crafting your home, for life.

"Chris was amazing to work with! We came to him with vague, rough ideas, and he turned

them into something better than we ever imagined. His creativity and support made the

whole process exciting, and the finished result blew us away..."

exceptional, elegant, enduring

Chris Whiteman Architects is a client-focused practice based in the heart of Surrey, dedicated to helping property owners bring beautiful and unique homes to life.

We are passionate about creating exceptional spaces that balance timeless elegance with contemporary living. Each project is thoughtfully tailored to capture the individuality and lifestyle of our clients. Our team listens closely. Curious about what's said and attentive to what's felt - uncovering the imagined, the longed-for, the essential and translating it into refined, sophisticated design.

expertise:

extend, refurbish,

remodel

Our extensions and refurbishments are designed to add meaningful floor space while making everyday living more comfortable and enjoyable. By opening cramped, fragmented layouts and extending where it matters most, we improve flow, bring interiors up to date and create spaces that feel both functional and full of character.

listed buildings

& heritage

We specialise in the careful restoration and adaptation of listed buildings, preserving their historical character while enhancing them for modern life. With a deep respect for heritage, we blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design to create timeless, functional spaces and ensure each building's individual story continues for generations to come.

conversions &

unique buildings

We love the challenge of breathing new life into unique buildings, from historic barns to water towers, watchtowers and even wartime pill boxes. Our conversions celebrate the character and story of each structure while transforming them into beautiful, improved spaces that work with modern living. With a careful balance of creativity and respect for heritage, we unlock the full potential of these one-of-a-kind properties.

dramatic

transformations

Our dramatic transformations turn tired, uninspiring properties into beautiful homes you can be proud of.

From complete facelifts to thoughtful design upgrades, we focus on boosting kerb appeal and creating a look that better reflects your style. The result is a home that makes a lasting first impression and feels just as good on the inside as it looks from the street.

contemporary

new build homes

We create contemporary new-build homes that stand out from the crowd, combining striking modern design with high-quality materials. Far from standard developers' houses, our projects are tailored to your lifestyle, delivering unique, beautiful spaces with optimal functionality and flow.

From the first sketch to the final handover, we guide every step of the journey, ensuring your bespoke home not only meets expectations, but truly surpasses them.

For us, thoughtful design is storytelling - where exceptional architecture sets the stage for life’s next chapter.
