Services
Extensions
We design contemporary extensions that enhance Victorian and period properties. Our projects incorporate natural light, modern materials like zinc cladding, and seamless garden integration through folding-sliding doors. Each extension is tailored to meet planning requirements in South London conservation areas while maintaining architectural integrity and client budget constraints.
Loft Conversions
Our loft conversion services create functional living spaces within existing roof structures. We specialise in adding bedrooms with Juliette balconies, ensuite bathrooms, and walk-in wardrobes while complying with building regulations. Projects often combine permitted development rights with rear extensions to maximise space utilisation in residential properties.
New Build
We develop sustainable residential schemes on brownfield sites, including multi-unit housing developments with private and communal spaces. Our new build projects prioritise high-quality design, environmental considerations, and integration with local architectural contexts while meeting modern living standards and client specifications.
Refurbishment
Our refurbishment service modernises historic buildings while preserving their character. We transform 18th-century mews houses and timber-framed farmhouses into open-plan contemporary homes, exposing original structures where appropriate. Projects focus on improving functionality, natural light, and spatial flow while respecting heritage constraints.
Planning Applications
We manage full planning permission applications and building regulation submissions for residential projects. Our expertise includes navigating South London conservation area requirements, permitted development schemes, and listed building consents. We ensure compliance with local authority standards while maintaining design integrity and client objectives throughout the approval process.
