes afterwards. No retainer, no six-month engagement.
Featured courses
Work the way a studio does: interrogate the brief, test massing against site and climate, and resolve a two-storey house from first sketch to a coordinated drawing set.
Mariam Osei — Principal, Osei Works
The engineering vocabulary designers actually need — load paths, spans, deflection, foundations and soil — so you can argue your case in a coordination meeting and know when to call a specialist.
Daniel Iyer — Chartered Structural Engineer
Planning, proportion, material and joinery detailing for real rooms — ending in a complete scheme with a costed specification and an FF&E schedule you could issue to a contractor.
Clara Bendixen — Founder, Studio Bendixen
Daylight modelling, layered artificial light, colour temperature and control strategy — with a full lighting plan, schedule and switching diagram as your final submission.
Yusuf Rahman — Lighting Designer, formerly Arup Lighting
Featured professionals
We check registration or chartership, professional indemnity cover and a portfolio of completed work before anyone is listed. Sessions are recorded and followed by written notes within two working days.
