Architectural & Interior Design in Hampstead.
Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Hampstead 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.

Hampstead: the houses and the planning rules.
Hampstead is a village on a hill with the Heath beside it: Georgian houses on Church Row and Flask Walk, red-brick Victorian mansions on Fitzjohns Avenue, Arts and Crafts houses on the Redington estate and a scatter of modernist infill. The housing is large, the plots are steep and irregular, and almost all of it is in a conservation area.
Projects in Hampstead tend to be substantial: whole-house refurbishments with basements, rear extensions that negotiate a sloping garden, and lofts within the tall Victorian roofs. Camden's conservation officers take the village character seriously, so we invest in the design and the heritage case before submitting anything.
The Hampstead Conservation Area covers the village and its surroundings, with Fitzjohns/Netherhall and Redington/Frognal alongside.
London Borough of Camden
Camden decides applications and applies Article 4 directions across much of Hampstead, removing permitted development for extensions, roof changes and front alterations.
Basements
Camden's basement policy requires a Basement Impact Assessment covering ground conditions, drainage and neighbouring structures, and limits depth and footprint.
Heath and trees
Tree preservation orders and Heath views are material considerations on many streets; we survey trees early.
