Erbar Mattes offers a personal, value-driven service from concept to completion across diverse scales and budgets.

We transform ordinary buildings and interiors into distinctive spaces, guided by sensitivity to light, scale and material. We guide you through every stage of your project, simplifying decisions and delivering designs that are carefully coordinated, high-quality and tailored to your needs.

With extensive experience gaining planning approval for conservation areas and listed buildings, we craft architecture that harmoniously blends modern design with historic context.

We work closely with clients, developers, engineers, contractors, and other designers to provide early guidance on planning and construction, supporting informed decisions and effective budgeting.

Beginning with an initial assessment of the brief and existing conditions, we can offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to your project.

Client Testimonials

Wimbledon House

"I wake up every morning somewhere that makes me happy in a way that I never knew you could get from a house."

Blockmakers Arms

"Erbar Mattes supported the delivery of every detail. ... We love this house as it functions and looks now. ... Our home is where we start to interrelate to the world each day and the architecture expresses that connection for us."

Noblefield Heights

"Erbar Mattes carried out this brief with great precision and very thorough drawings. They went beyond our expectations by having the vision to recreate our living room area and kitchen into a beautiful bright space that has been the centrepiece of our home and a joy to be in."

Plykea

"We’ve lost count of how many times customers say "oh wow, you actually make it here!?" and have a walk around and say "hi" to the team and see things in motion. ... Our goal, which Erbar Mattes has successfully delivered, is for the whole space to function as one big showroom rather than its component parts."
