As one of the most popular areas to live in the West Midlands, Solihull has been long been an important focus for our work and, at Lapworth Architects, our residential designs complement Solihull’s unique urbs in rure character.
Led by Michael Kalam since 2010, Lapworth Architects have worked extensively in the Solihull area for over 20 years, providing design excellence to residential and commercial clients all round the area.
As a large, wealthy town close to the countryside, Solihull has always been an important focus for our residential work, and we’ve built dozens of private houses and home extensions in the town itself, suburbs like Shirley and nearby villages such as Dorridge.
Our long experience in the area helps us hugely with potentially thorny issues such as planning or green belt issues, and we have serious and productive relationships with organisations like Solihull Council’s planning department or English Heritage.
But whether you’re looking for a new build house or two on a plot of land you own, or looking to modernise and extend your current dwelling, Lapworth’s team of Solihull architects and planners can help you.

Every project we’ve done in the area has been carefully designed, planned, built and finished to an excellent spec, whether for a developer or private individual. Most of our work in Solihull are generally full service projects needing special attention, with dozens of listed building projects, in conservation areas, green belt schemes or new build apartments dotted around.
We’re proud to have won various prestigious industry awards for our residential designs from several regional and national organisations, winning awards such as the CABE ‘Building for Life’ Gold award, the Green Tree Awards and several categories of the Birmingham Post Housing Design Awards.
More recently we’ve featured in the Housebuilder Awards 2019 for our work on Haseley Manor, and we featured in the Sunday Times British Homes Awards 2019 for our Courtyard Gardens development and additional landscaping.
Closer to home, our projects in Solihull include refurbishment and conservation projects at Dorothy’s Gate and Beechnut Lane, as well as Oakland and Olton Courts. Further out of town, we’ve also designed fantastic new-build houses at Woodlea Drive and an impressive mansion with bespoke features on sought-after Lovelace Avenue, surrounded by lovely countryside.
Whether you’re looking for a sleek new open-plan kitchen-diner, to restore antique architectural features, futureproof your current home, downsize in style or make the best return on investment you can – we can help you at any stage of your project, from high-quality architectural drawings for your Solihull home to project management and principal designer work.
In addition to our design work, we can help you get approval for your project from planners at Solihull Council, find contractors, project manage and get your build complete – we’ve got a great professional reputation, with a lot of our work coming from recommendations and word of mouth.
