Architects and Engineers in Croydon
Local knowledge of Croydon's historic centre, its Victorian and Edwardian suburbs and its 21 conservation areas, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.
Living and Building in Croydon
Croydon was an old market town and a seat of the Archbishops of Canterbury long before it became a London borough in 1965, when the County Borough of Croydon merged with Coulsdon and Purley.
Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across a borough that runs from a changing town centre to the villas and downland villages of the south.
Planning in Croydon
The borough has 21 conservation areas, and the council's conservation-area Article 4 directions cover Chatsworth Road, The Waldrons and Kenley Aerodrome.
Locally listed buildings and local heritage areas add a further layer, so permitted development rights should be checked property by property.
Refurbishing in Croydon
Across the borough's Victorian and Edwardian houses and interwar suburbs, 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 Croydon
Dense terraces in the north, hillside plots on the North Downs and active regeneration sites near the centre mean access, levels and sequencing shape most schemes.
We plan for these from the outset, so Croydon's varied streets and its individual homes are both well served.
