Spear’s Review

Gregory Phillips’ eponymous architecture and interior design firm was founded more than 30 years ago with a simple but effective mission: to ‘help you form a vision of how you’d like to live. Then we make it happen.’ 

Specialising in luxury contemporary residences, Gregory Phillips Architects is particularly well known for transforming existing homes by adding sleek, modern extensions that allow greater connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Phillips tells Spear’s that collaboration is key, and he often introduces his clients to top-tier professionals across various specialisms: ‘We know the best of the best; we know the suitable team to put together.’ 

Among its commendations, the company has won several RIBA awards and a Sunday Times British Homes Award.

Adviser Profile

Established as one of the UK’s leading residential architects, we deliver the finest homes to the highest architectural quality with a carefully considered approach.

Whether the project is an extension, a renovation or an entirely new house design, every project we work on is transformative, and we care about every detail. We strive for every project to be our best yet. 

We design homes that are bold, contemporary and of the highest quality. All our designs are carefully considered to realise and unlock the potential of one’s home and site, whilst catering for the specific needs of our clients. Our homes aim to create a deep connection to their surroundings and a sense of place.

Known for open, light-filled spaces, rich materiality, precise detailing and a strong connection between inside and outside living, we balance striking architecture with the diverse requirements of domestic life. They are usually family homes, loved by our clients.

From extensions and renovations of suburban houses, listed buildings or city apartments through to complex new build houses, all our projects share the same focus on understated luxury.

Gregory has led the studio and driven a focus on designing extraordinary homes for over three decades. His determination to continually be at the forefront of British design has resulted in a portfolio being internationally recognised.

Working with an architect on your home is a personal journey and a relationship that can span multiple years. We work to understand our clients’ needs and realise these in every project. 

We have an unrivalled track record of delivering the most demanding projects. We feel comfortable navigating complex briefs, planning processes and building to the highest standards.
