Hello, my name is Pauline Fowler. I am an independently practising architect, offering a bespoke and high-quality service for domestic scale projects. I combine more than twenty years' experience in London with a friendly and down-to-earth approach, along with a strong network of professionals needed for any project, from structural engineers and party wall surveyors to construction professionals.
I believe that good construction is as important as high design. If you have a beautiful design, it is important that it is technically strong, to provide enduring good looks. For this reason my focus is always on the finished result rather than just the design process.

Pauline has been indispensable in guiding us throughout the process and protecting us from our own poor decisions.
Although Pauline has worked on far larger projects than our own little terrace house, she always gave advice that matched our budget and was in character with the property.
I love that Pauline is uncompromising when it comes to in insisting on quality finishes and workmanship.
This doesn't mean that she pushes for the most expensive materials; quite the contrary as she has saved us a fortune by pointing out where materials can be reused or refurbished.

Wouldn't it be nice if, instead of warming your home by burning gas or coal, or by switching on the electric heater, we simply moved it from outside to inside?
The good news is, there's a way to do this, and it's called a heat pump, and it works in winter.
Does what it says on the tin - and because it moves heat instead of releasing it from reserves created millions of years ago it, it cuts down running costs.
Alongside low air speeds, and comfortable feet, we all like to feel a little radiation occasionally.

Many people have the misconception that Architects will only want to design the next Guggenheim and will charge high fees that are unrealistic for homeowners with small scale projects.
In reality the opposite is true.
Using an Architect can help you get a creative and practical design in place as well as guide you through all the necessary consents such as planning permission and building regulations.
Additionally an Architect can take you through the construction phase of the project, ensuring your project is built to the right standards.
