How it works.
Our meetings are online using Zoom, you don’t need any software. Meetings are booked automatically through our booking system and you are sent a link. We divide projects into six key stages. Our service is entirely flexible, and you don’t have to use us for all of them. Click on a stage name below to find out how we can help you through each one…
Typical Service Journey
Why The Two Architects is the right choice for your project.
We work with you online, one-to-one, through the design and planning stages of your home extension or renovation — then stay on hand as your coach and sounding board as you take the project through to completion.
What makes us different
No project too small. Many practices set a minimum budget. We don't — every home extension and renovation deserves good design, whatever its scale.
Honest budget advice, early. We'll give you clear, realistic feedback on what your budget can achieve, based on years of hands-on experience — no surprises down the line.
Efficient, collaborative meetings. We sketch live on screen with you, so you see ideas take shape in real time and can steer the design as we go.
Working online keeps costs down. No travel time, no site-visit fees — just focused meetings that make the most of your budget.
You set the pace. Book meetings as often or as little as suits you and your budget, staying fully in control of your spend.
Tools built over 10+ years in our studio. Between meetings, we give you tasks and share the processes we use ourselves — so you can move things forward yourself where it makes sense, and save on fees.
A network you can lean on. We can connect you with trusted consultants — for planning drawings, building control, and beyond — wherever you are in the UK.
How we help, every step of the way
We work with you to optimise the layout of your extension or renovation, getting the most from your home in a matter of hours.
We guide you through the planning process, helping you understand what's needed and when.
We help you brief and hire the right consultants at the right time, so they deliver exactly what your project needs.
Beyond planning, we're on hand in a coaching capacity — helping you understand your options for finding the right builder, what information to give them, how to weigh up their quotes, and what to look for in a contract.
We're with you from first sketch to spade in the ground — as much, or as little, as you need us.
What People Are Saying
‘Thank you Ewald for your time this afternoon. The session was extremely positive in that you had already seen the pictures i sent and what I was hoping to achieve and had done some preliminary thinking. You were able to tell be what was feasible in terms of extending the space in my loft apartment and advise me of both the Planning Restrictions and Building Control issues to think about. Additionally you also looked at the space and offered your ‘eye’ on what else I could do which I had not thought about which gave even more food for thought! finally you also sent potential suppliers websites that I could look at and also similar work done by you and 'ball park' pricing…what more could I ask for!’
— David, Kent
‘It can be difficult to know what you need to do in order to plan changes to your home, from drawings to working with builders and what budget to consider. Having a two-hour meeting with George assisted in getting an understanding of the steps involved. George’s expertise in discussing potential feasible ideas and what’s possible within our budget has helped immensely to start planning our next steps to our home improvements’
— Yasmin and John, London
"I spoke with Ewald about the new house we were moving into. I had a couple of projects I was interested to discuss. Ewald gave me a couple of interesting and different options for the both projects which I hadn't thought of before, and was able to talk through pros and cons of them. It was great to talk through my vision with someone who knows how that could apply practically and with a strong design aesthetic."
— Kristen, London
"George and I spoke on Zoom about a potential project for my home in London. I am based in the US and wanted to discuss managing a project remotely. George was transparent and reassuring, sharing examples of processes that might be suitable for my situation. He was clear about budgeting, timings and offered a great deal of information about the stages involved. Bradley Van Der Straeten's designs are very impressive of course, but their attention to client needs and circumstances was even more so."
— Min Pullman, US
“Excellent, inspiring service and completely lovely people. What more could you ask for in an architect?!”
— Katie, E17
