Thoughtful design. Planning approvals. London homes reimagined.

30 years of residential architectural design across London. From first sketch to council approval, we handle every step — so you can focus on the home you want, not the paperwork.

About the practice

A London practice built on craft and clear planning advice

N Ibrahim Architectural Designs is an architectural design practice based in Chingford, London E4, run by Nabil Ibrahim and working across North and East London — Waltham Forest, Enfield, Haringey, Barnet, Newham, Redbridge and Havering. We provide high-quality architectural design and planning services for residential clients — from concept to completion. Our work ranges from extensions and loft conversions to new builds and full renovations. We also handle the liaison with councils, Building Control, structural engineers, party wall surveyors and Thames Water — so the process runs smoothly from start to finish.
