Why Choose Us For Your Chiswick Architect Project?
The number one priority at AURA Architecture is to create the property development or changes of your dreams for you to enjoy for years to come.
These are the ‘rules’ that guide our work:
Maximising space by clever design.
Utilising natural light.
Visually pleasing architecture.
Within your allocated budget.
With larger than average gardens (for an inner London borough), the scope to extend is greater in Chiswick than in many other areas of London. But even so, you may be surprised how much extra living space our skilled architects can create – it’s courtesy of our numerous completed projects.
Whether you want to design a new residential property from scratch, tastefully extend a Victorian terrace property, or sympathetically refurbish your detached home, our consultative approach will always keep your priorities front of mind.
We also always work to maximise the value of your home when we undertake basement or loft conversions and other projects.
In 2019 we won dual Awards as the ‘Most Trusted Residential Architecture Practice – Greater London’ and ‘Best South West London Small Scale Extension & Home Transformation Project’. Then in 2023, we won ‘London’s Most Sustainable Residential Architect’!

Our Transparent, Fixed Fees
How much will this cost? With many Chiswick architecture firms, you won’t know exactly until the project is complete. AURA Architecture believes this needs to change. We’ve made our architect fees transparent and charge a flat fee of £100 per hour. Also, we provide a written quotation very early in the process to make you aware of the overall cost. This fee transparency helps you avoid the risk of escalating costs once the build has started or even abandoned projects.

Our Architectural Process in Chiswick
Undertaking a home renovation can be a stressful experience. In order to guide you confidently throughout, every project undertaken follows our 10 Step Home Design Process, which is based on the RIBA architect stages.
The process begins with our online enquiry form to create a design brief, through the build process, and all the way on to your home being completed for you to enjoy.
Our 10-step home design guide details each step of the way, and removes the ‘what’s next’ stress from the process.
First, we complete a desktop study which identifies any planning or building constraints imposed by the London Borough of Hounslow Council, who oversee the planning and building control in Chiswick.
Next, one of our experienced AURA team members will meet with you to review and discuss your needs. After this meeting, we’ll provide you with a fully itemised written quote. If you decide AURA is a good fit for you, we’ll then provide three design concepts to show how we can make your dream home a reality.
Then we work through the planning application submissions and approval process, along with building control documentation and approval ahead of the build commencing.
At this stage, we can also provide additional advice in relation to interior design, fine fittings, and finishes.
AURA Architecture can then manage the tender process, to assist you in locating a reputable and trustworthy builder, and manage the contracts involved, and monitor the entire project through to successful and stress-free completion.
Self Build Projects and Property Developer Architect Services
If you are a small or large scale property developer looking to maximise ROI on a Chiswick residential development, look no further.
As shown in this recent case study, AURA’s skilled and creative team of architects are able to add thousands or even millions of pounds to the net profit of your project.
Starting with design feasibility, we will take care of every facet of the process, giving you the peace of mind that the project value will be maximised, and every detail is taken care of.
