Services
Residential Architecture
We specialise in creating bespoke residential spaces that reflect individual client needs. Our services cover new builds, extensions, and renovations across London and surrounding areas. With 17 years of experience, we combine creative design with practical functionality to deliver homes that enhance daily living. Our approach ensures each project meets both aesthetic aspirations and regulatory requirements.
Planning Permission
Navigating planning regulations is made simple through our comprehensive service. We prepare and submit applications, manage communications with local authorities, and ensure compliance with all requirements. Our expertise in London's planning landscape helps achieve successful outcomes for complex projects including heritage buildings and modern developments.
Project Management
We provide end-to-end project management to ensure smooth execution of architectural plans. This includes coordinating with builders, monitoring timelines and budgets, and maintaining quality standards throughout construction. Our hands-on approach ensures client visions translate effectively from design to reality while managing the practical challenges of home building projects.
Design Services
Our design process begins with understanding client aspirations and site constraints. We create detailed plans that balance aesthetic appeal with functional requirements, offering both initial sketches and developed drawings. From contemporary extensions to traditional renovations, our designs maximise space potential while respecting architectural context and client preferences.
Feasibility Studies
Before design work begins, we conduct thorough assessments of project viability. This includes evaluating site constraints, potential costs, and regulatory considerations. Our feasibility studies help clients understand what's possible with their property, providing clear guidance on opportunities and limitations before committing to full architectural services.
