FAQ

Residential architects are registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally members of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Quality residential architects should be experienced in residential projects and come with a varied portfolio.

The stages include the initial consultation, conceptual design, detailed design, planning permission applications, tendering, building regulations approval, and construction oversight.

Architects also assist in choosing quality and affordable building companies.

Our advice is to engage an architect in the early stages of your project for the best results. When you are ready to start the design process, we’re here to help.

Yes, many architects are experts in sustainable design and place a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, the use of sustainable materials, and reducing the negative impact on the environment.

Architectural Landmarks in Southwark

Southwark is one of London’s most historically rich and architecturally diverse boroughs. We love how Southwark mixes Roman relics, medieval crafts, industrial history, and modern buildings. It all fits nicely into a walkable city. These landmarks shape how we think about adaptive design and materials. They also affect how buildings connect with their surroundings.

Southwark Cathedral

Southwark Cathedral, near London Bridge, is a great example of Gothic revival architecture in the city. Its scale, rhythm and detailing are all things we study closely when working on heritage or ecclesiastical structures. The calm interior and beautifully layered stonework continue to inspire our conservation-led projects.

The Roman Mosaic

Southwark’s Roman mosaic shows the city’s deep bond with craft and storytelling through materials. Its shape and limits guide how we think about texture and patterns. Details are key in interiors. They matter but shouldn’t overshadow the architecture.

(Wikipedia)

The Shard

The Shard, one of Europe’s tallest buildings, towers over the Southwark skyline. Our work is smaller, but The Shard’s striking design and glazing shape our thoughts on light, contrast, and how we fit into the skyline. This impact is felt even in smaller infill and rooftop projects.

(Wikipedia)

Southwark Bridge

Southwark Bridge links two sides of London. It serves as an important structure that combines function with elegance. Its balanced arches and riverside spot prove that practical buildings can bring beauty to a community. We often use these principles when designing new extensions and public spaces.

Tate Modern Blavatnik Building Viewing Level

Tate Modern’s Blavatnik Building boldly blends brick with sharp, modern shapes in an industrial setting. At Payte Architects London, this is a unique example of impressive large-scale architecture. It pushes us to use texture, layering, and material contrast confidently, even in small designs.

(Wikipedia)

Southwark is one of the most interesting areas in London. Here, the old and new come together in a mix of contrast and continuity. Each project we take on here carries a sense of responsibility. These landmarks show how architecture shapes our identity. We bring that idea into every space we design.

Inspiring Custom Home Designs in Southwark
