Architecture for London are RIBA Chartered architects dedicated to the creation of inspirational architecture and interiors. Our combined design and construction service ensures that each project meets the exacting requirements of our clients.

This Grade II listed villa in Barnsbury, Islington was extended and refurbished to create a home with generous spaces for gathering and family life.

The rear extension is a bright stone pavilion imagined as a modern orangery. Agglomerate stone forms a plinth upon which limestone piers and a carved niche rise to form the structure of the extension. Heavy oak framed glazing follows the proportions of the historic facade with a large pivot hinge door opening onto the terrace.

Externally an oversized concrete header was honed to reveal limestone quarried in Derbyshire, its visual weight suggesting permanence. Contact us if you are seeking London residential architects for a similar refurbishment or extension. Project architect: Amrit Marway.

This Grade II listed house in the Holly Grove Conservation Area, Peckham has been reinvented with a new skin of tonal and textural variety​​​. Our London architects renovated the entire property, upgrading its thermal performance, interior and services, while retaining its historic character.

On the lower ground floor, the open plan space accommodates a kitchen and dining room with a utilitarian, industrial aesthetic: a new stainless steel kitchen is combined with exposed structural steels, lime rendered brickwork and a retained floated concrete floor. Project architect: Amrit Marway.

This Grade II listed property in Hampstead, north London, was extended and refurbished to create a unique family home. It is one of a collection of Arts and Crafts houses on a crescent adjacent to Hampstead Heath, built in 1884 and designed by renowned Victorian architect EJ May.

The new rear extension embraces Arts & Crafts principles of simple forms, authentic materials and meticulous craftsmanship. A common material palette of red brick and Buscot limestone ties the new addition to the existing house. The powder-coated steel, triple-glazed Secco doors and roof lantern complete the glazing to the extension. A basement wine cellar features oak joinery throughout. Project architects: Sophie Campbell, Amrit Marway.

This Georgian house was refurbished and extended for an art historian and a museum curator. The property is Grade II listed and situated in the Barnsbury Conservation Area. The clients' brief called for interiors that blend the contemporary with the classic. This led to a design inspired by Jim Ede’s approach at Kettle’s Yard, with both modern and antique furniture, fittings, finishes and objects.

Our RIBA Chartered London architects designed the interior spaces as places to entertain, raise a family, think, read, and write. Reclaimed finishes were used where possible including stone to the rear patio and bricks to the new side wall. The original rear outrigger was insulated internally to improve the thermal performance. Project Architect: Amrit Marway.

Our clients purchased this mid-terrace Georgian townhouse in Bow, east London, at auction. The property had been split into bedsits and was in a dilapidated condition. We were tasked with restoration and retrofitting to create a warm and comfortable, low energy family home.

Despite the challenges of a low energy refurbishment of a Grade 2 listed house in a conservation area, our London architects achieved internal wall and roof insulation and improved airtightness throughout. MVHR provides heat recovery and fresh filtered air throughout the home. Project architect: Titas Grikevičius.

Our ARB registered architects have a wealth of experience with heritage Grade I and Grade II listed homes, and alterations to properties in sensitive settings and conservation areas throughout London.

For more information, see our recent projects in Islington, Camden, Hackney, Westminster, Hammersmith and Fulham, Tower Hamlets, Haringey, Richmond, Southwark, Barnet, Lambeth, Wimbledon, Greenwich, Kensington and Chelsea. Many of these projects combine conservation with house extensions and low energy refurbishment.

We have a track record of negotiating and achieving listed building consents for contentious schemes, including the substantial refurbishment of a Grade I listed Georgian building in a conservation area on the Grosvenor Estate. We have also extended a house in a St Johns Wood conservation area with a large basement under the existing property. Project Architects: Amrit Marway, Matt McKenna, Ben Ridley.

This Belsize Park house extension and refurbishment transforms an 1850's semi-detached villa in north London, to create a contemporary, sustainable home. A two-storey rear extension improves family living space in both the raised ground floor dining room and the lower ground floor reception rooms.

The house is fossil fuel free, with both space heating and hot water demand met by air source heat pump. A photovoltaic panel array and storage battery provide renewable electricity. An MVHR system supplies fresh, filtered air throughout the house.

A two storey house extension in west London creates a bright new family space from a previously dark lower ground floor. The large glass box extension floods the space below with natural light, while allowing views to the rear from a new study at raised ground floor. A bespoke kitchen is created in douglas fir timber and polished concrete.

A timber stair now descends through a newly created double height space to form a dramatic entrance. The entire lower ground floor is finished in end-grain parquet blocks. Full-width timber framed sliding doors lead to the garden, which is newly landscaped in Portland Roach stone. If you are seeking an architecture practice for a similar residential project, we'd be delighted to help.

This low energy extension and refurbishment of an Edwardian house in Muswell Hill has created a comfortable, low energy home. The original structure of the property was revealed, its modest beauty celebrated.

Energy requirements are reduced dramatically by following Passivhaus principles of insulating, triple-glazing and improving airtightness. New additions include a rear extension and a loft conversion.

This project aims to be an exemplar for the sustainable refurbishment of a typical terraced home in London, with a constrained budget. Both embodied energy and energy in-use have been considered in depth. All works were completed under permitted development rights.

For our sustainable retrofit projects, we typically use the Passivhaus overlay of the RIBA Plan of Work to map out the Sustainability Core Tasks at each stage of the project.

This 1960s house in Primrose Hill is one of only two detached properties in a Modernist estate of painted brick courtyard houses and small terraces. The house is uniquely surrounded on three sides by communal landscaped gardens.

Our London architects removed unsympathetic alterations and created open plan living spaces internally. The key to this courtyard house is the relationship between the living spaces and the private rear garden. This is enhanced with a large picture window in the kitchen extension and full-height sliding timber doors in the living area.
