Who we are
Dominic McKenzie Architects (DMA) offer award-winning architectural services across Chelsea and West London. Our creative team specialise in high-end contemporary architecture in historic settings, such as listed buildings or in Conservation Areas, making it a perfect fit for working in Chelsea. For each project we collaborate closely with our clients to offer a truly bespoke service. Our ambition is always to contribute to the “great heritage significance” (as described in the Cheyne Walk Conservation Area statement) that already exists within the area.
DMA was founded in 2011 by architect Dominic McKenzie. Before setting up his own practice, Dominic gained many years of award-winning architecture experience: including the RIBA Stirling Prize winning Accordia housing project in Cambridge.
Since then the awards and recognition have continued:
-In 2021 DMA won the ‘Best Residential’ project in the Homes and Gardens Awards for their project ‘Hampstead House’. Wallpaper* described the project: ‘At the same time an effortless flow and carefully chosen materials throughout both existing and new parts bring everything together in a coherent whole, underlining a clear sense of subtle luxury that makes this Hampstead home stand out among its peers.’
-In 2019 DMA were recipients of the NLA ‘Don’t Move Improve’ award for ‘Best Historic Intervention’ for their project Tower House.
-In 2016 DMA was selected for Wallpaper* magazine’s Architect’s Directory – ‘ a selection of ‘the world’s best young architectural talent’ and was included in the Architecture Foundation’s ‘New Architects 3’ book which showcases ‘the best new practices in the UK since 2005’.
-In 2014 ’Eidolon House’ won the Sunday Times British Homes Award for ‘Best One-Off House below 2500sqft’ and was included as a feature project in the Channel 4 TV series ‘Inside Out Homes’.
What we do
DMA specialises in transforming existing properties, particularly listed buildings and buildings in conservation areas. We are passionate about creating designs that are contemporary, while being highly sensitive to the architectural context we work in.
Our Process
Our process is straightforward and transparent and puts the client’s vision at the heart of the process.
When you get in touch with us, we will arrange a site visit to come and visit the property. We will discuss the project with you to learn about your vision. We will then provide you with a detailed fee proposal for the project from first designs through to construction.
