Architects who know Twickenham and Teddington
Twickenham and Teddington are in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, which has many conservation areas and places strong emphasis on design quality and riverside character. We have delivered projects elsewhere in the borough, including a residential development in Richmond, so we know how the council approaches design.
Conservation areas and local character we work with include Twickenham Riverside, Strawberry Hill and Teddington’s riverside and high-street areas. In these streets, the success of an application depends on getting the details right: rooflines, window proportions, materials and the way a rear extension sits against its neighbours. We prepare drawings, heritage statements and design and access statements that planning officers can say yes to.
What we do in Twickenham and Teddington
- Extensions: rear, side-return, wraparound and kitchen extensions. See house extension architects.
- Loft conversions and mansards: dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard designs, including in conservation areas.

How a project works
- Free 30-minute call: we discuss your brief, budget and timescale.
- Site visit and feasibility: what is possible under permitted development or planning, and any heritage constraints.
- Design and planning: options, 3D visuals, then the planning or listed building consent application.
- Technical design: building regulations drawings, structural coordination and specifications for tender.
- On site: contract administration and site visits so the build matches the design and specification.
Why clients choose us
We are a RIBA Chartered Practice with a background that few residential architects have: heritage projects on listed palazzi in Milan and Florence, and design management for a main contractor in London. That means designs that get approved and are practical to build. Clients regularly mention our clear communication and our site checks on things like insulation specification, which protect the quality of the finished work.
We also work across neighbouring areas, including Richmond, Kingston, Hampton and Chiswick.
