About Urbanist Architecture Ltd
A London-based practice helping home owners, businesses and developers get planning permission and design their properties.

Whether you’re planning on building a new home, adding an extension or just want to remodel your existing property, we are here to help.
We here at Urbanist Architecture specialise in planning applications, architectural design and interior design, and work primarily on residential projects including renovations, extensions and new build homes.
We are large enough to have a breadth of expertise across areas of UK planning law, residential architecture and interiors. We are also small enough for each of our clients to be very important to us. This means that we can provide you the most professional advice and service with the personal touch that will work with your requirements and expectations.
You probably already know that Urbanist Architecture is one of the London's top rated architecture practices. Last year alone, we helped more than a hundred UK homeowners, businesses and property developers. You can join them too!
