Here’s what our clients have to say.
This was my first project and I was nervous at the beginning as every thing was new to us. Nadir was very helpful in guiding us through the entire project from planning stages to choosing materials to assigning builders; giving us assurances that the project would be finished on time and on budget. He also provided us with ideas for interior design. The build was of high quality with great care taken throughout. Geroge and his team were excellent builders and really gave us a peace of mind. There were issues with some of the materials (not their faults but due to Covid restrictions and the subcontractors), all of which were sorted out by Nadir and George between themselves. I’m hugely impressed by the after build care (nagging jobs and other issues). They were all addressed without fuzz.
A true test of a beautiful house is whether you are proud of showing it to guests. I’d say this project has passed this test with the highest score. We are still in love with the extension 3 years after it has finished. We’ve also received a lot of compliments from our guests.
I highly recommend both Nadir and George for their service.

Studio 20 Architects is dedicated to Kitchen Extension Specialists, offering top-notch architectural design and project management services. Our comprehensive service is structured around a systematic six-phase process that guides you through every step, including: the free initial site consultation, all necessary design and planning work, the production of mandatory Building Regulation Drawings and Structural Calculations, and independent Contract Administration.
Our project journey for London kitchen extensions is structured around a transparent, systematic, six-phase process, ensuring efficiency and continuous guidance :
- Initial Sites Consultation: Free consultation to understand your needs and assess project feasibility.
- Concept and Planning Design: Architectural planners develop drawings and manage the submission of your planning application.
- Technical Design: Production of mandatory Building Regulation Drawings and collaboration with Building Control.
- Tender Pack: Creation of detailed documentation specifying materials and finishes for accurate bidding.
- Practical Competition (Tendering): Selection and engagement of a proficient principal contractor from our network.
- Contract Administration: Independent oversight of the building contract through to practical completion.
Whether formal Planning Permission is required for the London kitchen extension depends entirely on your specific design and its adherence to local rules. As part of our Concept and Planning Design phase (Phase 2), our experienced architectural planners will assess your needs, prepare the necessary documents, and submit the planning application on your behalf, actively liaising with Local Authorities.
We manage the complexity and potential variations in the cost of kitchen extension in London by using meticulous documentation. During the pre-construction phase, we create a detailed Tender Pack that specifies all materials and finishes internally. This level of specification eliminates ambiguity for contractors, allowing us to secure accurate and competitive bids during the Tendering phase, thereby establishing greater budget control.
Studio 20 Architects operates under a Design and Contract Administration model, which offers independent oversight. Unlike 'Design and Build,' our approach focuses on objective kitchen extension design and meticulous technical documentation. We then manage the contractor, ensuring the build adheres strictly to the detailed specifications outlined in the Tender Pack during the Contract Administration phase, guaranteeing quality control for the client.
During the Technical Design phase, we ensure all kitchen extension designs are fully compliant with mandatory safety and structural requirements. Our services explicitly include producing mandatory Building Regulation Drawings and managing the necessary Structural Calculations to guarantee the scheme is aligned with current legislation and structurally sound.
Our systematic process, which integrates engineering, construction, and design expertise, ensures efficiency by front-loading the technical requirements. We achieve this by creating robust extension kitchen design documents and the comprehensive Tender Pack early in the process. This detailed preparation minimizes the potential for technical delays or scope creep once construction begins, while Contract Administration maintains momentum.
For kitchen extensions in London, we manage the selection process during the Practical Competition phase. We only send the finalized Tender Packs to our established network of proficient principal contractors who have proven track records with our firm, ensuring quality and competitive pricing. Our firm then oversees the building contract through the Contract Administration phase, ensuring the build precisely matches the approved specifications.
