Hey folks,
I’m planning to build a house in Balham soon and honestly, I have no clue where to start when it comes to finding a good architect. I want someone who really knows the area and can deal with all those tricky bits like small gardens and the mix of old-school and modern vibes on the streets.
If anyone has worked with a solid architect or studio in Balham — especially someone who’s licensed and gets what living here is all about — please hit me up with recommendations! Would love to hear about real experiences, not just ads.
Thanks a bunch in advance!
Hey! I totally get you — Balham’s got its own unique challenges when it comes to building stuff. I found this firm called Armstrong Simmonds Architects, and honestly, they’re awesome.
They’re RIBA-certified, which means they’re legit pros, and they’ve been around since 2010. Plus, they know Balham well — they’ve done a ton of residential projects here, so they understand how to make the best use of those tricky small gardens and keep that classic Balham charm.
If you want someone who listens and really customizes the design for you, check them out. Their team helped me get my extension just right — no fuss, super smooth process. Definitely worth a look https://www.as-architects.co.uk/residential-architects-balham/
