About us

LA London (formerly Lees Associates) is an architecture and interior design practice specialising in prime residential, retail, commercial and hotel projects. From our base in London Bridge we work for private clients and developers throughout London, the UK and internationally. With over forty years’ experience, we have established ourselves as one of the UK’s foremost luxury design and delivery practices with a proud reputation for achieving the highest quality within an agreed budget and programme. Our developer clients value our experience in the private sector and our ability to use this to deliver the equivalent quality on a development budget. Likewise, our experience from developments allows us to help our private clients to achieve optimum value for money. LA London's approach to each project is centred around a steadfast commitment to servicing the fundamental needs of the client and their project. Every project is director-led with an appropriate design team being drawn from the practice’s own staff of talented architects, interior designers and technicians. Our clients recognise how the care and attention to detail that we invest in every project ensures a smooth process from concept to completion. We place an emphasis on risk management throughout our projects and keep clients apprised with full transparency. Our reputation for leading design teams on high-profile, high-value projects with professionalism and care has led us to be regularly invited to act as executive architect for some of the world’s foremost designers. We have a wealth of experience working with existing buildings, working with conservation officers on heritage aspects while maximising the potential for fulfilling contemporary uses and lifestyles. In this way we add real measurable value to the properties we work on.

    We had the pleasure of hosting LA London for a #WellnessMorning at the Technogym London Hub, bringing together top architects for a day of wellness, innovation, and design. The event began with an energizing yoga session, followed by a showcase of our latest Technogym products and their impact on fitness spaces. We also shared valuable interior design insights for gym designs, highlighting the importance of creating spaces that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and conducive to a healthy lifestyle. A big thank you to LA London Architects and all attendees—we look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of wellness and design together.

  • From Iron Age Fort to Regency Marvel: Revisiting Camp End Manor In 2012, the LA London team was asked to design a new Regency-style home in the prestigious St George’s Hill area in Weybridge, on top of what was once an Iron Age fort. The award-winning house, Camp End Manor, features an elegant basement spa, a ‘floating’ stone staircase – and ample roof space for resident bats. In our latest Journal post, Managing Partner Andrew Paulson looks back on this extraordinary project. Read the full post: https://lnkd.in/eWARAg7R
