Our Story 

Pedersen + Smith's story began when co-founders Emma Smith and Mikael Pedersen first met at University in 2011 whilst studying for their Architectural Master's Degrees. Fast forward 9 years after many successful years working as Architects and design professionals in London they combined their passions for high quality, contemporary and design focused architecture to form their own architectural company and property investment company.

Pedersen Smith Architects Ltd specialises in residential projects ranging from contemporary homeowner projects to new builds to HMO conversions and larger commercial to residential conversions for property investors across the UK. P+S firmly believes that all homes, whether they are owner occupied or rented, should be well designed and high quality which means they apply the same expertise, skill and attention to detail to both homeowner and investor projects. Where Pedersen Smith differs from other Architectural practices is that they also undertake their own property investment projects - flips, HMOs and serviced accommodation through their sister company Pedersen Smith Developments Ltd. P+S Developments specialises in acquiring run down, unmodernised properties in great locations and transforms them into well designed, high quality properties complete with P+S's signature Scandinavian interiors staying true to their Danish roots and providing homes that people love to live in.​ 

Our Core Values

Design at the Forefront

We believe everyone should live in a well designed and quality home that they love and feel relaxed and comfortable in. We believe design quality is not proportional to budget, it is proportional to our creativity, resourcefulness and effort which we pride ourselves in.​ 

Quality in Service

We are committed to providing high quality designs alongside clear and accurate information and advice to our clients. We focus on achieving your goals and do all we can to achieve the desired outcome. ​

Integrity

Pedersen Smith has strong moral standards embodying our principles of truth, trust and reliability. We conduct ourselves in the best possible manner so that our company reflects our own good character.
