Our luxury Leeds architects have transformed numerous homes and commercial property projects in north Leeds this year.
Here, we showcase how our expertise elevated nine ordinary properties into unforgettable ones.

New build houses designed by our luxury Leeds architects

Choosing to undertake a new build property is a unique opportunity to design a dream home from the ground up. We have all the residential architect expertise needed to lead this kind of project.

  • At Wigton Lane in Alwoodley, we redesigned existing plans for a very large luxury new build house and took the project through the planning process to completion. Today it is a stunning five-bedroom, four-bathroom house with grand ceiling and door proportions that truly wow visitors. We also added in bespoke features – including air source heat pumps and even a laundry chute!
  • On Crabtree Green, Collingham, work is just starting on a new build house designed by our team. It will have five bedrooms, four bathrooms and all the hallmarks of modern living, from a kitchen-dining-living room to a playroom and integral garage. The challenge with this property was proving its exemption from biodiversity net gain requirements. We successfully navigated this hurdle, and work began on site within a month of securing planning permission.
  • We are in the early stages of an ambitious development of four luxury new-build houses on Ling Lane, Scarcroft. These ultra-modern properties in an affluent area will be individually designed. Each home will have five or six bedrooms, spacious kitchen-dining-living areas and a separate lounge. Some will also have cinema rooms, gyms and playrooms to suit their owners’ lifestyles. We’re working closely with planners on pre-application designs at the moment, with more updates to come soon.

Significant extensions and remodelling projects

Extensive house extensions and remodelling achieve more than increasing space. They can rejuvenate your family’s lifestyle. Our luxury Leeds architects use innovative thinking and decades of knowledge to overcome challenges and create a bespoke home.

  • Villa Mura in Horsforth stands as a standard house situated in a semi-rural setting on greenbelt land, so planning law limits extensions. However, with the right knowledge, there are ways to maximise a property through permitted development rights.
    Our plans to add an extra floor, rear extension and side extension have now been approved. This will more than double the space available, creating a home with six bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large kitchen-dining-living area.
  • At Alwoodley Lane in Alwoodley, we are turning a dated 1970s home into a modern property fit for multigenerational living. Work to extend and radically remodel this five-bedroom property, with a playroom and an open-plan kitchen-dining-living room will begin on site in early 2026.
  • In Manor Park, Scarcroft, we’re doubling the space of a character property with a two-storey side extension while retaining its traditional style and proportions. Construction work is well underway on this project, which also includes internal remodelling. It will create a very special three-bedroom, two-bathroom property once completed.

Single-storey extensions by our Leeds architects

Our Leeds luxury architecture experts work on a lot of properties in North Leeds, a sought-after area because of its proximity to both the city and countryside. But the most popular type of project we see, as architects working right across Yorkshire, will always be the single-storey extension.

  • At Tree Tops Court in Roundhay, we will transform a small kitchen into one more suitable for a four-bedroom detached home in the 21st century. That’s thanks to our single-storey rear extension, which has now been approved by planners. Once built, it will give the owners the lifestyle they want as well as more space to be together and for hosting.
  • At Meagill Rise, Otley, work is just beginning on a single-storey rear kitchen extension. The end result will be a contemporary, seamless kitchen-diner living space, where a small kitchen used to be.

These projects are not vast in terms of scale. But the impact they will have on the lives of their homeowners is substantial.

And finally, a commercial property project in North Leeds

Restaurants, bars and mixed-use developments. You name it, our luxury Leeds architects bring that commercial property vision to life.

  • At Old Manston House in Scarcroft, we’ve designed a new shop and cafe to add to a family garden centre. This will create a destination for customers to visit and also allow the business owner to relocate her main base. This project came with some planning challenges, as we were moving a business out of a commercial centre. However, through tireless work behind the scenes by the Studio J team, these issues have now been overcome.  The business owner will also save money in the long term, by not paying rent for a central business property.
