HERITAGE ARCHITECTS LONDON: Patalab Architects
Patalab Architects: Your partner to realise heritage and conservation projects in London
Heritage Architects London - Patalab Architects is an award-winning architectural practice, delivering heritage building projects of varying scales in London. Established in 2008, Patalab provides a personal and tailored approach to deliver high quality construction projects in London for private, commercial and institutional clients. We work closely with Historic England, London Planning Authorities, and local societies and have been involved in over 120 heritage projects, dealing with Grade 1, Grade 2*, and Grade 2 listed buildings, or buildings in conservation areas.
Our heritage projects in London include conservation, refurbishment, remodelling and extension projects.
Combining Passion for Historic Fabric with Economical & Contextual Understanding
Conservation Areas cover much of London, whilst many properties are listed to protect special architectural and historic interest. A considered approach is therefore required to maximise the site’s potential and a return on investment. Our methodology combines a passion for historic fabric with an understanding of economical and contextual parameters. It responds to meeting our clients’ expectations and has been acknowledged with a number of industry awards.

Planning Your Heritage Project
A Brief Guide for Residential Clients
We have prepared a guide for private clients to assist uncovering your objectives, highlighting key considerations and outlining the delivery process. It is based on our experience working with private clients over the last 13 years, delivering a wide range of residential projects in Camden and further afield.
Client Testimonials
Our project was a tricky one - refurbishing and upgrading an early Victorian, Grade II* listed townhouse and making it suitable for contemporary family life. Navigating listed building consents, planning approvals, landlord's licences and of course, construction, was quite a journey! Throughout, Uwe, Jordan and Sophie offered consistent and constructive guidance. Their positive outlook proved invaluable, turning what could have been a stressful process into a really rewarding collaboration. We very much enjoyed working with them and we're looking forward to our next project with Patalab
What used to be a small one bedroom flat is now a beautiful and generous two bedroom apartment, filled with light and great ceiling height. This refurbishment and extension required planning permission and listed building consent. Uwe and Jordan have excellently guided us through this process and achieved the maximum amount of additional space. I especially appreciate the dramatic new stairwell which makes the approach to the living spaces on the second floor a joyful experience.
Patalab was recommended to me and after my initial meeting with Uwe, discussing design ideas and how to realise them I decided to go ahead. A decision I have not regretted. Not only was I very impressed by Patalab's exceptional attention to detail but also the smooth delivery, managing design and construction processes very competently.
I am very happy with the turnout and love the interplay between colours, materials and spaces.
We were very happy with the services provided by Patalab, particularly with regard to their level of commitment to design. They were professional throughout the project and the level of aftercare was exceptional.

We are passionate and experienced architects and designers. Our award-winning designs give evidence of our expertise. Our ambition is to deliver high quality, sustainable and economically viable projects to the full satisfaction of our clients.
Site development
We carry out strategic reviews for the development of premises to unlock the site’s potential and assess planning requirements.
Refurbishment
We are passionate about working with existing buildings. Based on a thorough investigation we develop sensitive and innovative approaches how to sustainably adapt and transform existing structures into contemporary spaces.
Interior Design
Whether residential or office building, optimal organization of the interior spaces is vital. For us, the boundaries between architecture and interior design are fluid. Accordingly, we offer not only architectural but also interior design services. These can include, for example, design of all internal surfaces, design of built-in furniture, proposals for loose furniture and the development of lighting concepts.
Heritage
Each listed building is to be assessed on its own merit. Repair and restoration on one hand, and modern technology and construction methods on the other can both be appropriate responses depending on the context. In our approach we appreciate and accentuate achievements of previous generations and seek to complement these situations with our own contemporary interventions.
