MATT Architecture is a studio of architects and
designers based in the heart of London’s glittering West End, Leicester Square. We
also have a small office in Krakow, Poland – who’d have thought?
We are often asked what ‘sort’ of architects we are and what
‘type’ of work we do. We’re not really sure - but there’s definitely Joy, Curiosity,
Generosity, Humility, Commerciality, Skill and Insight in our approach (…you
may find ‘JCuGHCoSI’ a helpful Acronym to remember these points).
We also have a lot of repeat clients so that’s
good and probably tells you something. Do take a look and see what you make of us.
And if you think we can help you – please give us
a call.

Boundary HouseBerkshire
Client — PrivateArea — 55sqmUse — Private ResidentialStatus — CompletePhotography — George Fielding
The extension to Boundary House is a considerate intervention that involves the demolition of the existing, incongruous breakfast room and conservatory and replaces them with a dining room and a snug. The site is comprised of several buildings, built at different stages and in various styles. The new 55sqm extension serves to visually, as well as physically, connect the existing Victorian House, stables (pool house) and cottage.
The simple design careful mimics the existing brickwork and carefully proposes new patterns of its own to complement the main house. The large glazing feature allows for the extension to open up completely onto the panoramic gardens, while the sedum green roof is another clever detail that creates balance between the old and new.

Consort Road
London SE15Client — Lightbox
Area — 580sqm
Use — Residential
Status — Construction
This disused Victorian Relief Station in the Nunhead Green Conservation Area will be rejuvenated and converted to eight self–contained dwellings, thanks to the planning consent we gained for a developer client.
The appearance of this key unlisted building has been ruined by recent extensions to its principal façade on Consort Road.
The setting of the original buildings will be improved by the removal of these extensions. They will be replaced by an infill building whose form playfully echoes the existing characterful roofscape and entrance arch. The golden copper cladding both defines the contemporary element of the development and harmonises with the London stock brick, which will be restored and returned to its former glory.

Portland Road
London SE25
Client — Private
Area — 565sqm
Use — Residential
Status — Planning permission granted
This new–build development on Portland Road will provide seven much–needed, generous, bright and well–designed apartments. These will reinvigorate a vacant and overgrown corner site on a South Norwood high street which has remained unchanged since the previous building was destroyed in a gas explosion ten years ago.
We have worked closely with the Local Authority to produce this scheme. It has been heavily influenced by our ultimate aim of contributing to the improvement and regeneration of Portland Road through the introduction of a high–quality development which reflects the most successful elements of the Local Area of Special Character.
The massing along Portland Road has been deliberately split into three to reflect the plot widths opposite. In addition, the red brick gabled façades have been replayed, and formed using contemporary decorative red brick (which reflect the site's past as a brickyard) and standing–seam metal in the same colour, to produce a sleek silhouette. The apartments themselves will each enjoy a sizeable terrace, as well as spacious and naturally–lit living accommodation.

Patryk Paszkowski
Architectural Assistant
Patryk joined
MATT Architecture in 2019 after previously co–working with Philippe Rizzotti
Architecte, Miquel Lacomba Architects, ESESE Architects and ArtArchitekci in
France, Spain and Poland. He graduated Architecture and Urban planning at
Gdansk University of Technology in 2017.
His final thesis dealt with the issue of borderland
areas as places of both clash and coexistence of different culture, histories
and narratives and the contemporary exploration of the architectural form as a
way of response to their specific conditions — spatial
context, expectations of the local communities and also contemporary social
requirements.
Patryk is currently working on an office building in Norwood.

Millmead
Staines upon Thames, UK
Client — Renshaw UK ltd
Area — 35,000 sqm
Use — Residential (275 units)
Status — Outline planning permission granted
Staines
suffered a reputational pasting in the early 2000s courtesy of Sacha Baron
Cohen’s ‘Ali G’, in part prompting its subsequent name change to
Staines-upon-Thames....like Henley and Kingston.
The
town is currently enjoying a minor renaissance however, in part due to its
affordability and excellent transport links to Central London, the wider Thames
Valley Corridor and Heathrow.
Despite
sounding like an unfortunate accident, the word ‘Staines’ actually has quite an impressive
pedigree and is derived from the Anglo Saxon for ‘Stones’. More unexpectedly
perhaps the town was originally founded by the Roman Emperor Claudius in AD 43
- when it was known as Ad Pontes (at the Bridges) – one of the earliest
crossing points of the Thames.
Staines.
The
Emperor Claudius.
Really.
We
were appointed to secure an Outline Planning Permission – changing the use of the
site from being single storey industrial sheds into up to ten storeys of
residential accommodation.
Being
an Outline Permission however we never got to design the scheme much past the
point of overall scale, massing, mix of units and access. On top of that a lot
of multi-unit residential schemes end up being pretty tedious to look at - and we
were very keen to create real character for the project, rooted in its
place.
So
we did some little vignettes to show which way we thought the design should
go.
Roman
basically. All bricks, arches, forums and colonnades.
Along
with ‘athletic’ people in togas.Much as you find on any self-respecting UK
high street to this very day.
