Our Story
We are a commercial architectural practice specialising in helping investors achieve the highest return in the shortest amount of time.
We support our clients
throughout England and Wales.
Our expert team can take care of the full HMO development journey for you, from concept to planning & building control, through to construction. Enabling you to focus on securing your next while we design high-quality accommodation for your tenants or future buyers.
HMO Architects will help and support you every step of the way, whether you require planning permissions or even nee to get in touch with the local authorities on your behalf (for example, we will communicate on your behalf when applying for planning permissions).
In 2017, HMO Architects was sparked by a bold idea between two driven professionals: Ryan Windsor, a savvy property investor, and Giovanni Patania, an architect with experience at Foster + Partners. A chance meeting ignited a shared vision—creating high-yield properties without sacrificing design. With Ryan’s strategic insight and Giovanni’s architectural talent, they turned a few early projects into a powerhouse firm. Today, HMO Architects is trusted across the UK to transform ambitious visions into high-return property portfolios.
