Architects in Nottingham for Extensions, New Homes and Planning-Led Design
MO Architects are planning-led residential architects in Nottingham specialising in house extensions, renovations, refurbishments, remodelling and bespoke new homes, as well as planning applications across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire. Led by an ARB-registered architect holding a Diploma in Conservation Architecture, nominated for the RIBA President’s Medals, we combine design-focused architectural thinking with practical planning experience across more than 350 projects.
We regularly work across Nottingham's residential neighbourhoods including West Bridgford, Wollaton, Beeston, Mapperley, Arnold and Sherwood, as well as the wider Nottinghamshire area.
We work with homeowners, developers, community organisations and commercial clients to deliver architectural design that is thoughtful, well-resolved and grounded in planning reality. From early feasibility and site appraisal through to planning permission, technical design and construction, we provide clear advice and creative solutions at every stage.
