Camden is one of London's most architecturally diverse boroughs, from the Georgian terraces of Bloomsbury to the Victorian streets of Kentish Town and the modernist estates of Gospel Oak. With over 40 conservation areas, architectural design here demands careful navigation of planning constraints. Our architectural team is based in Hampstead NW3 and works across the borough daily.
Conservation area work forms a significant proportion of our Camden commissions. Whether designing a rear extension to a listed terrace in Fitzrovia or a loft conversion in Tufnell Park, every scheme must demonstrate sensitivity to its context while complying with current Building Regulations and CDM requirements.
Our Hampstead office places us at the heart of Camden. We understand the borough's planning policies, its conservation area appraisals and the expectations of its planning officers, enabling us to design schemes with a high probability of approval.
