Architects and Engineers in Perivale

Local knowledge of Perivale's Art Deco landmark, its ancient woodland, and its quiet residential streets, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.

Living and Building in Perivale

The Grade II* listed Hoover Building, a spectacular 1933 Art Deco former factory on Western Avenue, has recently been carefully restored and converted into apartments, winning recognition for preserving its historic fabric while adapting it for modern living.

As a London AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) consultancy, Diagram X brings its disciplines together for homeowners across Perivale's genuinely quiet residential streets, in a suburb that also happens to be home to Perivale Wood, one of Britain's oldest nature reserves.

Planning in Perivale

Planning in Perivale is dominated by its residential character outside the handful of landmark buildings and industrial estate, with most applications concerning typical extensions, loft conversions and alterations to existing houses.

Work near listed structures, including the Hoover Building and the 12th-century St Mary's Church, calls for particular heritage care beyond standard planning permission.

Refurbishing in Perivale

Across the area's residential streets, most interiors have had little meaningful updating in decades, so refurbishment here starts from bringing a home's light, layout and performance properly up to modern standards.

A genuinely worthwhile period feature earns its place when it's retained, but a confidently modern result inside is always the starting assumption.

Construction in Perivale

Construction in Perivale benefits from the same straightforward planning considerations found across much of the borough's quieter residential suburbs, alongside the usual party wall agreements for its housing stock.

We plan for that from the outset, so Perivale's settled residential character and its individual homes are both well served.
