Why choose Urbanist Architecture?

Two architects collaborating at a wooden desk in a modern office setting at Urbanist Architecture, a small RIBA chartered architecture firm in London. One woman with curly brown hair and glasses stands while pointing at architectural elevation drawings displayed on a large monitor, while another woman with straight blonde hair sits at the desk. The screen shows detailed building facade designs with multiple stories and varied window configurations. Papers and documents are spread across the wooden desk surface, along with a black keyboard, demonstrating the collaborative design process typical of professional architectural practice.

Small enough to care, large enough to deliver extraordinary value

We aren’t a mega-corporation. We are smaller, so close interaction is at the heart of what we do. By dedicating ourselves to a smaller number of clients, we work side by side with you to achieve precise attention to detail. This structure enables us to obtain high-quality and extraordinarily personalised results for you.

The 6-step proven system to secure planning permission with ease

Our unique six-step sequential model of planning system incorporates safeguards for many of the pitfalls and failings of typical planning applications.

Creative residential design solutions to achieve excellence

The cutaway view reveals meticulously planned interior layouts across four levels, from ground floor retail space to rooftop terrace with green landscaping.

BIM-based interactive collaboration to attain 100% accuracy

We use the latest BIM technology to integrate artistic skills with smart technology. This creates an intuitive design process so your project is almost a prototype before it’s built. You will be able to visualise the layout and quality of your space, annotate the drawings and provide feedback throughout the process.

Agile project management to balance quality, cost and time

A construction project will always involve tricky choices between quality, cost and time. From the beginning, we make sure that we understand what your priorities are, advise you on the best path to achieving them, and keep them in mind as we continue to juggle quality, time and cost on your behalf.
