Founded more than 30 years ago, we are a multi award winning architecture studio specialising in prestigious contemporary residential design.

Established as one of the UK’s leading residential architects, we deliver the finest homes to the highest architectural quality with a carefully considered approach.

Whether the project is an extension, a renovation or an entirely new house design, every project we work on is transformative and we care about every detail.

We strive for every project to be our best yet.

Gregory Phillips Architects in Richmond have carried out a number of projects in the area using their holistic approach, including Kew, Chiswick and Barnes. In Richmond, we have produced many award-winning projects for both architecture and interior design; our recent works include new build contemporary homes, basement excavation, substantial residential extensions, loft conversions, remodelling projects and new swimming pools.

One of the notable projects we undertook in Richmond involved the construction of a magnificent new-build house spanning an impressive 6,000 square feet. Situated within a conservation area, this project required careful attention to detail and adherence to specific regulations to preserve the historical and architectural significance of the surrounding environment

From the very beginning, we were fully committed to providing comprehensive services that covered every aspect of the project. Our involvement started with the project’s inception, where we collaborated closely with our client to understand their vision, requirements and preferences. With our extensive expertise in residential design, we developed innovative ideas and practical solutions to ensure the realisation of their dream home.
Navigating the intricacies of obtaining planning consent within a conservation area was one of our primary responsibilities. Our team of skilled architects in Richmond diligently worked to prepare detailed and persuasive proposals that respected the area’s unique heritage. Through meticulous planning, thorough documentation and effective communication with local authorities and preservation bodies, we successfully obtained the necessary approvals, enabling the project to move forward.

With over 25 years of experience, we provide a unique, considered and professional approach to high-quality residential design. Our architects in Richmond will work closely with you, keeping you informed of all construction costs and advise where Listed Buildings need to be considered – or if you wish to build near conservation areas.

You will be working with an architect from our chartered practice from the initial design process through to the planning process and beyond; whether you are constructing a new building or adapting an existing property, we will give you exactly the home that you desire.

Architectural projects around Richmond Upon Thames

We are very familiar with dealing with the local planning authorities and their planning application process and have completed many successful projects around Richmond Upon Thames.
Gregory Phillips architectural practice has completed several projects near Richmond in Kew. The Kew Road project was a labour of love, that consisted of the refurbishment and extension of a Victorian house, to create a wonderful 5-bedroom family home.

This included the addition of an 11-metre, garden-facing glass extension that breathed new life into the traditional building.

The completed build was celebrated and adored, not only by the owners, but also the press as an award winning project, including Best Interior Design in the UK from the Bentley Property Awards and the D&D Award for Best Residential Room in the UK.

We gave a contemporary update to a 6-bedroom Victorian home in Chiswick, preserving its period grandeur. Gregory Phillips Architects was commissioned to create a luxurious and comfortable modern home that is both practical and beautiful.

Fluid relationships between the interior and exterior spaces were formed via vast sliding doors that open out onto the garden, using luxurious ranges of fabrics, natural stone and marble to create layers of texture.

A sculptural extension clad in patinated brass panels was added to the rear offering more sunlight and space to the ground floor areas whilst creating an exceptional openness to the newly landscaped garden.

At the same time, Gregory Phillips’ residential architects project managed the basement excavation, giving the client 240 sqm of new living areas, including a generously sized hang-out room, cinema, office, utility room and a spectacular wine store for the family’s 1500 bottle collection.

The layout of the house was vastly improved to maximise the drama of the spaces, which required various planning permissions. The clean modern details are complemented using natural materials to create a calm contemporary and sophisticated aesthetic – and one that is entirely functional as a contemporary family home.

If you’re considering a renovation or extension project in Richmond or the surrounding areas, Gregory Phillips Architects provide the expert guidance and support you need to achieve your vision. We offer a comprehensive range of architectural services, from initial concept design through to project management and completion.
