Tim Richards Architects
Tim Richards Architects
Tim Richards Architects is a friendly and creative architectural practice, committed to producing beautiful and environmentally-conscious buildings. Based in Walton on Thames in Surrey, we are an RIBA Chartered practice that offers comprehensive architectural services from conception to completion.
We specialise in the design and delivery of residential extensions and bespoke new homes as well as remodelling and refurbishment projects. We have a thorough knowledge of planning guidelines and have developed good working relationships with local planning authorities.
The principal services we offer our clients are the design and drawing service to achieve planning permission for our clients. We then prepare construction drawings to obtain Building Regulations approval which can also be used by the builder. See additional services below.
We cover Elmbridge, Spelthorne, Runnymede, London Boroughs of Kingston and Richmond and can cover other areas by arrangement.
our approach
We take pride in the personal approach we offer our clients, listening and adapting to help them achieve their visions. We aim to deliver well-considered and inspirational designs, with every detail of every project offering an exciting opportunity to surpass our clients’ expectations.
We combine all aspects of design into our projects; balancing materials, orientation, energy efficiency and environmental impact, and aim to be as sensitive as possible.
Our carefully considered approach to architecture results in buildings and interior spaces that are simple, straightforward and elegant. Our designs are about light and space; about views and gardens; efficiency and flexibility; good quality materials and an elegant finish.
We want the buildings and spaces we create to lift the human spirit, enhance daily life and reveal the joy in architecture.
We strive to create homes people will love and places where they want to live.
