What makes Richmond Special?

Richmond's vast open spaces, including the renowned Richmond Park and the distinctive Kew Gardens, combined with its rich historical and natural beauty, create an ideal setting for fascinating developments. This deep-rooted heritage has fostered a strong pro-conservation stance from the local authority, making the process of obtaining planning permission for house extensions and loft conversions in Richmond particularly complex yet evermore rewarding

Richmond upon Thames is known for its affluent, suburban charm, exemplified by its remarkable Georgian architecture. This style, known for its symmetry and classic aesthetic, often features buildings made of brick or stone.

The borough’s unique village-like atmosphere is further enriched by the blend of Georgian, Regency, and Victorian architectural styles. To preserve and enhance its architectural and historical character, Richmond has designated 85 conservation areas, providing additional protection to buildings and sites of significant architectural merit.

Even if your property is not within one of the designated conservation areas, be aware that the planning department in Richmond will still present challenges in achieving your goals for your home. Extension Architecture is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you navigate these complexities with expert architectural advice. As a leading planning consultant in Richmond, we are adept at understanding these preservation efforts and ensuring that your projects align with the borough’s distinctive heritage.

How we work in this area

Our Architectural services in Richmond

Home Extensions in Richmond

Richmond architects are mostly hired for house extensions, loft extensions and refurbishments, mainly because the homeowners rarely consider relocating in the future.

Every day people are looking at ways to not only increase their property’s value but also improve the comfort and functionality of their living spaces. Consequently, architectural firms in Richmond are in high demand.

House Extension, Richmond (Single-storey and double-storey extensions)

House extensions in Richmond should be well thought-out and carefully planned. When done correctly, extensions can greatly benefit the homeowners. At Extension Architecture, we value any scale home extension equally as any home improvement is completely personal with intention to improve your lifestyle.

In one of our recent projects on Buckingham Close, the clients sought to replace their conservatory with a more sustainable living solution by option for a single storey rear extension.

They envisioned an open floor plan that featured a larger kitchen and dining area, ideal for hosting guests and enjoying expansive garden views. With toddlers in mind, they also wanted to include flexible open spaces that could serve as a playroom with ample storage for now, and later be adapted into study or work areas as their children grow.

Loft Extensions, Richmond

Loft Extensions are the go-to solution for the homeowners who do not just desire living spaces but also value comfort and privacy! One such experience we had in Richmond was when the client not only wanted to opt for a Single Storey Wraparound Extension but also a Loft Conversion. This helped in tremendously increasing the value of the property in the area and that extra Master Bedroom with En Suite in the loft made our client’s lives much more comfortable.

Although there were no restrictions such as Greenbelt or Conservation Areas in this particular zone of Richmond, the property was situated in a Flood Risk Zone, which required us to carefully consider drainage and water runoff.

For the ground floor wraparound extension, we adopted a thoughtful approach to be consistent with the existing building lines of neighbouring properties, ensuring the rear elevation complemented the surrounding context.

The street scene featured a recurring design theme of brick and white render. It was essential to maintain this character while integrating contemporary elements into the design, ensuring that the new extension aligns with the established materials and overall character of the area.

Extension Architecture’s Richmond Planning Applications are publicly accessible to view online through the Royal Borough of Richmond’s planning application search.

You will find some of our projects on Coval Road, Buckingham Close, Deanhill Road, Selkirk Road and Avenue Gardens.

As the leading Richmond Architects, we offer a comprehensive suite of services encompassing planning, architectural design, and detailed interior and immersive design, while expertly managing the complexities of the construction process. With a multidisciplinary team of seasoned professionals and dedicated designers, we have successfully completed thousands of planning applications across the UK. We take pride in transforming properties into dream spaces, maintaining a steadfast commitment to exceptional design and client satisfaction.

In-house Structural Engineer

What distinguishes us in this competitive market is our in-house structural engineer—an asset that only 1 in 20 firms can offer. This unique advantage helps us avoid the delays and additional costs associated with consulting multiple specialists. By having a structural engineer on our team, we ensure a fully integrated and seamless design-build process, minimizing contingencies and preventing design inaccuracies.

Turkey Approach

We support our clients throughout the entire building process with a ‘turnkey approach,’ ensuring a smooth and efficient project from inception to completion. Additionally, we assist in reducing build costs by facilitating the procurement of all internal fit-outs, including sanitaryware, kitchens, and more.

Interior Design + Architecture

Our team also includes interior designers who work closely with clients, particularly the women of the household, to create dream spaces tailored to their specific needs. This process involves essential yet enjoyable tasks such as selecting wall finishes, colour schemes, soft furnishings, flooring, and layout. By having architects and interior designers working together under one roof, we provide a more cohesive experience with fewer contingencies, ensuring a more comfortable and streamlined journey for our clients.
