PLUS is a RIBA-chartered architecture practice based in Central London, working closely with homeowners and developers across Waltham Forest — one of London’s most dynamic and fast-evolving boroughs, celebrated for its creative culture, diverse communities, and beautifully varied residential streets.
Having completed several projects across Waltham Forest, we’ve come to know the borough deeply — not just its architectural character, but the people, priorities, and neighbourhood-specific nuances that shape how homes are lived in and transformed here. From the tree-lined Victorian streets of Walthamstow and the avenues around Lloyd Park, to the Edwardian houses of Highams Park and the growing design energy in Leyton and Leytonstone, Waltham Forest has become an area where our work feels especially connected and rewarding.
The borough offers exceptional opportunities for thoughtful residential improvement. Homes here respond wonderfully to contemporary extensions, loft conversions that maximise roof space, and full internal reconfigurations that open up traditional layouts for modern family life. Much of Waltham Forest’s housing stock is period, meaning heritage-sensitive design, careful detailing, and a strong planning strategy are often essential — areas in which we have built significant expertise through repeated local experience. From conservation areas in Walthamstow Village to the wide, characterful plots in Chingford, the borough presents a rich architectural context that continually informs how we approach each project.
We specialise in bespoke extensions, heritage-led refurbishments, interior architecture, and complete home redesigns. With our proven track record in Waltham Forest and a clear understanding of its planning landscape, community priorities, and neighbourhood-specific character, we bring clarity, creativity, and technical confidence to every project. Our aim is always to design homes that feel deeply personal, highly functional, and seamlessly connected to both the local context and the needs of the people who live in them.
Whether you’re planning a loft conversion, a rear or side extension, or a full transformation of your Waltham Forest home, we’d be delighted to help you bring your ideas to life. Book a free initial consultation with architects who know the borough — not just professionally, but through lived project experience — and let’s create a home that reflects the charm, individuality, and evolving architectural identity of Waltham Forest.
