Choosing the right architectural designer

For most home projects, you don’t need an ARB-registered architecture firm.

For house extensions, loft conversions and home alterations, an experienced residential architectural designer can prepare the planning and Building Regulations drawings you need.

Learn about our architectural designer service

ARB-registered architecture firm vs architectural designer

ARB-registered architecture firm

Often provides a wider design service for complex, large-scale or specialist projects, with fees that reflect that broader scope.

Residential architectural designer

Focuses on the planning and technical drawings needed for extensions, loft conversions and other domestic alterations.

Why our fees are lower

We specialise in domestic projects and run a small, focused studio. Every drawing is prepared by the director, without the overheads or junior handoffs of a larger architectural practice.

Why choose us

More than a decade of London residential drawings — done properly.

We're a small practice, which means you deal directly with the architectural designer drafting your project. No junior handoffs, no call-centre queues, no surprises on the invoice.

Fixed, transparent pricing

Quoted up front. No surprise hourly billing.

Fast turnaround

5–7 days typical from survey to issued drawings.

Across all London boroughs

Every borough, every project type since 2014.
