Residential Architects in London
Residential Architecture
PML Architecture provides architectural design and project support for homeowners looking to extend, refurbish or transform their properties across London.
Whether you are considering a substantial rear extension, a loft conversion or a comprehensive renovation, we work with you to develop a design that responds to your home, your requirements and the way you want to live.
Our approach combines thoughtful design with practical consideration of planning requirements, construction methods and project budgets.
Extensions and Home Transformations
A successful residential project should do more than simply add floor space. It should improve how your home works, introduce natural light, create better connections between rooms and make the most of the property’s potential.
We can help with a range of residential projects, including:
- House extensions – Rear, side and wraparound extensions that create additional living space and improve the relationship between the house and garden.
- Loft conversions – Making better use of roof space to provide bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices or other accommodation.
- Whole-house refurbishments – Replanning and updating existing homes to improve their layout, functionality and appearance.
- Internal alterations – Reconfiguring kitchens, living areas and other spaces to suit changing requirements.
- Residential remodelling – Combining extensions and alterations into a coordinated design for the whole property.

From Initial Ideas to Construction
Every property and homeowner is different, so we begin by understanding what you want to achieve and the opportunities and constraints of the existing building.
1. Understanding your project
We discuss your objectives, accommodation requirements, design preferences and anticipated budget while considering the opportunities, constraints and features of your existing property.
2. Developing the design
We explore architectural options for your property, considering layouts, light, materials and the relationship between new and existing spaces, and provide concepts, ideas and designs which improve how your home looks, feels and functions.
3. Planning and approvals
We prepare architectural information for planning applications, develop the design to address the relevant regulatory requirements and help guide your project through the necessary approvals.
4. Preparing for construction
We can develop technical drawings details and documentation and coordinate with other consultants to help translate the approved design into a buildable project.
5. Obtaining Builders’ Quotations
We help identify suitable building contractors, issue tender information, obtain quotations and compare proposals so you can make an informed decision when appointing your builder.
6. Construction Phase Monitoring and Support
Once building works commence, we can provide ongoing architectural support, attend site meetings, review progress, arrange construction phase information, and help address issues that arise during construction.
7. Completion and Handover
As the project approaches completion, we can assist with reviewing outstanding works, resolving final queries and helping bring the project to a successful conclusion.
Why Choose PML Architecture?
We believe residential architecture should balance design ambition with the practical realities of adapting an existing property.
Our aim is to create beautiful and well considered spaces that improve everyday living, respond to the character of the building and provide lasting value. By considering the wider property rather than treating each alteration in isolation, we seek to develop coherent designs that make the most of the available space.
