Residential Architects in Mapperley
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.
Why Choose AM2 Architects for Your Mapperley Project?
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.
Our Architecture Services in Mapperley
1. Home Extensions
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.
2. Loft Conversions & Dormers
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.
3. Internal Reconfigurations
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.
4. One-Off New Builds & Infill Homes
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.
