Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in London.

XAMI Architecture & Design
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 May 2017
“I photographed Bernard's remodelling and interior design of a flat in North London. The work on show and Bernard's approach to the shoot demonstrated his eye for design, his attention to detail, and his very pleasant and professional attitude. He has a background working on big-budget international projects, which is evident in his meticulous approach, but as someone to work with he remains down to earth, approachable and collaborative.”
Go Plans
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 December 2022
“Our experience with Go plans has been excellent. They arranged a home visit at very short notice, listened to our suggestions and compiled the initial drawings relatively quickly. They also successfully handled the whole planning permission process for us and provided a very fast and professional response to the requests and changes requested by the planning officer. We would definitely use them again for future work.”
MODEL Projects Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 January 2014
“Model Projects were a delight, from the initial brief with James who immediately took my requirements and turned them into a fantastic design - spot on first time with no amendments necessary. Kathryn then took over on a day to day basis as project manager and I cannot praise her highly enough. Dealing with the local authority, building control, structural engineers and the many contractors was done with calm and determination and I now have my dream space.”
VC Design Architectural Services
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 August 2014
“VC Design was recommended to me and I would do the same without hesitation. We contacted Veronica about drawing up plans for our ground floor extension and although conceptually we had a clear idea of what we wanted to she was invaluable in advising us how to best use the space and our options within the parameters of planning. She also contacted previous clients and arranged for us to see the work they had done, this allowed us to see first hand some of the ideas we had discussed. Veronica submitted the planning application and we have now received our approval - a job very well done.”
Callender Howorth Interior & Architectural Design
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars15 December 2014
“Callender Howorth provided us with a full design and project management service for an extension and full refurb of our maisonette. They liaised with planners, architects, building contractors, kitchen companies and advised on sourcing of materials and interior furnishings. The project took 1 year from conception to completion. The people at CH were creative, professional and importantly a pleasure to work with. I would and have recommended them successfully to friends.”
Francesco Pierazzi Architects
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 June 2014
“Innovative design ideas with precise attention to detail. FP provided a thorough service from design to project management (including liaising with builder throughout project; obtaining planning permission; managing payment schedules). Good source of knowledge and advice for furnishings and fittings. Some expensive tastes...! Very nice to deal with and would reccomend without any hesitation.”
Beacham Architects
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 June 2018
“We engaged Beacham Architects to assist us in planning and designing a ground-floor extension to our family home. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike in the design phase, during which he spent time listening to and understanding our goals and budget. He then presented us with a range of options for making better use of our downstairs space and garden and worked closely with our builder to ensure that the chosen design was properly implemented. Mike's assistance was also invaluable in the process of obtaining planning permission. We are absolutely delighted with the results of the work, which has created a light and flexible kitchen and family area at the rear of our home, as well as incorporating the garden, which now feels like a further extension of our living space.”
Design Spec Ltd

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2016
“Extremely pleased with the service we received from James at New World Designers Ltd. He couldn't have been more helpful, visiting us on numerous occasions to discuss what we wanted, offering ideas and suggestions and saying what was or wasn't possible. He also kept in regular contact throughout the whole process to keep us informed of what was happening. We will definitely be using them again and can't recommend them highly enough.”
Appropriate Design Solutions

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 September 2020
“Chris was so helpful with his advice and guidance and very patient with our ever changing ideas. He made quite a daunting process of applying for planning permission, stress free and we are looking forward to working with him further as our project gets consent and we can start.”
A2studio
Architects & Building Designers in London.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 March 2016
“Claudia and Kerem from A2 Studio were the interior and architectural designers for a complete overhaul of a Victorian terraced house in Harringay. Scope of works included a side return extension, opening up of the ground floor layout, new kitchen, new bathroom, addition of a new understairs toilet and a loft dormer. A2 Studio were involved in the project from start to finish, even assisting us in finding the right property to suit our requirements for a home that would feel spacious and light, yet also provide cosy and intimate areas. As a result, our renovated house offers a great space for entertaining guests downstairs, a place for kids to sleep and play on the first floor, and a large and light-filled bedroom 'away from it all' at the top of the house. New aluminium framed glazing at the back of the house was a particular focus of the rebuild, and A2 Studio provided us with great suggestions for making sure we bring in as much light as possible into every part of the house. More specifically, a large skylight in the side return extension was important in achieving this, and the ground floor feels light and open during all seasons, even on dark and gloomy winter afternoons. From the outset Claudia showed great patience and fingerspitzengefuehl to ensure all our wishes were met. She was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process and helped us with design ideas ranging from issues such as kitchen work flow to a suitable lamp for our hallway. Kerem proved to be the detail and design-oriented architect we needed to fulfill our vision. He was happy to come to our work site to supervise progress and discussed all steps of the works carried out with our builders at great length, making sure we would get the end result we wished for. We found both Claudia and Kerem to be very professional, while also being extremely approachable and pleasant to work with. They always found the time to discuss ideas with us – even if that meant adding to or overhauling our initial design scope. We would highly recommend Claudia and Kerem as interior and architectural designers, whether it is for a complete rebuild of your home or a ground floor kitchen extension.”

An architect or building designer in London, UK can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your London, UK home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire London, UK general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in London, UK:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with
  • your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
