All architectural work is carried out by architects registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) or chartered with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), and we coordinate closely with our dedicated extension build team so design and construction stay joined‑up from day one.
We take care of the planning route – from Lawful Development Certificates for three‑metre projects to prior‑approval applications for six‑metre schemes – using our experience with boroughs such as Haringey Council’s planning team, Lambeth Council’s planning service and Brent Council planning to shape proposals around what local councils typically support.
Throughout, we keep communication simple and regular so you always know where your project is and what’s coming next, aiming for a bright, well‑built Clapham extension that quickly becomes the main room everyone uses.

Innovative Clapham Extensions Crafted with Exceptional Architecture
Our Clapham architects create smart, sustainable extensions that suit your space perfectly.
Wraparound
We specialise in wrap-around extensions. This is a popular way to expand and transform properties. This extension combines a rear and side addition. It creates an L-shape that expands ground-floor space. This is ideal for open-plan kitchens, living spaces, or adaptable rooms that fit modern lifestyles. We handle everything from design and planning permission to construction.
Single Storey
A single-storey extension can really boost space in your Clapham property. It can be added to the back or side of the property. This addition offers more space for a modern kitchen, a living area, or a home office. This extension improves the flow inside and makes the property more practical. Our architectural team makes it easy for you to get great results that suit your property.
Multi Storey
A multi-storey extension in Clapham can provide a lot of space. You can use it for extra bedrooms, bigger living areas, or more bathrooms. Building up on your property lets you make the most of it without losing any garden space. We take care of everything. This includes planning, permissions, and construction. We ensure your extension fits well with the current architecture.
Side Return
A side return extension utilises the unused space beside your home. You often find this addon in Victorian and Edwardian buildings in Clapham. Clients can extend into this narrow area to make a wider, open-plan kitchen. This change will let in more natural light. Our architects are experts in side return extensions. These designs boost functionality and add to the property’s value.
Rear Extension
A rear extension expands the back of your property. This gives you room for an open-plan kitchen, a larger dining area, or a more spacious living room. This is ideal for clients looking to improve their ground floor. These extensions boost natural light and link indoor and outdoor spaces smoothly. We create rear extensions that match your home’s style. They also boost efficiency and value.
