What We Do

Picture

We are residential specialist RIBA & ARB qualified Architects with a passion for creating high quality and well designed homes for both homeowners and property investors across the UK.
We place design at the forefront of everything we do and firmly believe that great design is proportional to our creativity, resourcefulness and effort, not budget.
We pride ourselves on our ability to maximise the potential of property through intelligent and practical use of space whilst creating beautiful homes that people love it live in.
​In addition to our architectural services, we also invest in property ourselves acquiring 
unloved, unmodernised properties and transforming them into well designed, high quality contemporary homes complete with our signature Scandinavian style interiors.

Who we are


Pedersen + Smith was founded in 2017 by us, Emma Smith and Mikael Pedersen. We met at Liverpool University during our architecture studies and have since continued our architecture journey in London and the South East.
We are passionate about designing and improving properties. In particularly unlocking the potential of dilapidated and rundown properties.
In addition to running our architecture studio, we keen 'DIYers' with several home renovations under our belt. Through our own investment projects and years of experience, we have developed a unique and pragmatic approach to our design.
We are inspired by Mikael's danish roots and our design is influenced by the Scandinavian 'open and honest' approach to design and architecture.
