Blackburn Architects is a small RIBA Chartered practice based in Rochester, Kent, specialising in bespoke residential architecture. We collaborate with homeowners on extensions, retrofits, and new-build homes across Kent, London, and the South East.

Our work is inspired by people, environment, and heritage. From our small studio in Kent, we cover rural and urban areas of London and the South East.

As a small practice, we offer competitive fees while delivering high-quality design and a personal service with a focus on beauty, comfort, and energy performance.

“I commissioned Blackburn Architects to work on my ambitious extension project based on a very positive referral from a friend who had previously commissioned them. Ben immediately added value by identifying opportunities and enhancing the ambition and design of what I had in mind, whilst being responsible with the budget. Ben is a consummate professional, highly creative with a very thorough approach to the project that inspires confidence. Would highly recommend for any project size and complexity.”

“Blackburn Architects were responsible for architecting and managing our project. From the first meeting we had with Ben he came across as friendly, knowledgeable and pragmatic. He was crucial in terms of gaining planning approval, selecting our main contractors and ensuring the project was delivered on time, on cost and on spec. We’d thoroughly recommend and definitely use again.”

“I highly recommend Blackburn Architects for any architectural project.

Their expertise, attention to detail, and management skills were instrumental in the successful design and refurbishment of my project. Their creativity and professionalism truly exceeded my expectations.”
