House Extension Architects

House extensions to realise your property’s potential
Living somewhere you love is important. Sometimes, you might have put down strong roots in a certain area, but your home doesn’t meet your needs anymore. A big life change might call for more space, or you’ve just bought a new property that you know is bursting with potential.
An extension that’s sympathetic to its environment can immediately make a home more spacious and attractive, enabling you to enjoy it for longer. As residential architects, we love to design homes that consider their location as well as their plot, leaving you with a space that’s truly part of the surrounding community.
Whether it’s a bigger, more sociable kitchen or a loft conversion to create a home office, with some creative thinking it’s possible to make your living space work for your changing needs, without moving house.

Our approach to home extension projects
All home improvements can feel overwhelming, and we understand how stressful planning a home extension can be. With years of experience, we’ve formed strong industry connections and have deep practical knowledge that can help to overcome even the most challenging of problems.
After laying the groundwork with impeccable designs, we’re there at every step, from securing planning applications to choosing the right third party suppliers to help your vision come to life.
Investing in your home is one of the most personal purchases you’ll ever make. This is why we operate with communication and empathy as a priority. We keep your needs at the very front of our minds – but will aim to inspire, offering tips and tricks to help you achieve a special space that’s innovative without sacrificing functionality.


Chartered architects you can trust
Swain Architecture is a Royal Institute of British Architects-approved (RIBA) architect based in the East Midlands. We pride ourselves on our clear vision and attention-to-detail, always upholding the highest industry standards.
Every house extension project we plan follows the trade-body approved process, which works in three stages. You can read more about our approach and these stages here. By working in phases, from the first brief to the design and through to final delivery, we’re able to keep you informed with every important detail, at every step of the way.
We follow the same procedure for every brief, whether it’s to make an unused outbuilding part of the family home, or to drench a Victorian terrace in light. Making the spaces you live in work for you is our number one goal.
