Architects in Barnet.
AH Architecture is a chartered practice working across Barnet, from Finchley, Edgware, Hendon to the surrounding area. We take a project from first idea to finished building: feasibility, planning, design and support on site, with one chartered point of contact throughout.
What we design in Barnet
Barnet is characterised by leafy suburban streets, 1930s semis and substantial detached homes. That shapes what most projects here need, and we work across all of it.
Extensions
Single and double storey, side, rear and wraparound extensions designed to be approved and buildable.
Loft conversions
Dormer, hip to gable and mansard lofts, including permitted development and lawful development certificates.
New build homes
One off houses and small residential schemes from feasibility through planning and technical design.
Planning applications
Householder, full and change of use applications, plus pre application strategy built around the local authority.
Listed and conservation
Listed building consent and conservation area work handled with the care and evidence these projects demand.
Commercial and mixed use
Offices, retail and mixed use schemes that balance commercial return with design that lasts.
Planning in Barnet
Approved is a local question.
Your application in Barnet is decided by Barnet Council, against its own local plan and policies. We design from those constraints first, because the same scheme can pass in one borough and be refused in another. Large parts of Barnet benefit from permitted development rights, which can unlock a loft or rear extension without a full application. Where Article 4 directions or local conditions remove those rights, we plan the route accordingly. We check what your specific address allows before anything is drawn.
Before you spend heavily, our free tools give you an instant read on what your address might allow and what it could cost, and a free Clarity Call gives you a chartered architect's honest view on whether the project works.
