Who We Are
Architecture Social connects urban designers with specialist heritage and conservation practices across London. Our clients advise on conservation area appraisals, heritage-led regeneration, and the sensitive integration of new development within historic townscapes.

• Junior urban designers with a strong interest in architectural history and historic environments
• Townscape analysis, character assessments, and heritage impact statements
• Measured surveys, photographic records, and conservation area appraisals
• Illustrative drawings showing how new development can sit successfully within historic settings
• Research into planning policy, heritage guidance, and listed building considerations
• AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and photographic documentation proficiency
