Urbanist Architecture is an RIBA chartered architecture firm in London with offices in Greenwich and Belgravia. With a dedicated focus in proven design and planning strategies, and expertise in residential extensions, conversions and new build homes, we help homeowners, landowners and developers achieve ROI-focused results.
Our multidisciplinary team consists of highly talented RIBA chartered London architects, ex-local authority planning consultants, RTPI chartered town planners and interior designers. Although we’re large enough to have a breadth of expertise in UK planning law and residential architecture, we’re also small enough for each of our clients to be very important to us.
As a multi award-winning top architecture firm in London, we have built a reputation for unlocking the potential of challenging sites and buildings, and delivering successful projects across the UK for ambitious, high-achieving and purpose-driven property entrepreneurs. So, if you’re interested in massively effective projects that are delivered on time and need minimal revisions, you’re going to love working with us.
Whether it is a house in a conservation area, a small plot in an urban setting or a large plot in a greenfield site, we specialise in crafting creative design and planning strategies to unlock the potential of challenging sites and buildings.
As the demands of life change, our homes need to evolve to fulfil different needs. Whether you want to build a spacious, light-filled home extension or add an extra bedroom to accommodate your growing family, we’ll turn your ideas into beautifully designed extensions that complement what your home already has to offer. As architects in London, we’ll create the best ideal extension layouts with maximum square footage. [Learn More]
UK property values have grown exponentially for over 450 years, the only exceptions being during the world wars. The rental market is becoming increasingly popular, especially in London and the Home Counties, due to high employment rates and demand for flats. Initially, converting houses into flats may seem rather daunting but as experienced RIBA chartered architects and planning consultants, we know exactly how to design and deliver exceptional results for you.

The days when you could rely on the government or your company to help fund your retirement are long gone, meaning you’re on your own to save for retirement.

As London architects specialising in property conversions, we’ll maximise your positive cash flow, boost the value of your property and quadruple your rental incomes. [Learn More]
Getting planning permission and listed building consent can be a lengthy, complicated process but we know how to take all of the complexity in planning permission and simplify it while adding aesthetics, functionality and value to listed buildings. As London architects specialising in listed buildings, our strengths include knowledge of all aspects of heritage design and planning permission for listed buildings applications, especially in the boroughs of Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Greenwich and Camden.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re looking for “architects near me”, then we think you’ve come to the right place. Even if you’re not actually that near us on the map. Our headquarters is located in south London, and we feel rooted in the local community, but we’ve worked all over the UK and far beyond. We’re a 21st-century architecture practice (est. 2013), so we see physical distance as a barrier that can always be overcome.
Yes, we’re a London architecture firm – but that also means it should come as no surprise that our architects, planning consultants and interior designers were born in three different continents, and are comfortable in talking at least a half-dozen languages. We’re localists and internationalists.
We’re also proudly a small architecture firm in London. We think the personal touch is crucial – if you hire us to design your new home or extension or loft conversion or renovation or block of flats or development, you will have our full attention.
We only ever take on a limited number of clients because we know you deserve our complete focus on your project. Nothing is more disheartening than ringing up an architecture company working on something close to your heart and realising they have no idea who you are. We promise that will never happen with us.
Since we believe that every project is different, we believe that every client deserves a unique approach – we tackle every project with fresh eyes and original ideas in order to deliver designs that are completely bespoke, completely yours. Interiors, buildings, landscapes, towns and cities... We are truly passionate about all aspects of the environment in which we live. The most important thing to us as architects is designing places that people can live in, work in, and love.
The design projects we focus on range from house extensions and renovation projects to mixed-use master plans and urban regeneration projects, which include residential developments, commercial and retail schemes, and hospitality and leisure schemes. With professional care and attention, we work across all fields of interior design, architecture, planning and urban design.
Our diverse client base includes homeowners, community groups, local businesses, private companies, regeneration agencies, landowners and real estate developers. We guide them through every step of the project from concept through to completion. So whatever you’re looking for from an architecture firm from London – whether you yourself live or work in the capital or not – we can handle it (and we’ll always remember your name).
