Homes designed to be built — and approved.
Led by RIBA Chartered Architect Alozie Nwankwo, with over 25 years' experience and more than 100 planning and statutory approvals for extensions, loft conversions, new homes and developments across South London.
Every project starts with a question: will the council say yes?
We design with the planning officer in the room. Each case study shows the constraint we were handed, the design response, and the decision — with the council's application reference so you can check it yourself.
A larger-than-usual single-storey side and rear extension, approved at the first attempt on a Green Belt site where extensions are tightly restricted. Ref 26/01544/HSE.
Planning permission and building control approval for a full-width rear extension with aluminium bi-fold doors on a mid-terrace house in SW19. Ref 21/P3482.
A timber-clad garden building shaped around a mature tree, with lighting that turns the garden into an evening space. Ref DM2018/00751.
From first sketch to signed-off build.
Design, planning and building regulations in one place, on a clear fixed-fee agreement. One architect, start to finish. How we work
