Architects in Islington

Founded more than 30 years ago, Gregory Phillips Architects is a multi-award-winning architecture studio specialising in contemporary residential design.

Originally developed in the 19th century, Islington has gone through a number of changes which have crafted its unique character. With an eclectic mix of traditional and modern properties, and an urban but leafy character, it offers a variety of architectural opportunities.

We have worked on a number of projects within the borough. Most notably we have completed a full internal refurbishment of a property on Alwyne Road as well as the reconfiguration and refurbishment of a property on Barnsbury Street.

We have worked throughout North London and have extensive experience of working with Islington and Camden borough council as well as a network of contractors, suppliers and consultants that have worked with us on a range of projects in the area.

Residential Architects in Islington

Gregory Phillips Architects has a deep understanding of Islington’s unique charm and historical architecture. Our Islington team has successfully completed several residential projects across the borough, including on Alwyne Road, Alwyne Villas, and within the Barnsbury and Canonbury conservation areas, as well as Highbury Hill. Islington’s rich architectural heritage, with its beautiful Georgian and Victorian terraced homes, is something we are proud to have worked on, updating these properties to meet the needs of modern living.

We know the importance of choosing the right architect for your Islington home. Our extensive portfolio showcases our experience in transforming properties from the initial design phase through to planning applications and final construction. Whether you’re looking to remodel your existing home or build something new, our goal is to deliver a space that perfectly reflects your vision.

At Gregory Phillips Architects, we offer a unique and professional approach to high-quality residential design, with meticulous attention to detail. We guide you through every step of the project, providing expert advice on working with Listed buildings or properties in conservation areas.

Our experience with local planning authorities ensures that your project is handled smoothly, from obtaining planning permission to completing a stunning transformation.
