Serving Groby, Glenfield, and West Leicestershire
Thinking about upgrading, extending, or building a home in Groby? At AM2 Architects, we help homeowners unlock the full potential of their property through thoughtful design, smart planning strategies, and a process built on clarity and trust. Whether you're refreshing a post-war family home, reconfiguring a 1970s layout, or building your forever house near Groby Pool, we deliver tailored, planning-aware architecture that makes living better — not just bigger.
Groby sits at a crossroads between rural beauty and suburban convenience — close to Bradgate Park, yet firmly within Leicester’s commuter belt. This setting brings both planning opportunities and conservation sensitivities, particularly for projects near the Charnwood Forest fringe. We guide you through it all with:
Local Planning Experience: We work with Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council and understand Groby’s development patterns, policies, and constraints.
Design for Daily Life: We focus on flow, light, and layout — not just how your home looks, but how it feels to live in.
Clear, Client-First Process: We make your journey simple and structured, from the first sketch to planning submission and builder coordination.
From single-storey open-plan kitchen extensions to two-storey additions with extra bedrooms, we design well-proportioned upgrades that suit both your property and the village character.
Many homes in Groby were built in eras when layouts were segmented and disconnected. We reshape existing floorplans to create better family flow, connection to the garden, and flexible living zones.
Got a garden plot, backland site, or rural edge opportunity? We design new homes that sit comfortably within their setting, meet planning expectations, and feel just right to live in.
Groby’s older stone homes and conservation area pockets require a careful approach. We provide respectful, character-sensitive design and full heritage support documentation.
Our designs quietly incorporate passive solar design, breathable materials, and energy-efficient detailing — giving you homes that perform well in every season.
We create homes that respond to who you are, where you live, and how you want to feel. Homeowners in Groby, Glenfield, Newtown Linford, and Ratby trust AM2 for our clean design approach, local planning knowledge, and calm, transparent process. Whether you’re solving a space problem or designing your next chapter, we’re here to make it seamless and meaningful.
We begin by listening. You share your goals, we explore your site, and we offer early insight on what’s realistic — and what’s exciting.
We sketch and test ideas that fit your life, your home, and your context — showing you what’s possible, and how to move forward.
We handle all documentation, drawings, and communication with Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council, including design access statements and conservation inputs when needed.
We produce clear technical drawings for builders and regulators — improving cost certainty and build quality.
If desired, we stay involved during the build to safeguard your design and support clear, efficient progress on site.
Our project highlights showcase a diverse range of architectural designs, reflecting our expertise in delivering innovative, functional, and sustainable solutions. From modern new builds to thoughtful heritage restorations, each project demonstrates our commitment to client satisfaction and attention to detail.
