Transforming spaces, enhancing lives
Trevor Brown Architect Ltd is a North London-based architectural practice and interior design studio, established by Trevor Brown in 2011. We specialise in the design of residential architecture, ensuring that our high-quality designs are fully executed to produce high-quality, affordable homes. In addition to our expertise in residential development, we also possess a wealth of knowledge in working within other sectors, including education and cultural commissions. Our dedication to quality and attention to detail has enabled us to build strong relationships with local planning departments, allowing us to maximise the development potential for each property throughout the Southeast, particularly in North London.
At Trevor Brown Architect Ltd, we take a holistic approach to each commission, understanding that a successful project is the seamless composition of the external building design and the spaces within. Our work is informed by the existing building, our clients' tastes and desires, and the coordination of everyday objects and beautiful things. We place a strong emphasis on a collaborative approach to create spaces and interiors that are tailored to each client, enjoyable to use, and sophisticated additions to the original building. We develop each project closely with our clients through an iterative process of design meetings, ensuring that every detail meets their unique needs and expectations.
Our design process begins with a 'wish list', where we work closely with our clients to identify the essential elements and create a preferred arrangement of spaces and functions. Once the fundamental aspects of a project are resolved, our interior design and styling bring the arrangement to life, adding the finishing touches to create gorgeous homes and stunning spaces. Whether you are considering a strategic refurbishment project where you want to challenge the budget to maximise your return, sophisticated renovations and extensions that challenge normal perceptions, or something in between, we invite you to contact our team to discuss what we can offer. Initial consultations are normally free of charge.
How We Work
At Trevor Brown Architect Ltd, we understand that every project is unique, and our approach is designed to accommodate the individual needs of each client. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, we are committed to delivering exceptional service and exceeding your expectations.
Our design process begins with an informal, collaborative chat with our clients, where we discuss their ideas, establish their requirements, and answer any questions they may have. This is an opportunity for us to outline the steps required to complete their project and discuss their budget and expectations. If our clients wish to proceed, we will prepare a detailed brief outlining the scope of work, our fees for the required services, and a timescale for the design and construction works.
Once we have a clear understanding of our clients' requirements, we will develop a detailed design concept, incorporating their ideas and preferences. Our team will work closely with our clients to refine the design, ensuring that it meets their needs and exceeds their expectations. Throughout the design process, we will provide regular updates and progress reports, ensuring that our clients are always informed and involved in the project.
As the project progresses, we will coordinate with external specialists, such as structural engineers, to ensure that their designs are fully integrated and aligned with our own. Our role is to facilitate a smooth and efficient design process, ensuring that our clients' needs are met and their project is delivered on time and within budget.

Contrasting Experiences with TBA
Disappointment and Misaligned Expectations
One reviewer, James Littlechild, expressed disappointment and frustration with TBA, feeling that they were dismissed due to their project being considered "too small" for the company. This discrepancy arises from the company's website, which claims to handle extensions, refurbishments, and internal changes, yet seemingly excludes smaller projects.
A Testament to Excellence
On the other hand, Pablo Martin's glowing review highlights the exceptional work of Trevor and the TBA team. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and material shortages, they persevered and delivered high-quality results. The team's communication, attention to detail, and creative design solutions earned them high praise.
