WHOLE-HOUSE TRANSFORMATIONS
Neil Dusheiko Architects is a small London studio dedicated solely to houses. We work with homeowners who value architecture and want to transform an existing property with care, imagination and technical depth.
This page outlines the projects, budgets and ways of working that are generally best suited to our studio.

House Renovation Architects - London
Most of our projects have an anticipated construction budget of at least £500,000 + VAT, excluding professional fees and other project costs.
This reflects the scale and depth of work the studio is structured to undertake. Our projects often require architectural design, interior coordination, planning strategy, bespoke detailing and sustained involvement through construction.
Further context is available in our project budget guidance.
A project is likely to be a strong fit when the ambition extends beyond gaining additional space. We work best with clients who want to explore how their house could support daily life more generously through changes to light, movement, atmosphere, material and connection with the garden.
There is no predetermined house style. The design grows from the existing building, its setting and the people who will live there.
House renovations
Our process is thoughtful, detailed and collaborative. It begins with listening: understanding how you live, what the house currently lacks and what you hope the project will make possible.
The process works best when clients are comfortable exploring ideas, reviewing options and making considered decisions as the design develops. We bring creative direction and technical experience, while the project is shaped through open conversation and a shared commitment to quality.

We are unlikely to be the best fit for small standalone alterations, planning drawings without a wider architectural commission, highly standardised solutions or projects where the main priority is achieving the lowest possible professional or construction cost. Clear expectations at the outset help both the client and studio decide whether the relationship, scope and ambition are aligned.
Occasionally, a project below the usual construction budget may still have particular architectural depth. This could include a smaller intervention to a listed building, a sensitive conservation area home, a complex site or an early-stage commission requiring careful strategic thinking.
Where a project sits close to the threshold, the wider context, challenge and design potential will help us understand whether it is suitable for the studio.
This allows us to read the project carefully from the outset and respond with greater clarity.
Planning a residential project
If your project is substantial, design-led and ready for thoughtful architectural consideration, we would be pleased to hear about the house, what you hope to change and what you would like the project to achieve.
