Services
We've offered a tailored, residential architect's service for fourteen years. Our vision is to offer aspirational architecture so our clients can create homes they love. Leigh Bowen, our founder, realised that there was a lack of tailored, professional architectural services available to homeowners.
Your ideal home is personal to you. When we meet, we'll listen, ask questions, and get to know you. You'll receive a customised proposal covering exactly what you need - and nothing you don't. From the outset, you'll be assigned a dedicated project architect. They'll take care of your project day to day.
We're a team of seven with decades of experience in residential architecture and managing projects. There's not much we haven't seen! Our specialisms include residential new builds and extensions, heritage properties and listed buildings, change of use, technical drawing, large-scale, and bespoke projects.
As RIBA chartered architects, our design process and service offering has been finely honed in response to the specific needs of residential clients. We provide a full architectural service broken down into 5 clear stages. These stages are based on the 'RIBA Plan of Work 2013' - the definitive UK model for the building design and construction process.
50 Degrees North architects are here to turn your aspirations into reality by guiding you through the design, legislative and construction process. We are a design led practice with a strong network of contacts to deliver your project from extensions and renovations to new build and commercial projects.

We appointed 50° North Architects to work on our extension and refurbishment. Our aim was to replace an old conservatory with a proper extension and change other rooms in our 1940's bungalow. Gavin Neal, our architect at 50°, was extremely helpful and talented, and he gave us a lot of his time and creative ideas. His expertise and imaginative suggestions transformed our original concept into a building which is a real pleasure to live in with some very uplifting aspects. As well as this he, and the team at 50°, were an invaluable help with guidance on the paperwork. They gave us full help and

50 Degrees developed a design to maximise the value of my site and develop a new urban space;
They developed a strategy for the use of the site and how it interacted with adjacent spaces arriving at a feasibility plan before working with a difficult planning authority to get pre-application advice;
Liaison with sub-consultants to inform the design, get key advise and a strategy in place;
Site and design problems, as they arose were handled as a team to find a solution .
The last key thing is the network of builders, suppliers and consultants used to help develop the design, specify the exterior

We worked with 50° North Architects on our extension/home refurb project in St Margarets. Our brief was to create a side return at the back of our house, and ensure the rest of the space has a natural flow and is efficient – especially for busy family life. 50° North developed several design options before we settled on our chosen approach, then helped us navigate the process of planning permission, party wall and building control – which all felt seamless. They helped recommend a long list of builders, glazing companies, etc. and were always on hand to answer any questions we had throughout

It was a pleasure working with 50° North Architects on our ground floor extension and loft conversion in South West London. We wanted to transform our home, using every inch of space, bringing as much light into the building as possible. 50° North worked up a number of solutions which we loved before we settled on the final design. They carefully guided us through all aspects of the planning process, advising us on using various planning application types to ensure we received the desired result. Gaining the planning permission we wanted meant we had the space that allowed us to grow in the house

The size of our job was modest, but 50 Degrees rose to the challenge, and we are delighted with the result. They also referred us to a garden designer and a window manufacturer, both of whom were first class. 5 Stars only just avoided owing to some delays when a staff member left them a man down and a few delays ensued. But that's life - so thank you 50 Degrees. Great name for the practice btw.
