Studio
Cherry Architects is a residential architecture and interior design studio specialising in bespoke house extensions, home renovations and new-build family homes across South London, Surrey and beyond.
We create beautifully designed homes that balance practicality, longevity and modern family living. From Victorian house renovations and contemporary extensions to full-home refurbishments and new-build homes, our work is carefully tailored to each client, property and lifestyle. We believe good residential design should not only look beautiful, but improve the way people live every day.
As a small residential architecture studio, we offer a highly personalised and collaborative service from concept design through to completion. We take the time to understand how our clients want to live, shaping each project around their lifestyle, the character of the existing property and its surroundings.
We understand that taking on a house renovation or extension project can feel overwhelming, particularly for clients undertaking a build for the first time. Our role is not only to design your home, but to guide you clearly through planning, design, technical development and construction, making the process feel enjoyable, well supported and carefully considered throughout.
Whatever the scale of the project, we are committed to delivering high-quality, practical and cost-effective residential design.
How we work
with you
At Cherry Architects, every residential project begins with understanding the people behind it. We work closely with our clients from the earliest stages to understand how they live, what they value and how they want their home to feel.
Our process is highly collaborative, allowing ideas to evolve through conversation, design exploration and careful refinement. We believe the best house extensions, renovations and family homes come from strong relationships, open communication and a shared vision for the finished home.
Whether we are reconfiguring a Victorian terrace in South London, designing a contemporary house extension in Dulwich or transforming a larger family home in Surrey, we create homes that feel calm, functional and connected to modern family living.
3D Modelling Technology
We use digital 3D modelling technology throughout the residential design process to help clients fully understand and engage with their project before construction begins.
By designing in three dimension from an early stage, we are able to explore layouts, natural light, materials and spatial relationships in a clear and visual way — helping clients feel confident in the design decisions being made and more connected to the overall process.
We see digital modelling and virtual reality technology as a way to improve communication, collaboration and clarity throughout the project journey, allowing clients to visualise their future home before it is built.
