Serving Mapperley Park, Mapperley Plains & Carlton (as well as across Nottingham)
Looking to transform, extend, or build your ideal home in Mapperley? At AM2 Architects, we specialise in bespoke, sustainable residential architecture across Nottingham — with extensive experience in Mapperley, Mapperley Park, and surrounding neighbourhoods like Carlton and Plains Estate. Whether you’re opening up a 1930s semi, modernising a detached on Mapperley Plains, or extending a period villa in Mapperley Park, we’ll guide you from concept to completion — calmly, clearly, and creatively.
Mapperley combines elevation, character and access — offering leafy streets, sweeping views, and a mix of heritage and post-war homes. But its range of styles, planning zones, and topographies require careful architectural strategy. At AM2 Architects, we bring:
Local Insight & Planning Experience: We work closely with Nottingham City Council and Gedling Borough Council, and understand the different planning priorities in Mapperley Park, Carlton Hill, and new estates along Arnold Lane.
Design That Balances Space and Flow: Whether reworking a layout or adding an extension, we focus on natural light, liveability, and smart transitions — not just square metres.
Sustainability Built In: From thermal upgrades and glazing strategies to breathable materials and future-proof layouts, sustainability is integrated at every level.
From side-return infills in Mapperley Park to full-width rear extensions off Carlton Hill, we create additions that enhance your home’s value and clarity — without overloading the original structure or overwhelming the plot.
Mapperley’s 1930s semis and larger detached homes are ideal for well-proportioned loft conversions. We design dormers and rooflights that deliver function and light without disrupting the street character.
Many homes in Mapperley already have enough space — it just isn’t working hard enough. We redesign layouts to create better flow, multi-use family zones, and stronger connections between inside and out.
If you’re working with a side plot, garden site, or backland parcel, we’ll help you design a bespoke home that respects the local context — particularly important in conservation areas like Mapperley Park.
We don’t just draw plans — we help you make confident, design-smart decisions about your home. Our clients across Mapperley and Carlton value our calm process, strategic insight, and ability to guide projects through tricky planning or budget constraints while protecting the end vision.
We start with a conversation — listening to your ideas, reviewing the site, and advising on design potential, planning context, and practical timelines.
We prepare concept sketches and refine them with you — balancing lifestyle needs, planning strategy, and long-term value.
We handle full applications to Nottingham City or Gedling Borough Council — preparing all drawings and planning statements, and liaising with case officers as needed.
We prepare detailed building control and tender drawings — ensuring your project complies with regulations and is priced accurately by contractors.
Need help on site? We can monitor progress, coordinate with your builder, and help protect the quality and intent of the design.
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.
Don’t just take our word for it—see what our clients say about working with AM2 Architects. Our commitment to excellence has earned us glowing reviews for projects across Nottingham and Lincolnshire.
