Architecture for London

Architecture for London are award winning, RIBA Chartered Architects and designers, dedicated to the creation of better buildings and places. 

We find solutions to the critical questions facing the city today: how might we best build homes in London, what makes our workplaces fit for the 21st century, and how should we reinvigorate our public spaces so that they engage and excite? Our private residential projects include house extensions, basements and loft conversions at all scales. A rational and pragmatic approach to each commission is combined with a desire to delight, forming spaces and places that bring joy. 

We take pride in a tailored and personal approach. We listen to our clients, seek elegant answers to their questions and add unexpected value through creative design. The success of each project is driven by a precise management of budget, programme and quality, resulting in a smooth and reliable process from initial concept to completion. 

Environmental impact is a key consideration in our work. We take a research based, fabric first approach to sustainability and we offer a unique Healthy Homes design service. Director Ben Ridley is a Certified Passivhaus Designer.
