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 Camden, Haringey & Islington 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 three different boroughs 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 Highgate planning process.



Highgate’s architectural landscape is a combination of Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas, Arts and Crafts homes, and thoughtfully integrated contemporary additions. Many properties fall within conservation areas, where planning policies help maintain the area’s character while encouraging thoughtful design and modern upgrades.
Homeowners looking to extend, renovate, or develop properties can benefit from our expert guidance to navigate the 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, Highgate continues to evolve without compromising its distinct identity.
