PLUS is a RIBA-chartered architecture practice based in Central London, working with homeowners and developers across Tower Hamlets — one of the city’s most dynamic, historically layered, and architecturally diverse boroughs. From the warehouses of Wapping to the Georgian streets of Stepney, the Victorian terraces of Bow, and the cutting-edge developments of Canary Wharf, Tower Hamlets is a place where old and new meet in a way that continually inspires thoughtful, design-led architecture.
Tower Hamlets’ residential landscape offers a remarkable variety of homes, each presenting unique opportunities for transformation. Converted warehouse apartments, Victorian terraces, post-war houses, and modern high-rise flats all lend themselves to creative reconfiguration, extensions (where appropriate), internal refurbishment, and enhanced spatial planning. Many parts of the borough fall within conservation areas or areas with strong heritage character, requiring sensitive design that respects scale, proportion, and historic fabric.
Designing in Tower Hamlets means navigating dense urban contexts, a rich mix of building typologies, and a highly varied planning landscape. Our team has extensive experience working with these conditions — from heritage-sensitive interventions in Limehouse or Mile End to modern upgrades for contemporary apartments in Docklands. We approach each project with a balance of creativity and technical precision, ensuring that new design solutions feel authentic to the building and aspirational for the people who live there.
We specialise in high-quality refurbishments, bespoke extensions, interior architecture, and full reimaginings of homes of all ages. Whether the aim is to introduce more natural light, modernise a historic interior, create flexible family spaces, or rethink the layout of an urban apartment, our work is driven by clarity, quality, and a deep understanding of context.
