Architectural & Interior Design in Highgate.
Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Highgate 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 and London Borough of Haringey 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.

Highgate: the houses and the planning rules.
Highgate village sits on the hill above the Heath, a cluster of Georgian houses around the High Street and Pond Square, with large Victorian villas on the slopes towards the cemetery and Hampstead Lane, and 1930s and modernist houses on the estates around Highgate Wood. The conservation area is one of the oldest in London.
The houses are individual and so are the projects: restoring Georgian interiors, extending Victorian villas across steep gardens, and modernising mid-century houses while respecting their architecture. Two boroughs meet here, and we handle whichever one applies.
The Highgate Conservation Area covers the village and surrounding streets, and many of the older houses are listed.
Camden and Haringey
The borough boundary crosses the village; Camden covers the west side and Haringey the east, each with its own conservation area guidance and application process.
Listed houses
Much of the High Street, the Grove and Pond Square is listed, so internal work needs listed building consent.
Slopes and trees
Steep sites and protected trees affect extensions and basements; a topographical and tree survey is the starting point.
