Hello from Matt & Kevin — Birmingham's Residential Architecture Specialists
EXPERT. CREATIVE. KNOWLEDGEABLE. INSPIRING. DEDICATED. APPROACHABLE. ARCHITECTS
We’re Kevin Fellows and Matthew Parr, the directors of The General Architecture Company. Based in Bournville, Birmingham,
we’ve spent over 15 years helping homeowners across the West Midlands turn their ideas into built reality. From a simple
kitchen extension to a full listed building alteration, we specialise in designing for Birmingham’s rich stock of period, character
and heritage properties — and we design spaces that work.
With more than 400 completed projects behind us, we know what it takes to navigate Birmingham’s planning landscape.
Whether you’re in a Bournville Village Trust property, a conservation area, or a Victorian terrace in Kings Heath, we understand
the local rules — and how to work with them.

Our Proven 6 Step Package
The first stage is for us to undertake a full survey of the property. We fully measure the existing building to get a complete understanding of the property. We use the existing drawings as the basis for the design.
We start with the layout of the spaces and how they relate. Getting the layout right is the key to a successful project. We produce a number of options, and then work with you to clarify your likes and dislikes.
We offer a 3D service that creates a detailed model of your proposed project. This gives you a real understanding of the design and spaces that we are designing for you with images and a flythrough movie.
When the design is agreed, we put together the full package of information required for the submission to the Local Authority. We manage the full application responding to queries and negotiating as necessary on your behalf.
We will create a full set of detailed technical construction drawings for your project. We are regularly commended on the detail and quality of our drawings by contractors.
We submit the technical drawings on your behalf to provide the approval that confirms compliance with the latest Building Regulations.
