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

Barnes: the houses and the planning rules.
Barnes is a riverside village inside a loop of the Thames: Georgian houses on the Terrace, the Green with its pond, Victorian streets running back towards the Common, and the wide Castelnau estate leading to Hammersmith Bridge. It is quiet, well kept and closely protected.
The projects match the houses: refurbishments of Victorian family homes, side-return and rear extensions, lofts, and the occasional basement where the ground conditions near the river allow. Richmond's conservation guidance applies almost everywhere, and flood risk is checked on riverside sites.
The Barnes Green, Castelnau and Barnes Common conservation areas cover most of the village.
London Borough of Richmond upon Thames
Richmond decides applications; Article 4 directions in the Barnes conservation areas mean most external changes need a full application.
River and flood risk
Riverside streets sit in the Environment Agency flood zone, which affects basements and requires a flood risk assessment.
Castelnau
The paired villas of the Castelnau estate have specific guidance on roofs, side extensions and boundary walls.
