Architects

HOPS Architects is an RIBA Chartered architectural practice working in London and Folkestone. We focus on creating homes carefully shaped around the people who live in them. Alongside the technical requirements of design, planning and construction, we consider how spaces feel, how they function day to day, and how they will support you over time.

Every project is led personally by us, Richard (left) and Luke (right), both qualified architects. From initial conversations through to construction, you work directly with us. This ensures clarity, continuity and confident decision-making throughout the process.

We see homes as human oriented places. Every project begins by understanding how you live, your routines, how you move through your home, how light affects your wellbeing, and the atmosphere you want your home to create. Rather than imposing a fixed architectural style, we design spaces that feel natural, intuitive and personal to you. Our work is guided by three principles:

1 Architect led throughout
You will work directly with qualified architects Richard and Luke throughout the project. You will always be speaking with us.

2 Homes shaped around real life
We design around the way you live. Layout, light, materials and circulation are carefully considered to create a home that feels calm, functional and personal.

3 A consistent, clear and well guided process
Designing and building a home can feel complex. We structure the journey into clear phases so you always understand what is happening, what decisions are needed and what comes next.
