“George Omalianakis Architecture Studio – GOAStudio” was set up in 2009 with the intention to provide architectural services and assist home owners with their residential projects.
George Omalianakis is a multi-award winning chartered architect with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB), and has extensive experience in working on a variety of residential, commercial and educational sectors, including on RIBA award winning projects.
Local knowledge
We see ourselves as creative problem solvers who will deal with any construction, planning, and design issues that might be relevant to your project. As a result we are able to make informed planning arguments and liaise with planning case officers in a way that we always maximise what is possible to be achieved in each case; we often obtain planning approvals for projects that were refused approval previously. We provide architectural services for residential projects across north, south, east, west and central London with most of our projects in the Boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Hounslow, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham, Richmond, Wandworth and Westminster.
Team work
Builders | We are happy to recommend builders we have worked with successfully in the past and ask them to provide quotes for your project. Some of our very best projects have been the result of a co-ordinated and efficient collaboration between design and building teams that have worked with in the past and they have become able to resolve issues quickly and creatively.
Client focus
At GOAStudio | London residential architecture we provide a friendly and professional service that responds to the needs and aspirations of our clients.
Things people have said about us:
“We love the contrasting elements George incorporated into the design of our small extension, such as the pitched vs flat roof, the high vs low ceilings, and the dark vs light areas. His design is also extremely practical – from the layout of the kitchen to the utility area – and demonstrates that George has thought about how we might go about living in the space on a day to day basis, and not just how it might look on project completion.
George’s advice has also been helpful throughout our project and we appreciated in particular his breadth of knowledge on all matters related to our extension project. He appreciated constraints in terms of building size, requirements and budget, and suggested various practical options for us to consider. In the end we now have a truly unique design for our project. He was also very approachable and friendly, and incorporated many of the suggestions we made, so we felt as if we were part of the design team.”

Team work
Structural engineer | The services of a structural engineer are often needed at the Building Regulations stage; the engineer is the professional who is qualified to calculate loads, specify the size of beams/columns and design foundations based on specific structural loads.
Landscape architect | We also like to work with landscape architects who can bring a lot to the table when it comes to considering external spaces in more detail. Often a garden is not only the functional area where family life takes place; a landscaped garden is often the main view, the focal point and an extension of a living area and a beautiful external space can add a lot to the home living experience.

Create Beautiful Interiors While Increasing Functionality
As residential architects in London, our designs often need to achieve multiple requirements while at the same time resulting in simplicity and clarity of form and function. Functionality must come at the heart of every project, to make home life more enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. At the same time we take every opportunity to add touches of personality and beauty and surprise in our designs too.
Throughout every project, whether grand or small, subtle or bold, we will interpret your brief requirements, we will “listen” to what your property says and how it suggests to be altered, and we will come up with design proposals that explore possibilities according to your budget and to what might be possible in terms of planning and other approvals.
With our design-led team seamlessly working to assimilate all aspects of your requirements and aspirations we will create spaces that dramatically improve quality of life and will add value to your property too.
