Design-led residential architecture across Stock and the surrounding villages.

Stock is one of Essex's most sought-after villages, known for its rural setting, generous plots and a mix of traditional and contemporary homes. It is a place where good design matters, and where thoughtful architecture can genuinely enhance the way people live.

Studio 40 is a RIBA Chartered architecture practice based in nearby Billericay. We combine architecture, interiors and project management, working with homeowners in Stock and the surrounding villages who want a genuinely considered approach to how they live. Not just a planning application.

Our approach starts with how you want to live, not how the building looks from the street. We listen carefully, test ideas thoroughly, and work with you from first conversation to completion. We place a strong emphasis on natural light, spatial flow and sustainability, helping to create homes that not only look good but perform well over time.

We regularly work across Stock, Billericay, Shenfield and Brentwood, which means we understand the local planning context, the character of the area, and the expectations that come with designing homes in this part of Essex.

If you are considering a project in Stock, whether extending, reworking or starting again, we would be happy to help you explore what is possible.

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