OO Architects are a local architectural practice based in Borough, London Bridge SE1.

What do we do?

  • We can provide you with a planning strategy for complex and difficult sites from conception through to successful planning permissions. We have a detailed understanding of listed buildings and conservation areas.

  • We liaise with private and local building control bodies from initial project notices to completion and sign off. We have experience dealing with high risk residential buildings and submissions to the building safety regulator.

  • We provide complete and detailed tender packages for contractor pricing and tendering purposes. We have a list of trusted contractors we work with and look to form new relationships with experienced high quality contractors.

  • We can deliver your project from start to finish so that it matches the design intent. By dealing with the contractor directly we can implement the clients project on time and to programme and budget.

Brief

At the heart of our value is to understand the client’s vision and needs, before we present our own. We value strategic planning, direct communication face-to-face meetings (over a coffee or virtually) and end of stage presentations. Over the years, we have been fortunate to collaborate with some excellent clients on some wonderful projects, and we believe a home or work place is evolved by the end user.

Design

A building’s usefulness is directly related to how well it continues to perform.

Therefore we provide alternative solutions that may be more economical and help reduce build costs and add value to your home or commercial unit. Options for reorganising and improving existing spaces and options for the form of the extension are always tabled and discussed.

Permissions

Early engagement with us means from an initial survey we can provide thorough design options and provide a strategy for planning submissions. This will be particularly important for listed stated buildings or conservation areas for which we specialise in.

We provide invaluable insight by navigating the key project elements including initial concept design, planning, Building control sign off as well as Party wall and build over agreements. .
