Design & Build in Highgate.
Design and build means we take responsibility for the whole project, from the first sketch to the day you move back in. There is one contract, one programme and one person to call, and the people who drew the scheme are in the same office as the people building it.
For a house or flat in Highgate that covers the measured survey, concept and developed design, planning and building regulation drawings, the applications themselves, construction by our own site team, the kitchen and bathrooms we supply, joinery, decoration and handover with a guarantee on the work.
The advantage is simple: nothing falls between an architect, a planning consultant and a builder, because they are the same team. Problems are solved on the drawing board rather than on site, and the price and programme are set before work starts.

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.
Approvals for design and build in Highgate.
All approvals are managed within the contract, so design, consent and construction run as one programme with one team responsible for each.
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.
