Whiteman Architects is a young Epsom based architecture practice covering London and Surrey. Formed by Lee Whiteman in 2018, the practice focuses on domestic architecture working with private clients, house builders and property developers.

Our approach is to listen to and understand the clients' needs and aspirations which is fundamental to the design process. We work hard to invest time in carefully considered designs and work collaboratively with our clients using various mediums to communicate our ideas. We start with the fundamentals of feasibility and appraisal of the site, we’ll scope and lead the project through design, planning, construction and all the way to the finishing touches of interior design.

Our approach is to work closely with clients throughout the project, bringing it to life through hand sketches, models and digital images. Each home can be viewed differently with every client having a different brief. We look at every project with a fresh approach and every project has time invested to create something unique and purposeful.
