IntroductionDesign Code Architects is a practice made up of young but well experienced and enthusiastic Designers, Architects, and Engineers who are at the forefront of legislation, regulations, and wield in-depth knowledge of the construction industry. All these elements combined make for smooth approval processes coupled with beautiful final outcomes that anyone would be proud of.

We believe that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to spatial curation because every person is different. We believe that our clients play an intimate role in their project’s process and so the process and outcome will always be unique.

Whether the project is a straightforward extension of space or structural modification, a completely new and luxury home for life complete with full Interior Design or a large scale investment opportunity, our team are ready to make the image in your head a reality.

Our company is a complete architectural ecosystem; we can take a project from start to finish with all the necessary bells and whistles. We have strong connections within the construction industry along with Building Control companies. We know how to get what you want done, how you want it to be done.

We have a team of creative, knowledgeable, and talented Architects, Designers, and Structural Engineers who work together and produce fantastic results. Each and every one of the team have skills in a multitude of different sectors of the industry and that knowledge is shared amongst everyone toward the aim that the best possible results are produced.

We are an incredibly diverse environment. We have employees from all over the world including Italy, Turkey, Russia, India, Bangladesh, UK, Hong Kong, Greece, Persia, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan – all these backgrounds mixed with our contemporary understanding of architecture and structures allow our designs to be accessible to everyone.

Our architects combine beautiful spaces, materials, and natural light to create inspirational properties tailored to your requirements. We aim to maximize the potential of your home with a creative approach to design.

We are experts in managing the complete design and build process, from dealing with issues arising from planning and listed buildings to instructing works on site. Our architects understand that quality, cost and time are the key components of any successful project.

Our local experience has enabled us to develop a list of recommended consultants in London, from landscape designers to home automation specialists.

Sustainability is considered throughout the design process: our architects recognise the contribution of every element of the building, rather than relying on renewable technologies as an afterthought.

Tailored serviceInitial MeetingFollowing RIBA work stages, the design process begins with a meeting with an architect at your property. This initial design session lasts for either half a day or a full day, depending on your requirements. We will help to define your brief and advise on the best way forward for the project.

Selected projectsBarking Road,LondonStatus: Planning ApprovedCategory: #Residential

Client & Brief:Our client had little faith in this site, but the potential had yet to be fully understood. The tight parameters of the site meant that every square meter was valuable and its conversion from a pawn brokers sorely needed in this high street going through regeneration. What we achieved:Demolition of a two storey loan shop.Erection of a 6 storey, Mixed use apartment building in an unusually tight site making use of the slightest moments of aspect available. The long and thin spaces are curated to allow a flow of life with the risk of feeling constrained mitigated by the open plan, but visually divided spaces. Separating the living area to the front, more lively zone of the Highstreet and the bedroom to the rear to maximise the connection to the life of the street and minimising the disruption, respectively.

Bourne End Road, Three Rivers DistrictStatus: Under constructionCategory: #Residential

Client & Brief:A family of three generations under one roof with a view to grow together in a new and spacious home. What we achieved:• Demolition of existing house• Re-forming of landscape to protect

against future subsidance• Design approved for a two storey new

build house with accommodation in a large roof space

Outcome:We achieved a modern 5 bedroom house design with accommodation on all three levels which stitches well into the more traditional but varied street scene. A large portal guides and welcomes you into spaces connected and partitioned off to form a functional, formal, and fun space to share memories with family and friends from all three generations. The project is nearing completion on site and we are looking forward to standing in the large double height living space.
