Architects and Engineers in Charlton

Local knowledge of Charlton Village's Jacobean heritage and the Charlton Riverside masterplan's ambitious new neighbourhoods, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.

Living and Building in Charlton

Charlton holds two distinct identities within one area: Charlton Village, continuously settled since medieval times and home to the Grade I listed Charlton House, a rare surviving Jacobean mansion built in 1612, and Charlton Riverside, one of London's largest brownfield sites, now earmarked for up to 8,000 new homes.

Diagram X works comfortably across that range, bringing architecture, engineering and construction to a place defined by genuine historical depth and genuine future ambition in equal measure.

Planning in Charlton

The Charlton Village Conservation Area protects the historic core around Charlton House, St Luke's Church, and the surrounding village streets, with high archaeological potential given the area's documented settlement since Roman times.

Charlton Riverside operates under its own masterplan framework, adopted and refreshed by the council, setting out medium-rise housing and new streets and public space across the regeneration site.

Refurbishing in Charlton

In the village, a refurbishment respects Charlton's rare survival of Jacobean and early village character, retaining what's genuinely worth keeping while bringing interiors properly up to modern living standards.

Diagram X makes that judgement feature by feature, never assuming either a wholesale period restoration or a complete strip-out is automatically the right answer.

Construction in Charlton

Working near a scheduled or archaeologically sensitive site such as Charlton House's grounds means early engagement with heritage considerations before design work progresses far, while construction on the Riverside masterplan's brownfield land involves its own groundworks and remediation sequencing.

We plan for both realities from the outset, whichever part of Charlton a project sits in.
