Architects and Engineers in Barnet
Local knowledge of Barnet's garden suburb, village and market-town heritage and its 16 conservation areas, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.
Living and Building in Barnet
Barnet was formed in 1965 from the boroughs of Finchley and Hendon and the districts of Barnet, East Barnet and Friern Barnet, bringing together a medieval market town, Green Belt villages and some of London's most celebrated interwar suburbs.
Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across a borough that runs from Hampstead Garden Suburb to the Great North Road.
Planning in Barnet
The borough has 16 conservation areas, and Article 4(2) directions apply in several of them, including parts of Finchley Church End and Hendon.
Green Belt land around the villages and the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust's own controls add further layers, so permitted development rights should be checked property by property.
Refurbishing in Barnet
Across the borough's Edwardian, interwar and Victorian houses, most interiors have had little meaningful updating in decades, so refurbishment starts from bringing a home's light, layout and performance properly up to modern standards.
A genuinely worthwhile period feature earns its place when retained, but a confidently modern result inside is always the starting assumption.
Construction in Barnet
Larger detached plots, protected trees, hillside sites and tightly controlled estates shape foundations, access and sequencing, alongside the usual party wall agreements.
We plan for these from the outset, so Barnet's varied suburbs and its individual homes are both well served.
