Your architectural investment in London

Develop a distinctive architectural project, tailored for your needs and the architectural identity of property, thanks to trustworthy relationship between you and your ARB - RIBA Chartered architect.

You have just bought your house and you already know what changes and works will need to be done. You are finally ready to invest in your property as you want to improve its layout to better fit your needs and design expectations. However you are looking for a unique design for your house and want to be part of the project process together as a team with your architect.

The project of your dreams

Do you recognize yourself in these statements?

● You are looking to increase the size of your living space.

● The layout of your property doesn’t fit your needs anymore.

● Your property is currently undervalued and not as its best.

● You have purchased a house which needs to be refurbished.

● You would like to get more design ideas for your projects.

● You had previously worked directly with a builder and it didn’t end well; it was really stressful time and you lost some money.

Many people are not confident in starting their renovation projects. They are not 100% happy with the design proposals or they don’t understand the estimated costs of the works proposed by the builders. By meeting the right architect who will support you and follow your project all along the different stages, you will see your dream project being realised faster than you think.

Imagine, when you will understand that you can have a design that works for you…

● Adapt your home to your needs, way of life and family projects.

● Develop with your architect a unique design for your house.

● Visualise and discuss your property qualities and its potentials.

● Develop your property investments.

● Stay within your budget.

● Focus on your future family projects (in a new environment).

● Surround yourself with the best team (architect, engineer, contractors, workers, etc.) who will focus their work on enhancing the architectural heritage of the property which attracted you.

Your architect

anne-sophie donèche

Passionate about Architecture and People from a young age, Anne-Sophie Donèche believes Architecture is an integral part of people’s life and it takes an important place in life decisions and changes.

She completed all her studies in France but her curiosity and attraction for discoveries led her outside of France, to the UK and more particularly to London, drawn to the energy and the creativity of the English capital. After several years in London, she realises that it is impossible to make a choice between France and the UK. She then developed her architectural firm bridging the gap between France and the UK. Today Anne-Sophie Donèche and her team guide clients in London and in France to make the design changes fitting their needs, respecting and highlighting the architectural typology of their property.

From interior design to new construction, including renovation and extension projects, SWEETCH ARCHITECTS is there to help you make the spatial and architectural choices to create the house of your dreams. By remodeling your home to achieve the functionality, size and aesthetic quality that you like, while respecting the architectural identity of the place, you can live your dream life in the house that suits you well.
