Neil Kahawatte Architects is a RIBA Chartered Practice, specialising in the design and delivery of bespoke residential projects. As a North London architectural practice, we bring a tailored approach to every project, focusing on design excellence, sustainability, and maximising the potential of your property.
We have good experience working in the London Borough of Barnet and the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust and have successfully completed projects ranging from full house renovations and basement extensions to loft conversions and new-build homes across London and beyond. Our designs prioritise natural light, functional layouts, and sustainable materials, enhancing both aesthetics and energy efficiency.
We understand the unique character of the suburb and craft bespoke solutions that respect the area's architectural heritage while embracing contemporary design. Our knowledge of local areas and regulations allows us to help clients navigate the complexities of the Hampstead Garden Suburb planning process.
Hampstead Garden Suburb’s architectural landscape is defined by its carefully planned early 20th-century layout, with Arts and Crafts houses, neo-Georgian villas, and green, spacious streets. As one of the UK’s most significant conservation areas, the suburb is subject to strict planning controls that protect its unique character while supporting high-quality, sensitive upgrades.
Homeowners looking to extend, renovate, or develop properties can benefit from our expert guidance to navigate the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust’s design guidance and local planning policy, from Listed building consent to sustainability regulations. Thoughtful, well-designed alterations are encouraged, particularly where they respect architectural heritage and enhance sustainability, ensuring the Suburb continues to evolve without compromising its distinct identity.
