Creating value through design
Architects in Sherwood
Residential Architects in Sherwood
Looking to extend, renovate, or redesign your home in Sherwood? At AM2 Architects, we specialise in thoughtful, sustainable residential architecture across Nottingham. Whether you’re opening up a Victorian terrace, transforming a 1930s semi, or planning a new home on an infill plot, we help you turn potential into clarity, space, and long-term value.
Why Choose AM2 Architects for Your Sherwood Project?
Sherwood has become one of Nottingham’s most sought-after neighbourhoods — with a lively high street, characterful homes, and excellent connectivity to the city centre. It also presents architectural challenges: steep plots, tight access, conservation considerations, and neighbour impact. At AM2 Architects, we offer:
Planning & Design Expertise: We work regularly with Nottingham City Council, and understand the varied streetscapes of Sherwood — from Mansfield Road terraces to bungalow conversions in Woodthorpe.
Liveability-First Design: We shape every home around your lifestyle — improving light, flow, layout and comfort, without unnecessary complexity.
Long-Term Thinking: From layout logic to passive solar gains and breathable materials, our work is designed to last — practically, legally, and emotionally.
Our Architecture Services in Sherwood
1. Home Extensions
We design carefully balanced extensions — whether it’s a modest side-return, a bold kitchen-living space, or a two-storey rear addition. We prioritise neighbour-friendly massing and material sensitivity while adding light, connection, and utility.
2. Internal Reconfigurations
You don’t always need more space — just better space. We rework inefficient layouts, create flow between rooms, and bring daylight into the heart of your home — especially useful in mid-terraces and older semis.
3. Loft Conversions & Dormers
Sherwood’s housing stock is perfect for loft conversions. We design clean, proportionate dormers and rooflights that add space without disrupting the roofline — and guide you through permitted development or full planning applications.
4. One-Off New Builds & Infill Homes
If you’re building from scratch or replacing a tired bungalow, we design bespoke new homes that respect local context — whether it’s a narrow urban plot in Carrington or a wide suburban site in Woodthorpe.
Why Sherwood Homeowners Trust AM2 Architects
We help homeowners cut through the overwhelm — turning vague ideas into structured plans, and balancing ambition with realism. Our clients value our calm, strategic approach and our ability to work confidently within tight urban plots and neighbour-sensitive settings.
