Design-led residential architecture across Essex, based in Billericay.

Studio 40 is a RIBA Chartered architecture practice based in Billericay. We combine architecture, interiors and project management, working with homeowners across Essex who want a genuinely considered approach to how they live. Not just a set of drawings, and not just a planning application.

We set up in Essex deliberately. Kieron, who grew up in Shenfield, trained and worked in London on some of the most demanding residential projects in the city before returning to Essex to build something it did not have: a practice with genuine design conviction, bringing London-calibre standards to projects across the county.

Our work spans Billericay, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Shenfield, Loughton, Maldon and beyond. Completed projects include a new build family home in Galleywood, a full refurbishment of a chalet bungalow in Shenfield just off Hutton Mount, a wrap-around extension in Billericay and a charred timber extension in Langford near Maldon. All are on our Case Studies page.

We are honest from the first conversation about what is achievable, what it will cost, and what the planning picture looks like. We work across a wide range of Essex planning authorities and understand the constraints that come with designing homes in the Green Belt, Conservation Areas and across the county's varied landscapes.

Our minimum construction value is £200,000. Full details of our fees and how we work are on our Costs page.
