Richard Elliott Architects is a principal-led architect based in Sevenoaks, Kent, working across bespoke houses, major remodelling, listed buildings, planning-sensitive sites, flats, pool buildings and community projects in Kent, London and the South East. The work runs from first feasibility and planning strategy through Building Regulations information, tender packages and construction support.
The practice is not set up to get planning permission and disappear. Early feasibility, planning strategy, design development, Building Regulations information, tender documentation and site-stage support can all sit within one thread.
Sites are assessed properly at the start so time is not wasted on the wrong move.
The work is about arrival, levels, light, sequence and how the building is lived in. Style comes after that.
REA can continue into Building Regulations information, schedules, tendering and contractor coordination.
Clients deal with Richard throughout. That keeps decisions quick and avoids the usual layers of drift.
Bespoke work should feel specific to the client, the site and the daily routine.
Richard Elliott Architects does not work to a house style. Some projects are contemporary. Some are more classical. What matters is whether the building is properly judged, well proportioned and worth building.
The practice works across private houses, listed buildings, flats, pool buildings and community projects. The common thread is a direct, practical approach and an insistence that the architecture still reads clearly once the compromises of real life arrive.

The practice works across bespoke houses, extensions and major remodelling, pool buildings, listed and historic settings, small residential development and community projects. The common thread is careful judgement, clear design thinking and practical follow-through.
