Architects and Engineers in New Malden

Contemporary architecture and engineering for Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and inter-war homes in New Malden, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in New Malden

New Malden grew up almost entirely around its railway station, which opened on the Waterloo main line in 1846, with Victorian terraces giving way to Edwardian semis and then, further towards Coombe, larger inter-war houses as the area expanded.

Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a neighbourhood shaped by over a century of steady suburban growth, now also home to the largest Korean community in Europe, giving New Malden a distinct, layered identity.

Planning in New Malden

Much of New Malden's housing stock sits outside formal conservation area protection, but its Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and inter-war houses toward Coombe each carry a distinct character that shapes how an extension or rebuild should sit within its streetscape.

Diagram X designs each scheme to read as a considered response to its immediate surroundings, rather than applying a single borough-wide approach.
