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

Ruislip: the houses and the planning rules.
Ruislip grew along the Metropolitan line in the 1930s and is still defined by that decade: wide roads of semi-detached and detached houses with hipped roofs, bay windows and long gardens, around a medieval village core with timber-framed cottages and the Manor Farm site. Ruislip Woods and Lido lie to the north.
We fitted out the Masala Chowk restaurant in Ruislip from strip-out to opening, and the surrounding housing is well suited to the rear extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and full refurbishments we carry out across Metroland.
The Ruislip Village conservation area covers the old village; most other streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Hillingdon
Hillingdon decides applications. Outside the village conservation area, permitted development covers most rear extensions and lofts.
Hipped roofs
Hip-to-gable conversions are the usual way to make a 1930s loft usable, generally within permitted development limits.
Commercial units
Restaurant and shop fit-outs need Hillingdon's consent for shopfront and signage changes and, where cooking is introduced, for extraction.
