Architects and Engineers in Oval
Contemporary architecture and engineering for Victorian and Georgian homes in quiet terraced streets and garden squares in Oval, from first feasibility to a finished project.
Living and Building in Oval
The Oval takes its name from the cricket ground established on former common land in 1845, with its surrounding streets developing into a residential neighbourhood of Victorian and Georgian terraces and garden squares.
Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into streets where period terraces sit quietly just beyond one of London's most recognisable sporting landmarks.
Planning in Oval
The area's Victorian and Georgian terraces sit within established conservation designations protecting their historic streetscape, reflecting the residential character that grew up around the cricket ground from the nineteenth century onward.
Each scheme is assessed against the specific heritage character of its own conservation area setting, rather than a single standard across Oval.
Refurbishing in Oval
Behind Victorian and 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 Oval
Conservation area restrictions, densely-packed period terraced streets, 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.
