Meet James Williamson
Your Trusted RIBA Chartered Architect
I’m James Williamson, a RIBA Chartered Architect based in the heart of Surrey. Originally from the South-West of England, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the beauty of our landscapes and the architecture that enhances them. With over a decade of experience working in award-winning practices both in the UK and internationally, I founded James Williamson Architects in 2020 with a simple mission: to transform aspirations into beautifully designed, enduring living spaces.

Our Story
Since opening our Surrey studio, we’ve been privileged to help hundreds of clients across the south-east of England, from the rolling hills of Devon to the bustling streets of London, and even as far as Yorkshire. We’re not just about achieving planning permission - though our track record is something we’re incredibly proud of - but about creating homes that truly reflect the people who live in them. Every project is more than just an assignment; it’s a collaboration, a journey we embark on together to create something extraordinary.
What Drives Us
At James Williamson Architects, we believe that great design starts with understanding our clients. Whether you’ve lived in your home for decades or have just moved to the area, we take the time to listen, to learn about your lifestyle, and to tailor our designs to meet your unique needs.
01.
Commitment to Quality
Quality for us isn’t just about using the best materials or working with highly skilled craftsmen - it’s about ensuring every detail is perfect, down to the last precise millimetre. We believe that true quality is evident not only in the finished product but also in the entire process of getting there.
02.
Client-Centric Approach
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on building strong, lasting relationships, and we’re with you every step of the way, from the first sketch to the final inspection and beyond. Your unique vision guides our designs, and your complete satisfaction is our ultimate goal.
03.
Innovation and Creativity
Architecture is more than just building structures; it’s about creating spaces that inspire. We love a challenge, whether it’s finding innovative solutions to maximise space or integrating cutting-edge sustainable technologies. Creativity isn’t just a buzzword for us - it’s a way of life.
04.
Integrity and Trust
Trust is the foundation of any successful project. We’re transparent in our process, clear in our communication, and committed to delivering on our promises. We understand that your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, and we take that responsibility seriously.
05.
Sustainability
We’re passionate about creating homes that are as kind to the planet as they are beautiful. With advanced sustainability qualifications and a deep knowledge of eco-friendly practices, we guide our clients in making choices that benefit both their homes and the environment.
Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together
Every home has a story, and we’re here to help you tell yours. Whether you’re dreaming of a contemporary new build, a sensitive restoration of a heritage property, or simply want to breathe new life into your existing space, we’re ready to bring your vision to life.
Let’s collaborate to reimagine your home, creating a space that not only meets your needs but exceeds your expectations. We’re excited to work with you to create a home that’s not just perfect but perfectly yours.
