Residential Architecture
Our residential architecture service creates tailored living spaces that balance functionality with aesthetic appeal. We specialise in designing homes that respond to both client needs and environmental context. Our approach combines technical expertise with creative vision to deliver architecturally significant properties across London and the South of England.
New Builds
We design and deliver complete new build properties from initial concept through to construction. Our process includes site analysis, planning applications, and detailed architectural specifications. Each new build project receives individual attention to create distinctive homes that maximise spatial potential while adhering to regulatory requirements.
Refurbishments
Our comprehensive refurbishment service transforms existing properties through complete layout reconfiguration and modernisation. This includes updating electrical and plumbing systems, creating new bathroom and kitchen installations, and implementing bespoke joinery solutions. Most projects also incorporate extensions to enhance both functionality and architectural coherence.
Extensions
We design bespoke property extensions that respect original architecture while meeting contemporary living needs. Our solutions include rear and side extensions tailored to each property's context. Each design responds to site-specific conditions and client requirements, creating seamless transitions between existing structures and new additions.

We provide expert architectural guidance throughout the project lifecycle. Our consultation service covers planning strategy, material selection, and construction detailing. Clients benefit from our deep understanding of local planning regulations and our commitment to delivering design solutions that enhance both property value and living experience.
