For over 35 years, Gregory Phillips Architects has been designing contemporary private homes of exceptional quality. Most are long-term family homes, bold in design but always easy to live in.

Alongside the careful transformation of existing homes, from period and listed buildings to suburban houses and city apartments, we have completed a substantial portfolio of large, modern one-off houses. That experience means we understand what it takes to guide a contemporary home through design and planning, and to see it detailed and built to an exacting standard.

We are a small, boutique practice, and every project is led by one of our senior architects, who sees it through from initial design to completion and gives every stage real time and care. Each has been with the practice for more than 15 years.Whether you are planning a new home or a significant renovation, or simply exploring what might be possible, we would welcome the chance to talk. Some of our best projects have begun with a conversation before the brief was fully formed.

Residential Architects

Our homes are defined by clarity of design, careful proportion and a real understanding of how families live day to day. The result is architecture that is expressive yet calm, and homes that support everyday life as well as special moments.

Each house is planned with its garden and landscape from the outset. We usually design the interiors alongside the architecture, so that every space, material and detail works as one: architectural in its clarity, but warm and easy to live with. In existing homes, we bring contemporary light and space to houses that respect their setting.

We lead the whole project as Lead Consultant and Principal Designer, working with consultants, builders and craftspeople we have known for decades.

About Us

Our studio is in Holborn, in central London. From here we work with private clients across the UK and abroad, with consultants, craftspeople and suppliers we have known for many years.

Gregory Phillips founded the practice in 1991 and still leads its design work today. Over 35 years he has designed homes of every kind, from large new country houses to London townhouses and apartments. His approach runs through all our work: homes that are bold in design but calm and easy to live in, with interiors that are architectural but never austere.

Our Process

Building or transforming a home is a big undertaking. We start by understanding what matters most to you, so that the house suits both your brief and your site.

We work in seven clear stages, from the first brief to after you have moved in, so you always know where the project is and what comes next. We have taken many complex projects through planning and construction, and we know what it takes to build a house to a high standard.

Most clients work with us from the first design to completion. One of our senior architects leads your project throughout, so you deal with the same experienced person at every stage.
