We offer innovative space solutions and a broad range of architectural services for residential, commercial, and community buildings.

We use hand-drawn sketches, detailed drawings, and 3D modelling to maintain high-quality standards throughout all project phases. Jatinder’s passion for architecture began in childhood, influenced by his family's involvement in building trades. He pursued an education in architecture, culminating in chartership in 2004. Stones is a member of the Architects Registration Board (ARB), the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), and the Association of Consultant Architects (ACA). Inspired by renowned architects like Corbusier and Kahn, Jatinder brings a genuine love for design to every project. His notable work includes Sikh temples in Wolverhampton and Wokingham, the Durden’s Park Pavilion in Southall, and The Kingshead Hotel in Roehampton.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterOnly someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK. Ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts (a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate) and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded (the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site), and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
