About Us
We design architecture that is simple, timeless and considered. Based near Preston, Lancashire, our award-winning studio creates homes that blend intelligent design with everyday living - spaces that look beautiful, feel effortless and are built to last.
SJR Architecture was founded by Samantha with a passion for creating thoughtful, practical and beautifully designed homes. Every project is personally overseen from the initial consultation through to planning and technical design, ensuring clients receive a consistent, personal service throughout.
Based near Preston, Lancashire SJR has worked on projects ranging from home extensions and renovations to bespoke new-builds and housing developments.
We have also had the privilege of contributing to the BBC’s DIY SOS – an experience that reinforced my belief that great design has the power to genuinely improve people’s lives. During my time studying I was selected to appear on the show 60 Minute Makeover after being recognised as one of the top students and i loved that experience.
The practice has been recognised with industry awards and is committed to combining creative design with practical solutions that add lasting value.
Whether the project is a simple extension or a complete new home, the aim is always the same: to create spaces that are tailored to you – our client.

Every project is unique, which is why we take the time to understand your vision, your lifestyle and your goals before putting pen to paper. From the initial consultation through to planning approval and technical drawings, you'll work directly with the founder, ensuring a personal, responsive service at every stage. Our aim is simple: to create thoughtful, practical designs that not only look exceptional but also enhance the way you live, work and enjoy your space.
"Architecture isn't just about designed buildings or homes - it's about creating spaces that improve everyday life. The philosophy behind every project we undertake."
