Featured Reviews for Architects in London, UK

Browning Architects Ltd
Architects in London, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2016
“I have worked with Oliver over the last 3years. Most recently however he as acted as architect & project manager on a project in London. This has involved converting a house into 4 flats. Oliver always takes a considered approach to dealing with contractors. Something which is invaluable to any client in an industry which has a number of dodgy operators. Oliver has been instrumental in ensuring that payments are released only on work completed and has firm but flexible way of working which ensures that the project runs smoothly. I hope to do more projects together in the future.”
Go Plans
Architects in London, UK
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.”
Callender Howorth Interior & Architectural Design
Architects in London, UK
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.”
VC Design Architectural Services
Architects in London, UK
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.”
KMI London Ltd
Architects in London, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 October 2018
“A company with a conscience! Kal, Vladi and the team at KMI were committed to getting it right for us from the start to the end. Excellent workmanship and attention to detail and they were professional and reliable during the 6-week project. I am looking forward to calling on the team again for building and decorating works in the future.”
Francesco Pierazzi Architects
Architects in London, UK
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.”
Ensoul Ltd
Architects in London, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 August 2015
“We have worked with Ensoul very closely on several projects, they have a unique ability to blend beautiful contemporary design with innovative home automation solutions. They are design led with a clear understanding of what is possible technically and I can highly recommend them to work on any home renovation project, from the relatively small to extremely large and complex.”
MODEL Projects Ltd
Architects in London, UK
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.”
DASH
Architects in London, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 August 2017
“I worked with JF Projects on a couple of projects and Jonathan is great at getting things done on time and within budget. He provides solutions which has brought us a lot of savings. He gets the liaising done between the Client and the Design Team so that we can just get on with the work. He also looks out for issues with the project before they arrise so that they do not slow the job down. I would recommend working with him and his team.”
Appropriate Design Solutions
Architects in London, UK
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.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your London architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

  • Answer a few questions about your project to get matched with a local architect for free. Enter your postcode above to get started.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in London can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in London during initial consultations.
