“Emily at My/Architect was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and helped us achieve planning with ease.”
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 Haringey, we have refined our skills delivering projects across the borough’s diverse landscape. From loft conversions in Crouch End and Muswell Hill to the complete renovation of apartments near Alexandra Palace, we understand the local fabric intimately.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, we apply our deep experience in local design to deliver a thorough, end-to-end service for complex renovations, ensuring each project enhances the architectural richness of the street.
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.
“A great service. Cost-effective, professional and quick to respond. We felt we were in very safe hands throughout and appreciated the quick communication and very helpful advice.”

Haringey has a mandatory list of drawings and reports required to register an application. Review the Planning Application Process 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 Haringey Building Control.
Haringey has long been a cornerstone of our growth. Our experience here covers a broad range of high-value residential projects, particularly within the borough’s conservation areas.
We specialise in builder matchmaking and end-to-end delivery for these schemes, ensuring that significant structural alterations meet the rigorous standards expected by the local authority. Much like our work in neighbouring Islington, our team provides the architectural oversight needed for premium refurbishments in Highgate and Crouch End.
Securing approval for extensions in Haringey often requires a sensitive approach to local planning constraints. Our team acts as a dedicated partner, managing the detailed planning, design, and architectural drawings necessary for successful applications.
We specialise in complex schemes, including the refurbishment of listed townhouses, ensuring that significant alterations respect the architectural integrity of the building while optimising internal space for modern living.
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 in the borough is often tightly regulated, particularly in historic neighbourhoods like Muswell Hill. 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 maximising internal space.
Yes. We have specific experience delivering complex refurbishments for Grade II listed townhouses. Our integrated approach combines sensitive architectural design with interior specification, ensuring we meet the strict heritage requirements often found in Highgate and Crouch End.
We provide a builder matchmaking service to pair you with trusted partners suited to the logistics of working in North London. We then oversee the project through to completion, managing site queries to ensure the build quality matches the design intent.
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.
