A Boutique Architectural Practice Specialising in Richmond
Richmond Architects
As a dedicated team of residential architects we are as passionate about the homes that we design as we are about the people who live in them.
We have been designing and building homes in Richmond for over 30 years, undertaking major renovations of period properties as well as creating iconic contemporary spaces from scratch.
At the core of everything we do is a true belief that a home should reflect the dreams and aspirations of the people who live in them. Our ability to listen and translate our clients’ visions has earned us an enviable reputation in Richmond, not just with the people who commission us, but with contractors, designers and local planners alike.
Richmond Planning
Richmond is one of the most challenging areas in London when it comes to getting planning permission. There are no less than 85 conservation areas, each with a unique set of regulations. To navigate through the intricacies of Richmond's planning restrictions successfully, it's crucial to collaborate with an architect well-versed in the local landscape.
We have been working closely with planning departments in Richmond for over 30 years. This depth of local knowledge has given us an enviable track record in obtaining planning permission for developments in Richmond. We are incredibly proud of our 99% planning approval success rate.
Richmond Property
With our extensive experience of working as architects in Richmond, we have gained a deep understanding of the local property market. Our team possesses a comprehensive knowledge of nearly every street and estate agent in the borough, providing us with unparalleled insights into the dynamics of Richmond property trends.

Richmond People
At Dyer Grimes, we strongly advocate for sourcing local suppliers for construction work. We maintain a "little black book" of trusted local craftsmen and suppliers in Richmond, so our clients can have the peace of mind of working with businesses and individuals who have been personally vetted by us.

Pre-Design Service
We understand that building a new home or enhancing an existing property can be both exhilarating and intimidating. Whether you're a seasoned renovator or taking on a project for the first time, the first step can often be the most difficult. You may find yourself wondering what your initial "back of an envelope" design will look like in reality, how much it will cost, and whether it will even receive planning permission. That's why we offer a pre-design service to alleviate some of those initial anxieties and help you make an informed decision. Our goal is to determine the viability of your project and provide you with the guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
