About MSK Design Architectural Design and Planning Practice in Barnet
MSK Design Ltd is a multidisciplinary architectural design and planning practice based in High Barnet, delivering residential and mixed-use projects across Barnet, Enfield, North London and surrounding boroughs since 2007.
We provide architectural design, planning strategy, technical design and project delivery services for homeowners, developers and property owners, from early feasibility and concept design through to planning approval, Building Regulations, tender, construction support and project completion.
Our work combines planning strategy, thoughtful architecture, technical coordination, interior design and construction management. We focus on creating practical, well-designed and buildable schemes that respond to the client’s brief, the site context and the requirements of the local planning authority.
Architectural Design, Planning and Project Delivery
MSK Design provides a joined-up service for residential and mixed-use projects.
Our role often begins with early advice: understanding what a client wants to achieve, reviewing the property or site, identifying planning risks and setting out the most appropriate route forward.
Depending on the project, this may involve permitted development, a Lawful Development Certificate, householder planning permission, full planning permission, pre-application advice, technical design, contractor tendering or construction stage support.
By combining design, planning and delivery experience, we help clients make informed decisions from the start.

Planning-Led Design
Planning strategy sits at the centre of our work.
Many projects fail or become delayed because planning constraints are considered too late. We review planning policy, site history, neighbouring relationships, design constraints and development potential early in the process.
This helps identify whether a project is best approached through permitted development, a Lawful Development Certificate, householder planning permission, full planning permission or a more detailed planning strategy.
Our aim is to shape proposals that are not only attractive and functional, but also realistic, policy-aware and capable of securing approval.
How we work
We begin each project by listening carefully to the client’s brief, goals, constraints and priorities.
From there, we review the site, planning context and technical requirements before developing a clear route forward. Each project is then progressed through a structured design and planning process, with the level of service tailored to the client’s needs.
No two projects are the same. A house extension, loft conversion, new build dwelling, flat conversion or airspace development will each require a different strategy. Our role is to guide the project through the right route, from early feasibility through to the next stage of delivery.
