North London plots vary hugely, from narrow terraces to detached houses in big gardens. The borough, the slope and the trees all shape the design. We start with a measured survey.

Camden’s plan asks for reuse before demolition. Our architectural designers and ARB-registered partners look for what the house can become. That often saves time and cost as well.

Drawings are priced by our surveyor as they develop. You see the cost of each option before choosing it. Planning and construction drawings then follow the agreed scheme.

Under the hill, any basement needs ground studies first. We order those before the design is fixed.

What shapes a design in North London.

Council: London Borough of Camden, under its 2017 Local Plan. The hill adds its own tests.
Retrofit: Policy CC1. Retrofit should be strongly considered before any demolition.
Design: Policy D1. Work must respect local character and preserve heritage.
Extensions: Policy DH1. Extensions stay subservient. New dormers are modest, set back and ideally at the rear.
One storey: Policy A5. One storey only, and never under an existing basement.
St John’s Wood: It sits in Westminster, not Camden. We confirm the council first.
