Architects and Engineers in Mortlake

Contemporary architecture and engineering for georgian riverside homes and historic wharf-lane properties in Mortlake, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in Mortlake

Mortlake grew as a riverside village under the Archbishops of Canterbury, its wharves and alleys like Bull's Alley and Ship Lane still tracing the routes down to the old Thames frontage, while Georgian houses along Thames Bank recall its 17th and 18th-century heyday of malting, brewing, and tapestry weaving.

Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a village where Grade II-listed riverside houses sit close against the High Street's flood line and the finish point of the Boat Race.

Planning in Mortlake

The Mortlake Conservation Area protects the intimate relationship between the High Street and the Thames, including the historic wharf lanes and the unspoilt riverside view along Thames Bank.

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

Refurbishing in Mortlake

Behind Georgian riverside 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 Mortlake

Conservation area restrictions, riverside flood considerations, and narrow historic wharf-lane 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.
