Altham Lewis Architects was founded in May 2013 by myself, Paul Lewis, to assist homeowners and developers, primarily in residential design & development, with particular specialism up to planning. 

​

When you engage me to design your new home, extension, or a residential development, you will always deal directly with myself.  As a sole practitioner everything you see on this web-site was designed, drawn, modelled & managed by myself so you are always guaranteed personal attention. 

​

Since 2013 I have worked in many South London and Surrey boroughs and have particular experience within the boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, Lambeth, Merton, Reigate & Banstead, Epsom & Ewell, Tandridge & Mole Valley. 

​

I work with other 'friendly' consultants to ensure the best possible result for your planning proposals.  I maintain long-standing working relationships with all the consultants you will need for your project including, planning, trees, landscape, ecology (BNG), highways / transport, energy, daylighting, surveys, CGI's, heritage, party walls, structural engineers & cost analysis. Additionally I partner with another practice, I have known for over 30 years, if working drawings are required.  I have also worked with good local builders who I can connect with to take your project to construction. 

​

I can also connect you to landscape & garden design services via my wife, who is a qualified landscape architect, running her own practice.

​

My practice is RIBA chartered, in addition to my personal RIBA & ARB memberships.  

​​​

I qualified as an architect in 1995 and began my career at Studio BAAD where I was project architect on the RIBA award winning Simon Jersey building.

​

In 1997 I Joined Lifschutz Davidson working on the Hungerford Bridges, spanning the Thames from Charing Cross to the Royal Festival Hall.  Other projects included a Harvey Nichols Restaurant, and several office buildings.

In 2001 I moved to Pascall + Watson working on complex infrastructure projects such as St Pancras Station, Wembley Underground Station, Blackfriars Underground Station and Crossrail Canary Wharf.

 

Next was Will Alsop's studio for 3 years where I completed a new arts complex for Goldsmiths University and continued work on Crossrail Canary Wharf.

I moved to BFLS / Hamilton's in January 2005. While at BFLS I worked on Strata (the tallest residential building in London), Minories student residential & Solstice business park.

​

After 18 years in commercial practice I branched out by myself in 2013 and have since been involved in over 500 projects from small residential extensions to larger, developer led, residential projects.  I am also a judge for the International Property Awards.

​

Outside of architecture my other interests include hiking in the Alps, running, tennis, European touring & travel, cars & driving, good coffee and being outdoors looking at the stars or moody skies.....
