Architects and Engineers in East Sheen

Contemporary architecture and engineering for georgian cottages and Victorian homes beside East Sheen’s green spaces, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in East Sheen

East Sheen grew from a small triangular village green at Sheen Lane, the centre of the medieval village, which retained its rural character into the early 20th century before extending along the lane with Georgian and Victorian cottages.

Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a district bordering Richmond Park, where listed 18th-century cottages and early Victorian terraces still define streets like Christchurch Road.

Planning in East Sheen

The Christchurch Road and Sheen Lane conservation areas each protect a distinct part of the district's character, from groups of listed cottages with varied brick and roof treatments to the historic village-green heart at Sheen Lane.

Each scheme is assessed against the specific heritage character of whichever conservation area it falls within, rather than a single standard across East Sheen.

Refurbishing in East Sheen

Behind Georgian and Victorian cottage 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 unmistakably contemporary.

Construction in East Sheen

Conservation area restrictions, narrow historic cottage plots, and proximity to Richmond Park's protected setting demand careful sequencing on nearly every scheme.

Diagram X runs structural engineering, groundworks, and site logistics as one coordinated process, protecting historic character while new space takes shape behind it.
