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 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 borough 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 Islington planning process.



Islington’s architectural landscape includes historic Georgian and Victorian townhouses, post-war housing estates, and former industrial buildings repurposed for residential use. Many properties fall within conservation areas, where planning policies help maintain the borough’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 planning requirements, from Listed Building Consent to sustainability regulations. With a focus on energy efficiency and considered design, Islington’s approach supports high-quality, sensitive development that enhances both historic and contemporary homes.
