Architects in Southwark.
AH Architecture is a chartered practice working across Southwark, from Peckham, Dulwich, Bermondsey 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 Southwark
Southwark is characterised by Georgian and Victorian terraces, warehouse conversions and historic Dulwich estate land. 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 Southwark
Approved is a local question.
Your application in Southwark is decided by Southwark 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. Much of Southwark sits within conservation areas, and some of it is listed, so even modest changes need careful design and often need listed building consent or conservation-area approval. We check the designation on your specific address 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.
