Architects and Engineers in Bankside
Contemporary architecture and engineering for warehouse conversions and late-Georgian homes in Bankside, from first feasibility to a finished project.
Living and Building in Bankside
Bankside sat outside the City of London's jurisdiction for centuries, giving rise to its Elizabethan playhouses before settling into a 19th-century district of wharves, warehouses, and commercial buildings.
Diagram X brings genuinely modern architecture, engineering, and construction into streets where warehouse conversions and small, late-Georgian homes now sit alongside contemporary riverside development.
Planning in Bankside
The Thrale Street Conservation Area protects mostly 19th-century commercial buildings on Southwark Street and Southwark Bridge Road, alongside smaller late-18th-century homes on Thrale Street and Anchor Terrace, and contains the Scheduled Monument of the Globe Theatre's original archaeological remains.
Each scheme is assessed against the specific heritage character of whichever part of the conservation area it falls within, rather than a single standard across Bankside.
Refurbishing in Bankside
Behind warehouse and late-Georgian facades, Diagram X strips back dated, compartmentalised layouts in favour of open, minimalist interiors with honest materials and broad glazing.
The historic frontage stays untouched, while the space behind it becomes something genuinely of today.
Construction in Bankside
Conservation area restrictions, converted warehouse structures, and dense riverside streets demand careful sequencing on nearly every scheme.
Diagram X runs structural engineering, waterproofing, and site logistics as one coordinated process, protecting historic character while new space takes shape behind it.
