Some of our recent projects have included:
1. Rear extension to a Grade II listed embassy in Hyde Park Gardens
2. Rear extension and internal alterations to a Grade II listed house near Regents Park
3. Rear garden office, gym and music practice room to a Grade II listed house in Belsize Park
4. Rear extension and conversion of two flats into on single family dwelling to a Grade II listed house in Thurloe Square, London.
Our architects enjoy working with heritage projects. This includes finding ways to extend, renovate and remodel these historic period buildings.
Building in conservation areas in London
As set out in national planning policy, developments within a conservation area must preserve or enhance the special architectural or historic character of the conservation area. Therefore, for projects located in conservation areas, thorough research is essential to grasp the area's history, context and significance.
If your house is set within a conservation area then this doesn't mean that you can't create a modern or creative design, it just means that the proposal must be sympathetic to its context. Conservation areas are designated and protected in order maintain the charm and character of the area that you live in. Our architects are highly familiar with planning law and local guidelines and have successfully handled projects in conservation areas before. If you're in need of an architect, we're more than happy to assist you.
Listed building consent in London
We have a diverse portfolio of heritage projects in London. This has included extensions to listed buildings, renovations, sensitive restorations and internal remodelling.
Working with listed buildings in England presents unique challenges and opportunities. These structures, recognised for their historical and architectural significance, require careful consideration and expertise. Firstly, thorough research is essential to understand the building's history, context, and local planning guidelines.
Secondly, appointing an architect that has heritage experience is crucial to navigate the complexities of preservation, renovation and extensions. However, despite these challenges, the process offers a rewarding experience of restoring and enhancing a piece of London's heritage. With a considered design approach, working with listed buildings can result in remarkable transformations that honour the past whilst creating your dream home.
