Architectural & Interior Design in Belsize Park.
Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Belsize Park from a first conversation to a set of drawings the council will validate and a builder can price, and because we are also the builder, the drawings are produced with construction in mind from the first sketch.
The design stage begins with a measured survey of the existing house and a conversation about how you live. From that we draw two or three options, develop the one you choose, and produce the planning application, building regulation drawings and interior specification: finishes, lighting, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms, all as one coordinated scheme.
We design to the policies of the London Borough of Camden from the outset, so schemes are not redrawn after a refusal, and we obtain pre-application advice where that would help. Many clients start with the design stage alone and decide later whether to build with us; the drawings are theirs either way.

Belsize Park: the houses and the planning rules.
Belsize Park was laid out in the 1850s as a suburb of paired stucco villas with generous gardens, between Hampstead to the north and Primrose Hill to the south. The villas survive in long, leafy streets, many divided into flats, alongside Edwardian mansion blocks and post-war infill.
It is one of the most active refurbishment markets in north London: reuniting houses that were split into flats, refurbishing garden and first-floor maisonettes, and adding rear extensions and basements beneath the villas. Camden's Belsize guidance shapes what is possible on each street.
The Belsize Conservation Area covers most of the district.
London Borough of Camden
Camden decides applications. The Belsize Conservation Area statement sets out expectations for rear extensions, roof works and stucco repair, and Article 4 directions apply on many streets.
Flats and maisonettes
Most properties are leasehold flats, so a licence to alter from the freeholder sits alongside planning and building control.
Basements
Camden's basement policy applies, with a Basement Impact Assessment for any new lower ground floor.
