Surrey is one of the most desirable counties in England, and its residential property reflects that. From Grade II listed cottages in the Surrey Hills to contemporary family homes in commuter-belt towns, every project demands a balance of ambition and sensitivity. That is exactly what we deliver.
We evaluate your property’s potential against the specific planning policies of your local authority — whether that is Woking Borough, Guildford Borough, Surrey Heath, or another council. This initial assessment saves time and ensures your design ambitions are achievable.

Surrey is one of the most architecturally diverse counties in the south of England. The county’s housing stock ranges from medieval timber-framed buildings in the Surrey Hills to Georgian townhouses in Guildford, Edwardian villas in Woking’s conservation areas, interwar suburban developments, and contemporary new-builds.
This diversity demands architects who understand the specific character of each area. A loft conversion in a 1930s Woking semi requires a completely different approach to a rear extension on a listed property in Shere. At Habito Designs, we bring this local understanding to every project.
Surrey is covered by multiple local planning authorities, each with its own policies. Woking Borough Council, Guildford Borough Council, Surrey Heath Borough Council, Runnymede Borough Council, Elmbridge Borough Council, and Waverley Borough Council all have distinct approaches to residential development, Green Belt protections, and conservation areas. Our experience spans these authorities, allowing us to navigate the planning process efficiently regardless of your location.
Our brief to Habito Designs and Priti was a simple one but difficult. Turn our quirky Edwardian house with its complicated roof structure into something beautiful. She worked hard to solve the problems which our house gifted her. We were amazed when she finally showed us a design of what she proposed. Well done and thank you Priti.
I have been highly delighted working with Habito, the hard work has been taken out of my hands, the undertaking of the design has been an inspiration. My project is finished on time & within budget! I am looking forward to the next project. Thank you
Priti at Habito Designs took extra care to understand all elements of the project, budget constraints and works to deliver above and beyond quality work. She looked after our tired looking 1970 house, from start to finish, providing everything that was needed to finish our extension. Highly recommended, very thorough and professional service with good advice throughout.
Excellent experience. After our brief, Priti came back with ideas that suited our needs. She gave a clear explanation of the different options and helped us along at every stage. The whole process was a lot less stressful because of her input! Highly recommend!
Really professional, helpful and creative. While we’re still at design and planning stages, Priti at Habito Designs had lots of good ideas to meet our wants list for the build. A professional company that understands the clients brief and improves it from their experience and vision.
Priti has handled our project of refurbishing the indoor swimming pool and creating a new gym area. She has dealt with every aspect of the project, including initial design, defining budget, selecting contractors, suggesting style and materials, dealing with the ongoing works etc etc. We are very glad we hired her, as she has done an excellent job from start to finish. We couldn't have done without her. Highly recommend!
Priti understood our needs, and that was clearly reflected in her designs. Her client service skills are superb. She was always a phone call away if we had questions and explained her drawings or the process before we proceeded to the next step. She was on top of things and kept us in the loop until our planning permission was approved. Highly recommended.
We used Habito Designs to help convert the garage and re-design the downstairs layout. Priti was great to bring our ideas to life and dealt well with our changing ideas! She managed the whole planning application process on our behalf which was really helpful. Would recommend.
We have used Habito Designs previously and cannot recommend Priti highly enough. Priti helped us every step of the way and was extremely professional throughout the process. She came up with new ideas, listened carefully to what we wanted and got us the perfect designs. Would certainly use again.
Priti is an amazing architect with great vision and communication. I have no problems with recommending her to my clients. Keep up the great work!
