Architects and Engineers in Kennington
Contemporary architecture and engineering for Georgian terraces and garden-square homes in Kennington, from first feasibility to a finished project.
Living and Building in Kennington
Kennington grew from a semi-rural Domesday-era hamlet into an elegant Georgian suburb, with Cleaver Square's 1789 houses forming the earliest residential square in South London.
Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into streets where grand Georgian terraces and leafy squares still define the area's character.
Planning in Kennington
Lambeth Council designated much of Kennington a Conservation Area in 1968, with its boundary extended in 1979 and 1997, protecting the area's distinctive Georgian squares and terraced streets.
Each scheme is assessed against the specific heritage character of its conservation area setting, rather than a single standard across Kennington.
Refurbishing in Kennington
Behind Georgian 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 Kennington
Conservation area restrictions, Georgian party wall conditions, 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.
