Our Core Values and Vision
Five values underpin how we design and deliver every Wimbledon home.
Residential Projects Across Wimbledon
Our local portfolio includes award-winning family-home transformations, ground-floor extensions, loft conversions and full project delivery through Merton Council.
Cromwell Road: Kitchen Extension & Home Transformation
Council: Merton Council
Budget: £250,000
Design: Five months
Build: Six months
Completed: October 2018
This double-fronted Victorian property was dark and no longer met the needs of a busy growing family. The brief was to create a large, light-filled open-plan space while remodelling and upgrading the wider home for flexible living.
A four-metre full-width extension, Crittall-style glazing and three large rooflights transformed the kitchen, dining and living area into the heart of the home.

Bronson Road: Ground Floor & Loft Extension
Council: Merton Council
Budget: £190,000 including VAT, FF&E and professional fees
Design: Five months
Build: Six months
Completed: March 2022
The brief was to extend three to four metres at the rear, creating a bright open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, while adding a loft extension with a master suite and en-suite.
Because the clients lived in Singapore during construction, AURA provided full project management, coordinating planning, building regulations, structural engineering, party wall matters and contract administration.

Architect Fees in Wimbledon
Unlike many architecture firms in Wimbledon, our fee structure is transparent. We charge a fixed fee for the agreed architectural services and set it out in an itemised proposal.
For clients using the full range of services described in our design guide, fees can work out at approximately 8 to 12% of the total construction cost, depending on the scope and complexity. Percentage-based industry fees can commonly fall between 11 and 15% of construction value. We prefer an agreed scope so our design decisions remain focused on your priorities and budget.
The written proposal for your project will always govern the actual fee. More comprehensive and current details are available on our architect fees page .
Wimbledon Residential Planning
Wimbledon lies within the London Borough of Merton. Planning outcomes vary between streets and property types, particularly where conservation-area controls, Article 4 Directions, listed buildings or sensitive neighbouring relationships apply.
Planning in Wimbledon can sometimes be less restrictive than nearby Richmond , but that does not make approval automatic. The West Wimbledon Conservation Area is particularly sensitive, and the feasibility of an extension can vary substantially within a relatively small area.
AURA has developed detailed local planning experience and works on your behalf to identify potential issues early. Our Wimbledon architects prepare planning drawings, liaise with Merton Council and coordinate the application process, saving you time and reducing avoidable uncertainty.

Yes. Services can cover feasibility, concept design, planning, building regulations, detailed design, tendering, contract administration, site monitoring and completion.
