Like many parts of London, Southwark’s architectural landscape is a charming mix of the old and the new. The areas maritime and trading history is ever present, with many of the old warehouses being famously converted into beautiful apartments. You’ll find towering landmarks like the Shard and Tate Modern standing proudly beside beloved historic gems like Southwark Cathedral and the Globe Theatre. Elegant Victorian and Georgian terraces, with their timeless charm, sit comfortably alongside sleek, contemporary apartment buildings, creating a delightful blend of tradition and innovation that makes Southwark truly unique.

Our founder, Harry, has always been deeply connected to South London, fostering a particular affinity for Southwark where he lived when he first moved here. During this time he’s grown a great sense of attachment to the area for its rich and complex mixture of industrial, family-oriented, and cultural heritage. Having seen the development in the area take place over the last few decades, he has a thorough understanding of what families and homeowners are looking for in this vibrant borough.

It’s not uncommon to find our team members mingling in the bustling markets or enjoying the ambiance of the heritage pubs nestled among the historic streets of Southwark, especially around the busy hubs of Borough and Bermondsey. The team at My/Architect loves to visit Borough Market whenever we can!

Southwark, one of the most recent boroughs we’ve started focusing on south of the river, has quickly become a significant area for us.

Here, we’ve been perfecting our craft, delivering projects throughout London, converting lofts and extending kitchens in areas like Borough and Bermondsey, as well as refurbishing flats across the picturesque settings of Southwark Park and the banks of the Thames. Each project presents its own unique challenges, but through repetition and a unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, we’ve streamlined our services to provide a comprehensive end-to-end experience for all homeowners.

Annually, we undertake around 3-5 of these transformative projects throughout Southwark, contributing to the enhancement of homes and the enrichment of the borough’s architectural diversity.

Our team of architects & designers have expert local knowledge to provide you with a single point of contact throughout the planning, design & technical pre-construction phases of your project.

Given the extent of work being delivered throughout the borough, all of our architects now have experience working on projects in Hackney and the surrounding boroughs.

Our Buiild* service and platform connects homeowners to a vetted network of builders and suppliers throughout Camden.
