      Why Consider a Basement Conversion in Wandsworth

      Maximise your home’s potential – without building upwards

This approach allows you to enhance your living space and improve your property’s market value with minimal impact on its original character.

      Natural Light, Smart Design

      • avoiding closed-off layouts in favour of open, airy plans
      • incorporating generous glazing, lightwells, and clever lighting strategies

      Michael van Ree
      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.
      Linda Roberts
      Architects Armstrong Simmonds were appointed by us to turn our concept of open plan living into reality, which they did with extraordinary vision and design flair. The AS team listened carefully to our ideas and transformed an ordinary detached house into a breathtakingly beautiful home that offered light, space and a lifestyle that exactly reflected our needs and requirements. AS worked closely with us and our builder, and their focus to detail in the design and build was impressive. This young architectural practice in our opinion, offers something more. They listen, understand and are unique in their ability to conceptualise, plan and build with imagination, whilst considering aesthetics and functionality. Linda and Allan Roberts ...>>
      Rowena Carter
      I cannot recommend Armstrong and Simmonds architects highly enough. Within minutes of John meeting us at our home he had understood our brief and was sharing a vision that ticked all of our boxes.We had met with other architects who did not inspire us and told us the shape we wanted for our extension would not be possible. John had excellent knowledge of the local planning rules, researched planning submissions in the immediate area and was confident that he would get our application through - and he did! During the detailed design process John and his team listened closely to how we wanted to use the space. He came up with many design features and solutions to save costs and keep our dream design within our budget. Throughout the process they delivered an innovative plan that felt personal to us in a professional and timely manner. We found John and his team to be responsive, helpful and caring. They went above and beyond to get our project over the line and I have no hesitation in recommending the firm to anyone looking at home extension/improvement. We would not look anywhere else for any future builds! ...>>
      Rebecca Wheelhouse
      We had a fantastic experience with John and the team at Armstrong Simmonds. We have a beautiful home and would happily use them for our next project.... hopefully even bigger next time! Flawless from beginning to end, I thoroughly recommend them.
