The weaverbird:

Creating a home is one of our most basic instincts.

We all want to have a space where we can feel at home and be ourselves.

Realising this dream calls for ingenuity, skill and perseverance. It requires skill in understanding what you need and perseverance in finding a solution suitable to your particular situation.

The weaverbird is thrilled with this challenge and sets about creating nests of amazing ingenuity and beauty with great energy and enterprise.

This is my inspiration and the guiding spirit of my practice.

With many years of architectural and design experience, I can help you realise your dream space.

We are a London based architecture practice headed by Rui Carvalheiro, ARB, specialising in efficient and high quality residential design across the South East of England, providing full architectural services for new built housing, extensions or conversions of residential spaces.

SOMEONE IN YOUR CORNER

Most ideas have unexpected hidden potential.

An architect will recognise these and help you draw the greatest benefit from your project.

Tight constraints are often the fuel for an architect's creativity.

Design quality is a misunderstood entity. Difficult to assess and measure, it is often neglected. Yet it is the key to further unlock value. An experienced and committed designer adds to the pleasure and enjoyment of the product, making it more worthwhile.

From your first thoughts to moving into the completed project, the architect will save you time by efficiently completing documentation, co-ordinating a team of consultants and undertaking regulatory tasks ensuring compliance and the clearest run for the project.

An architect has the skill and experience to accurately turn your unique vision into reality, with guidance on managing the costs of construction to create what you want.

A construction project is a complex process fraught with unforeseen challenges.

An architect stands by your side, defends your interests and guides you, avoiding confusion, minimising risk and reducing stress.

Why me?

"Rui understood our family's lifestyle. He quickly came up with exciting solutions we had not considered which reflect our needs. We are very happy with his contribution and can't wait to move into our new home."

Alison & Tony

"Weaverbird was a pleasure to work with. Passionate and creative about the project as well as a good grasp of what is realistic and responsive. I would definitely recommend working with Weaverbird."

Joe Maughan

"Weaverbird Architectural Services were excellent. They produced a number of different options for our large conversion project, advised on some regulatory issues & were always super helpful. They were great at asking us "good questions" from the very beginning of the process so that they had a clear understanding of what we needed & wanted - some questions we'd not even thought to ask ourselves. We will definitely be using them again in the future."

Shaz Watkins

"We have worked with Weaverbird on the refurbishment of two high end apartments in Kensington Court. One of them is located within a listed building.
Weaverbird were very easy to work with, displaying versatility in coming up with new ideas to deal with various conditions set up by evolving requirements from the clients, the Local Authority and other factors arising from working in old buildings.
Weaverbird demonstrated a surprising willingness to listen and deliver the product required by the clients. Many years of experience in the architectural profession in the UK has borne fruit in coming up quickly with professional, reliable and attractive solutions."

Andrejus from Andersons of London

"Rui was great in helping with my loft conversion. His plans were extremely helpful and he was always good at replying quickly to any questions I had. Would thoroughly recommend."
