“I enjoy working with My/Architect a lot. They take time to listen to your ideas and make them happen. My planning was approved without any problems and I look forward to the build stage.”
At My/Architect, we specialise in high-end home renovations, extensions and interiors from £150k to £2m+.
We offer a fully integrated service that brings together architecture, interiors, contractor coordination and project management. Our approach is designed to provide homeowners with professional oversight throughout the design and delivery process.
As residential architects in Wandsworth, we established our presence in the borough following successful launches in Hackney, Camden, Islington and Hammersmith and Fulham. Wandsworth has since become our primary area of operation south of the Thames, with approximately 10–15 projects per year across the borough.
From the Victorian terraces of Balham and Tooting to the riverside properties of Battersea and Putney, the housing stock here offers significant potential for design-led transformation. Our team focuses on retaining period character while reconfiguring layouts to improve flow, light and usable space.
Led by Founder Harry Molyneux and Director Dani Schmidt, our team brings architectural expertise and on-site experience to London residential projects. We combine design vision with practical delivery across our architecture services, ensuring each home receives care and attention from start to finish.
Harry founded My/Architect to make residential architecture more practical and transparent. With over a decade of experience delivering London home extensions and refurbishments, he brings a rare mix of design knowledge and build expertise. Harry leads client strategy, ensuring every project is designed with cost, delivery, and quality in balance.
Dani oversees design development and project delivery, guiding clients from concept through to construction. With a background in residential architecture and interior detailing, she focuses on designs that combine aesthetic precision with real-world feasibility. Dani is known for her calm, structured approach and commitment to getting projects built well.
“Emily, Dani and Harry at My-Architect helped us develop a successful renovation and enlargement of a ground floor London flat. All the team were fantastic… the finished result was an excellent reflection on all the professionals and trades involved. The whole process of building, particularly in London, can be stressful but the team ensured that we completed the project with our sanity intact.”

Wandsworth has a Local Validation Checklist detailing the drawings and reports required to register an application. Review the Make a Planning Application page to ensure you have the correct documentation.
Basement and ground floor extensions often require a flood risk assessment. You can check the long-term flood risk for your specific area using the government’s Flood Map for Planning.
Most planning applications should be submitted via the national Planning Portal, which allows you to upload drawings and pay fees online.
Once planning is approved, you will need to apply for Building Regulations approval. You can submit your application directly via Wandsworth Building Control.
Our experience in Wandsworth covers a broad range of high-value residential projects, from side-return extensions and loft conversions to comprehensive family home refurbishments.
We’re able to serve homeowners across Battersea, Putney, Balham, Earlsfield and Southfields, with previous commissions including projects on Northcote Road and The Pleasance.
We specialise in builder matchmaking and end-to-end delivery for these schemes, ensuring that significant structural alterations meet the standards expected by the local authority.
Wandsworth has 46 conservation areas, subject to Article 4 Directions which remove permitted development rights.
Similar to the conservation work we undertake in Westminster, our team manages the planning submission, detailed drawings and local authority negotiations on your behalf.
We specialise in complex schemes, including the refurbishment of properties within conservation areas and alterations to listed buildings, ensuring proposals respect the architectural integrity of the street.
We design with cost clarity and buildability in mind for London homes.
We make every stage clear, from first sketch to handover. You’ll know what’s included, what it costs, and when it happens.
Our process gives homeowners predictable budgets, timelines, and scope, helping avoid surprises.
Development across the borough is tightly regulated, particularly in areas like Wandsworth Common and Battersea where Article 4 Directions are in place. We support homeowners by producing the detailed architectural drawings required to demonstrate that a proposed extension or renovation respects the character of the conservation area while optimising internal space.
Yes. As architects in South London, Wandsworth is a key focus of our practice. We work across Battersea, Putney, Balham, Tooting, Earlsfield and Southfields. Our familiarity with the borough’s planning framework and housing typologies allows us to move efficiently from initial consultation to submission.
We provide a builder matchmaking service to pair you with trusted partners suited to the logistics of working in South London. We then oversee the project through to completion, managing site queries to ensure the build quality matches the design intent.
Treating the structural shell and internal fit-out as separate phases often leads to disjointed results. By handling both under one roof, we ensure that elements like joinery, lighting and material finishes are considered from the very first planning concept, resulting in a cohesive, premium home.
We specialise in high-end projects typically ranging from £150k to over £2m. This focus allows us to provide a dedicated, boutique level of service for homeowners seeking premium extensions and full-scale renovations.
