    We are glad we found Armstrong Simmonds Architects to help us on our first project. We had bought a run-down terraced house near Clapham Common with the goal of extending and refurbing to increase value. John initially impressed us by first listening carefully to what we wanted to do, then showing us creative ways to achieve the results and finish we were looking for.

    Safe to say we certainly have managed that and both John and Alan have been instrumental in doing so. The guidance and consideration at every step have exceeded our expectations and Alan’s attention to detail during the build has been critical for the high standards we have set for this project.

    They have provided us with a service which reflects every stage of the design and build. Starting with the initial drawings, schedule of works, tendering and interior design. We also employed ASA for Contract Administration to be the key middle-man between us and the builder, which they were happy to help.

    We are now underway with our second project with ASA and they have been able to deliver the final drawings for planning within a fairly tight time frame, without hindering on quality. I know the whole team worked hard to help bring our vision to life and it’s been brilliant working with them over the last 18 months. They have shown a great ability to solve any issues that arose quickly and are able to communicate effectively with different contractors at all levels. I have no doubt the next redevelopment project will go well.

    We chose Alan and John for our extensive project and incredibly pleased with that choice and the result. We have a Victorian terraced house and wanted to do a classic loft conversion and ground floor extension. The Armstrong Simmonds team provided a vision which achieved our goals, but with a design we could have never have thought of ourselves which we love. We used them from start to finish and are incredibly glad we did. Alan supported us through the tender and renovation processes, and we are incredibly pleased with the end-product and the quality of work of builder Cezar of Vecchini. We would highly recommend Armstrong Simmonds for their vision, design thoughtfulness and exceptional assistance through the project. Thanks team!

    We worked with Alan and the team from Armstrong Simmonds for 3 years from start to finish to achieve the full renovation of a London townhouse. It was a challenging brief given the nature of the property but collectively what has been achieved is an outstanding end result. Alan and John thoughtfully incorporated our vision with the realities of converting an old Victorian house and the scrupulous attention to detail, symmetry and balance achieved in the design were instrumental in us choosing Armstrong Simmonds in the first place.

    In addition Alan supported us through the tender and during the renovation working with our excellent builder Cezar of Vecchini to deliver the brief. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a team to turning your vision to the end product with a very high attention to detail while still being good humoured and a generally great guy to work with. Thanks again team. Dom and Kamilla

    John and his team have been brilliant to work with for our full house renovation and extension in SW London. Our house is quite unique and that combined with it being in a conservation area we knew it wouldn’t be a straight forward planning process – but Armstrong Simmonds did a fantastic job and helped us navigate us through every step. We couldn’t be happier with the detailed design and outcome.

    How We Transform Your Ideas Into Reality

    Our architects studio will carry out a detailed survey of your property from which we can produce a comprehensive set of existing drawings. In close collaboration with our clients, we then develop the initial concept designs. This process is iterative and multiple ideas will emerge. We also use digital 3D models to assist our clients’ visual understanding and enhance the design process. Once the client is satisfied with the proposals and we have submitted the planning drawings, the next step involves producing a highly detailed set of technical drawings through coordination with a structural engineer and other relevant design specialists. We also provide tendering and on-site services to ensure the plans are converted into reality. Communication is an important part of our process as an architecture firm. We will guide you along, each step of the way, to deliver your dream home.

    Transforming Visions into Reality: Unique Architecture from the Studio of Armstrong Simmonds Architects

    At Armstrong Simmonds Architects, we have a wealth of experience working on residential projects of varying sizes with challenging planning and on-site conditions. Our experienced team at our architectural firm will work closely with you from concept design to completion to ensure your project aspirations are met. As an architect studio London, we look to deliver high end design outcomes, whether they are modern or traditional, with a deep consideration for aesthetics and functionality. We aim to do more than extend the footprint of your property by implementing creative design solutions which modernise the fabric, interior architecture, and performance of your home. Each client is different and has varying design aspirations; we will aim to develop a design solution tailored to your specific style. Whether you are looking to upgrade your property to a contemporary style or create a modern blend which complements the historic architecture, our architects studio will work closely with you to achieve this.

    Most of our projects deliver bespoke architectural features which have been carefully designed to fit uniquely into your home. These items typically include bespoke glazing, joinery, staircases, lighting, landscaping and much more. We put particular emphasis on glazing; at Armstrong Simmonds Architects, the design expertise of our architect studio allows us to identify how best to incorporate glazing elements into your project to transform what are often dark existing properties. Maximising the presence of sunlight can help to keep your home warm and in turn minimise your energy consumption. These glazing elements are designed in collaboration with glazing specialists to suit design needs.

    If you are looking for design inspiration, look no further! Our architecture firm has worked on a variety of projects within London and can guide you through the design process. This process is not only about getting approval for your planning submission, but also making sure we work together to achieve your vision. We do this by working with you to understand your design sensibilities from the outset, then we take you along the concept development journey; sharing updates about the design brought to life using 3D imagery. If you do not have a particular vision in mind, our team can assist you with that during the briefing process. We can provide interior design services or collaborate with an interior designer to achieve the outcomes you desire. This sets the stage for transforming your dream home into reality.
