TMDB - House Of Clarence
Architects and Architectural Designers Near Me
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 September 2026
“We had a full refurbishment and loft conversion completed by TMDB and were really pleased with the whole experience. Surya and Thomas were both incredibly helpful throughout and guided us through the process from start to finish. They were always on hand when we had questions and gave us some great alternative options when it came to fittings and fixtures, many of which we ended up going with and were really happy with. The whole team were professional, easy to work with and made the process feel straightforward. It was a pleasure working with TMDB and we’re really pleased with how everything has turned out. Would definitely recommend them.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 December 2025
“We recently completed a side return extension on our Victorian terrace and had a fantastic experience working with Model Projects. They handled both the design and the project management, and we genuinely felt supported throughout the entire process. A special thank you to Sophie, who was our main point of contact. She guided us clearly through each stage, helped shape the design, and was always responsive and reassuring during the build. Her project management was exceptional and she repeatedly went above and beyond to keep things running smoothly. We are absolutely delighted with the final result. The space is beautifully designed, highly functional for our family, and has completely transformed how we use our home. We would readily recommend Model Projects to anyone considering an extension or renovation.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.
You can find a local architect with Houzz in two ways:

  • Answer a few questions about your project to get matched with a local architect for free. Enter your postcode above to get started.
  • Browse through our list of the best architects where you can find their profiles, reviews and photos of past work.

    • After choosing either option, you can reach out to the architects you want to discuss your project. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right architect for you.
    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects during initial consultations.
