Extension/Conversion

Browse our gallery to explore a range of bespoke home extensions, loft conversions, and complete refurbishments we've delivered for clients across London. Each project reflects our commitment to thoughtful design, practical solutions, and seamless integration with existing homes. Whether it's unlocking unused loft space, opening up ground floors for modern family living, or restoring period properties with care, our work is tailored to the unique needs and character of each home.

New-build

A selection of new-build projects, ranging from bespoke single-family homes to carefully planned mid-density housing developments. These projects demonstrate our ability to design at a variety of scales—balancing architectural quality, context-sensitive solutions, and efficient spatial planning. Whether working on a one-off dwelling or a multi-unit residential scheme, we prioritise liveability, sustainability, and long-term value for both clients and communities.

This collection showcases projects where sustainability is key, alongside conceptual and early design studies. It includes residential and commercial work—such as housing, offices, and shopping centres—at different stages of development. These projects reflect our focus on environmentally conscious design and broader thinking beyond built work. From feasibility studies to sketches, this selection highlights our commitment to innovation and thoughtful responses to varied briefs.

Customer reviews

Discover what our clients think about our service

I've worked with Zandi Architects on a number of projects and have always found them to be excellent.

Chris Wilford

”Shahrokh helped us to design an extension and home refurbishment. He spent a lot of time understanding our wishes and went to great lenghts to discuss different options and work out various designs. He supported us throughout the building phase and regularly checked the quality of the work being done. He helped us when our initial contractor abandoned the project and was instrumental in finding a new contractor who did a tremendous job. We're really pleased with the outcome of the project..”
