A little about our design studio

Who we are

Our Story

In 2019, we established our architectural design studio, formerly known as Endeavour Design. Since then, our team have been dedicated to helping clients realise their visions through the expertise of our architectural designers.

As Endeavour Design grew, it became clear that the company’s vision and ambition were evolving. In 2024, a pivotal decision was made to rebrand the company as Keystone Architectural, Surveying and Developments, or KASD for short. This change symbolises a foundational role in shaping the built environment. Our new identity embodies the company’s commitment to becoming a cornerstone in the architectural industry, setting a new standard for innovation and forward-thinking design.

At KASD, creativity is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in pushing the boundaries of conventional design, constantly seeking new and inventive ways to bring our clients’ visions to life. Our team of experienced architectural designers think beyond the expected, creating spaces that inspire and resonate with the people who inhabit them.

Our mission is clear: to become the leading architecture design studio in the North-East, while staying true to our core values of excellence, creativity, and client satisfaction.
