Hello, we’re CATO creative.
An ARB Registered architecture, interior design and planning agency based in South West London whose sole purpose is to create homes our clients love. These are homes designed for living that are beautiful, practical and as individual as the people who live in them.
We believe that designing your home should be fun, engaging, and a little challenging too if you are prepared to push yourself further than what you know and what is ordinary. So whether you’re unlocking space in a basement, adding a loft conversion, extending your kitchen or reimagining your entire home, we can help you bring your extension, refurbishment or full home transformation to life.
Basement Extensions – light-filled, functional spaces below ground
Loft Extensions & Conversions – flexible, invaluable living space above
Ground Floor Extensions – reimagine & improve the flow of living spaces
Whole Home Refurbishments – redesign and renewal of entire homes
Interior Design – finishes, fittings, and furniture that bring spaces to life
Architecture – space, light, flow & structure to create homes that work
Flat Refurbishments – unlock space, light, and storage for modern living
Sustainable Design & Retrofit – comfort, efficiency & reduce energy
From compact city flats to large family homes, we believe every project deserves the same level of care and attention. Always focusing on clever solutions that maximise space, light and value, we adapt our approach to suit your needs, project size, ambition and budget.
Size Matters
Designing your home is a partnership. We work closely with you to understand your needs, explore ideas and create designs that feel truly yours. Alongside you, we coordinate the right consultants, contractors and specialists – ensuring a smooth process and a well-delivered project.
Collaboration

Starting with concept design, we guide projects through all statutory approvals, including planning and building control. We producing detailed drawings for tender and construction. Our architects and interior designers develop and specify every detail making sure your design is connected and seamless.
Great design is only half the story. During construction, we act as the guardians of your design. Whether working with a project manager or directly with the contractor, we make sure spaces are set out correctly, challenges are solved quickly, and the finished build matches the vision.
