About Turner Architects
Turner Architects is a small chartered RIBA architectural practice in South East London. We specialise in helping homeowners and developers create beautiful spaces. A lot of our work is in conservation areas and with listed buildings. What makes us different from many other architects is that we are very hands-on with the building works. We are passionate about craftsmanship. We think carefully about materials, how things are made and how all elements fit together. We are environmentally conscious. We test ideas rigorously as part of our creative process. We do not approach a project with a preconceived idea. We work very collaboratively to ensure that we are all proud of the end result.

To extend the kitchen, we dropped the level for height and drew on Italian inspiration: Renaissance and Tuscan. The clients gave clues from their home and social media styling, and set a vision of shared meals on a Tuscan veranda.
Cloistered House by Turner Architects, the restoration and extension of a Cubitt-built Georgian terraced house in a conservation area, has won the Urban Oasis of the Year
Garden Library – shortlisted for the best new home improvement project in London. The brief was for a study, spare room and storage for a growing family
A growing family needed a larger kitchen and wanted a family room that opened up the garden – there was, however, a large tree which sat directly next to the existing kitchen.
Our response is to use an eclectic but carefully chosen palette of materials and colours to give the house this painterly and textured quality. A main component of the design is a concrete and timber tree which rises from the garden.
We have initiated a shift and reorientation of the house to face the back and formally address the garden. The walk through the garden should be seen as akin to a walk through the countryside – and its quilted fields.
” A Kitchen on Wheels ” is a improvement project completed by Turner Architects, a small chartered RIBA architectural practice in South East London.
