Mathew Crawford Architects
create elegantly crafted architecture
in London and the South East
Mathew Crawford Architects are RIBA Chartered Architects based in Lewes, East Sussex.
We operate across London and the South East, specialising in projects with difficult planning constraints including Conservation Areas, National Parks and Listed Buildings.
Residential Design:
We design homes that are both timeless and deeply connected to their surroundings. From Intricate extensions to large bespoke new-builds, we focus on residential architecture crafted with care, sensitivity and attention to detail.
Commercial Design:
We undertake select commercial and mixed-use projects, particularly where our experience in sensitive planning environments adds value. We bring the same level of care, detail and contextual understanding to all our projects
Our Services:
We deliver innovative, context-driven architectural solutions that respond to the needs of our clients, the community, and the environment. Our studio offers a full range of architectural services from concept to completion, ensuring every project is thoughtfully designed and carefully executed
1. Feasibility Studies & Site Analysis
We assess the potential of your site or property, evaluating planning constraints, environmental factors, and development opportunities to guide your project from the very beginning.
2. Concept Design & Masterplanning
We create clear and compelling design concepts that reflect your vision, whether for a single building or a larger masterplan. Our designs balance creativity, practicality, and long-term value.
3. Planning Applications & Approvals
We manage the entire planning process, including preparing detailed documentation, engaging with local authorities, and navigating approvals to streamline project progress.
4. Detailed Design & Documentation
From materials and finishes to building regulations and technical drawings, we develop fully resolved construction documents that bring design intent to life with precision and clarity.
5. Contract Administration & Project Delivery
We oversee the construction phase, ensuring the project is built to the highest standards. We work closely with builders and consultants to protect your interests throughout.
6. Interior Architecture & Design
Integrated interiors are part of our holistic design approach. We shape interior environments that are both functional and inspiring, tailored to your lifestyle or business needs.
7. Sustainability & Heritage
We are committed to environmentally responsible design and sensitive heritage integration. Whether upgrading existing buildings or designing new ones, sustainability and respect for context are core to our practice.
Why not try our consultation service?
Not every project needs full architectural services right away. Sometimes you just need clarity about what’s feasible, how to approach planning or how to make the most of your space.
Our Process: RIBA Work Stages
We guide you through every step of your project using the RIBA Plan of Work, a trusted framework that brings clarity and structure to the design and construction process
