Architects in Surrey

Gregory Phillips Architects is a multi-award-winning architecture studio with over 30 years of experience in contemporary residential design. Serving clients across Surrey, our experienced architects specialise in creating homes that balance modern innovation with a respect for tradition, delivering spaces that are both striking and carefully considered.

Surrey boasts a rich architectural heritage, from historic villages and period properties to rolling countryside plots and modern suburban estates. Whether you own a listed house, a mid-century family home or a generous plot for a new build, we can help. We’ve successfully completed a number of projects across the county: from extensions and refurbishments to bespoke new build houses creating contemporary homes.

Our Residential Architecture in Surrey

Over the years we have undertaken a varied range of residential projects across Surrey. These include:

  • Refurbishment and renovation of older and period homes, restoring character while reimagining internal layouts, light and flow.
  • Contemporary extensions and conversions adding modern, light-filled spaces that harmonise with the existing architecture and surrounding context.
  • New build houses designed bespoke to the lifestyle, plot and surroundings of each client.

Because Surrey’s towns and villages vary, from historic conservation areas to rapidly evolving suburbs, our team is adept at adapting our design language to fit the location, planning context and your vision.

Managing Planning, Permissions and Local Context

We understand that many properties in Surrey come with planning constraints, conservation requirements or sensitive local regulations. We provide full support for navigating the planning and permissions process, from initial site assessments, through to detailed submissions and approvals. Our familiarity with local planning authorities and historic building regulations ensures that your project can move forward with confidence and clarity.

Interior Design & Integrated Living

Beyond architecture, our expertise extends to thoughtful interior design: creating cohesive spaces where every element, from light and materials to furniture and finishes, works together seamlessly with the architecture.
