Our diverse portfolio showcases our ability to deliver bold and ambitious designs for bespoke homes in varying scale, scope, and complexity. We have also demonstrated a rare versatility in our capability in responding to a variety of environmental contexts, in both urban, suburban, and rural areas across London and the South East.
Our design-led practice is dedicated to collaborating closely with clients to ensure that every project fits their unique needs and vision. At KHD, we believe that exceptional design is about more than just aesthetics - it's about creating homes that are functional, sustainable, and tailored to the way our clients want to live. From the very beginning of a project, we offer a complete architectural and design service, providing support throughout every stage of the process. This includes developing project briefs with clients, creating concept designs, securing necessary approvals, producing technical design packages, and overseeing construction on site.
At the technical design stage we create highly detailed and accurate plans and designs that encompass every aspect of the construction process and allow our clients to make informed decisions about the technical aspects of the project. We understand that successful technical design requires a deep understanding of the intricacies of building construction and regulations to ensure that our projects are optimized for performance, sustainability, and durability. To achieve this, we work closely with a network of industry-leading consultants and specialists that share our values in design excellence and offer expertise based on the latest industry trends and insights.
At KHD, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in architectural design, and to delivering projects that not only meet but exceed our clients' expectations. Our commitment to continual learning and experimentation with cutting-edge technology, combined with our ability to work with consultants and specialists across many disciplines, ensures that we are always at the forefront of design, delivering projects that are both aesthetically stunning and highly functional.
KHD provides a comprehensive end-to-end design service for multi-unit residential developments that combines creativity, practicality, and commercial acumen to deliver outstanding results. Our team has extensive experience and a deep understanding of the residential market, which enables us to optimise the value of a site whilst minimising potential risks.
Throughout the concept and planning application stages, one of our key areas of focus is on the deliverability of our schemes, both in terms of commercial viability and buildability of the design. Therefore our proposals are always tailored to the client's specific brief and site. We deliver unique, innovative, and sensitively contextual designs that respond to the community and environment in which they are set.
We pride ourselves on our hands-on approach which involves managing key stakeholders throughout the project, providing clear direction, and driving the project forward through every stage. This ensures that projects are delivered in line with time, brief and budgetary constraints and the client's vision is realized.
Beyond planning, we are adept at delivering technical design packages to suit our clients' specific needs, ranging from basic building regulations approval through to full comprehensive detailed design. In every case we ensure that each project is designed and detailed to a high standard and in compliance with all relevant regulations, working closely with the contractor, developer and external consultant team.
KHD has built a solid reputation in home extension design through our commitment to delivering high-quality results and exceptional customer service. Our goal is to make the process of home extension design and construction as stress-free as possible, and therefore we manage all correspondence with local planning authorities and other consultants so our clients can relax, safe in the knowledge that everything is being taken care of.
At KHD, we understand that every client is unique, with their own specific needs and budget. That's why we take the time to listen carefully to our clients' requirements and tailor our approach to suit their individual needs. We work closely with our clients throughout the entire process, providing advice and guidance on how best to achieve the most efficient use of space in the design of their extension.
KHD has a pool of carefully selected contractors based in London and the South East, who have a proven track record of delivering high-quality work and who share our commitment to excellence. Once our client has selected a contractor, we establish clear lines of communication to ensure that they understand the client's requirements and project scope, and that they have all the information and resources necessary to guarantee a smooth transition from the design phase to construction.

Led by our inhouse Land and Planning Director Ron, our Planning service provides the technical expertise required to ensure the best chances of securing permission in a timely and cost-effective manner. From providing initial feasibility advice through to the coordination of full Planning Applications and Appeals to the Planning Inspector, Ron has proved his worth many times over the years, with time and cost savings that have benefitted our clients.
Having worked very closely with KHD since its birth and now formally part of the KHD team, Ron is spearheading the growth of this service and is looking for talented individuals to join us on our exciting journey.
Working together, our Planning, Design and Delivery teams have an impressive track record of results. From a planning perspective, this success is thanks to our restless motivation to deliver the highest quality developments that are difficult to reject and our tenacious determination to deliver for our clients. Recent notable successes include overturning a refused KHD development of semi-detached homes in Croydon at Appeal (image below right), with our team receiving high praise from the Inspector for the design along the way.

KHD's in-house visualisation team has extensive experience in producing photorealistic computer-generated imagery, using advanced 3D modelling software and techniques. Our highly detailed images accurately reflect the design intent, allowing clients to see exactly what their project will look like once it is built, and to make any necessary changes or adjustments to the design before construction begins.
We create visually stunning images that are often instrumental in winning support for project proposals from local authorities and can also be used for marketing purposes to help publicise a development and boost sales. We visualisation services include exterior and interior 3D renderings, 3D floor plans, and virtual walk-throughs.
KHD is dedicated to playing an active role in tackling the urgent issue of climate change. In order to do so, our team is focused on working towards zero carbon home design. We firmly believe that no matter what the project brief, there is always a way to employ sustainable solutions that enhance the overall architectural quality of a building.
Our ultimate goal is to become specialists in sustainable building, with the aim of contributing to the UK's overall goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In order to stay at the forefront of sustainable design practices, we are proud members of the Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) and continue to engage in ongoing research and education to expand our knowledge in this field.
As part of our commitment to sustainable building practices, our team is currently working towards obtaining a passive house certification. This rigorous standard is one of the highest in the world when it comes to sustainable building, and achieving this certification will allow us to provide our clients with the best possible advice and design solutions.
At KHD, we firmly believe that sustainable design is not only necessary to combat the climate crisis, but also essential for creating buildings that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. By combining our passion for sustainability with our expertise in architecture and design, we are confident that we can help lead the way towards a more sustainable future for the UK and beyond.
