Architects working in Farnham and across Surrey

Our work is grounded in the belief that good architecture should feel calm, thoughtful and effortless to use in everyday life. Whether it’s a new home, a substantial refurbishment or the transformation of an existing building, we approach each project with care, clarity and a focus on long-term value.

From our studio near Midhurst, we work in Farnham and throughout Surrey, creating architecture that responds carefully to its context and the way our clients want to live.

How this shapes your home

Many of our projects in and around Farnham involve carefully adapting existing homes or creating replacement dwellings that make better use of their site. Our approach is always to understand how you want to live before developing an architectural response that feels both timeless and personal.

What we do

We combine architecture, interior design and project management to guide projects from early ideas through planning, technical design and construction to completion.

We typically work on high-quality residential projects where design clarity and long-term value are central to the brief.

Why George & James

Good architecture should feel quietly confident, supporting everyday life while sitting naturally within its surroundings. That belief runs through everything we do, from early conversations and concept design through to planning, technical delivery and construction.

Working in Farnham and throughout Surrey has given us experience with a wide range of residential projects, from rural homes and historic properties to contemporary extensions and replacements. Clients often choose us because they want a small, experienced team who can guide them clearly through the process and help make confident design decisions at every stage. Above all, we focus on creating homes that feel thoughtful, practical and carefully considered.

Every successful project begins with a conversation.

Client Testimonials.

  • “George and James Architects have created a light, open and sociable space – a new focal point for the house and our family, and exactly what we were looking for. Their management of the whole process, from initial designs, through to planning approval and then the build itself was seamless and efficient.”

    Aled & Francesca, Clissold Crescent

  • “Our architects have created a simple and comfortable extension which has transformed the house. We valued their ability to work within our limited budget without cutting corners or compromising the design. They were unfailingly helpful and responsive to our needs and we are very happy with the results.”

    Arlington Avenue, James and Effric

  • “We wanted to express such deep thanks and gratitude to all those at George and James that have made our ‘summer auction purchase’ the most spectacular set of buildings and most importantly a place to bring up our children – a home beyond anything we imagined when we bought our burnt down site in 2020. We have also thoroughly appreciated how George and James have pulled it all together, from dealing with the planners, the design team and the contractor, all the hard inches that can easily be forgotten when it’s all complete and incredible. You are such a fantastic team with a wonderful set of values and work ethic.”

    Homeowner

  • “I am an architect myself with a lifetime’s experience and George and James is the firm I picked to work with to support me in every aspect of a significant personal project. I picked them because they understand what it takes to make a really good building. They understand their business, they are up to date and they do what they say they will do. They are, in my experience, completely reliable. They have an exact knowledge of the project and always seem to anticipate issues before they become a problem as well as instantly recall exactly how something should be done. They are attentive to budget and programme, thorough in providing and coordinating information, and inventive and sensible about how detail is both developed and carefully integrated into an architectural composition. As a client, I have found them to be calm and consistent, positive and patient and a pleasure to work with.”

  • “Simon was both friendly and professional in equal measure — the perfect balance, in our opinion.”
