G.o.a Studio

George Omalianakis is a multi-award winning chartered architect with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB), and has extensive experience in working on a variety of residential, commercial and educational sectors, including on RIBA award winning projects. At GOAStudio | London residential architecture we assist home owners to create their perfect homes. An RIBA residential architect is the professional to guide you through your project, develop your design ideas, obtain local authority approvals on your behalf, and manage the whole process from initial sketches to liaising with the builder and other professionals.

These days our home lives have become multi-dimensional with different priorities and preferences compared to the era our homes were built. Even homes built more recently follow old conversions with strict separation between dining, kitchen, and living areas, and as part of any residential renovation we look to identify how your needs respond to what the property has to offer. How long do we plan to live in the property and how is our lifestyle likely to change over this time? What are the chances for a growing family, working from home, or picking up gardening as a hobby one day?

At GOA Studio, our award-winning practice has ample experience in transforming kitchens across London. Whether you're looking to maintain traditional London build features, or add a contemporary twist on a classic design, we can make your vision a reality. The traditional kitchen is no more. With our current fast-paced lifestyle, a kitchen has to offer so much more functionality than simply a place to cook and store food. A kitchen may be a place for the family to gather, it may be a space to unwind and relax after a hard day, the room where you can switch off and focus on your hobbies, it may be the life and soul of the party.

Modern lifestyles and family living often require that a visual and spatial connection is established between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, and the rear part of the house. When designing a contemporary extension an architect will respond by trying to open up the back wall to create sightlines, views, and circulation paths between the internal and external spaces. We will talk to you about what is important, and try to get a sense of how you will live, work and play in your new environment.

London is home to a diverse typology of properties and home-owners with a variety of needs. House extensions aim to create specific solutions to given needs and context, and no two projects are the same. Consider GOAStudio as your problem solvers, who will help you create the right environment for your home and lifestyle requirements. House extensions types can be grouped in a variety of ways. Below we have selected some projects to lend architectural inspiration and design ideas for your house extension.

We provide home consultations to property buyers and homeowners who look to remodel and extend their homes. Each consultation with a chartered architect costs 200.00, it will last up to two hours and we will have a chance to assess what you propose to do to your home, work on some initial sketches, and go through any design, construction and planning issues that might be relevant to your project. An RIBA architect is the professional who can recognise the potential of a property to become your ideal home and foresee construction issues that, when identified at an early stage, can keep costs to a minimum.

Roof extensions are the most cost-effective way to maximise the floor area of your house or flat when compared to adding the same floor area with a rear or side extension. Below we have selected some projects to lend architectural inspiration and design ideas for your roof extension or loft conversion. Designing the staircase is the single most important thing we will need to consider for any type of roof extension or loft conversion. There are Building Regulation restrictions in regards to the risers, goings, and head heights with regards to the staircase.
