Architects and Engineers in Clapham
Contemporary architecture and engineering for Georgian and Victorian homes around leafy common land in Clapham, from first feasibility to a finished project.
Living and Building in Clapham
Clapham evolved from a Georgian village into a dense Victorian suburb, with Clapham Old Town's cobbled streets and the stucco-dressed terraces of Clapham Park among the borough's most distinctive historic fabric.
Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a neighbourhood where Georgian and Victorian streets sit around leafy common land.
Planning in Clapham
The Clapham Conservation Area, first designated in 1968 and extended several times since, centres on Clapham Common and protects the Georgian and Victorian buildings lining Old Town and The Pavement, while the Clapham Park and Northbourne Road Conservation Area safeguards its own distinct stucco and stock brick character.
Each scheme is assessed against the specific heritage character of its own conservation area rather than a single standard across Clapham.
Refurbishing in Clapham
Behind Georgian and Victorian facades, Diagram X strips back compartmentalised period 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 unmistakably contemporary.
Construction in Clapham
Conservation area restrictions, densely-packed period terraced streets, and limited rear access on many plots 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.
