Architects and Engineers in Putney

Contemporary architecture and engineering for Putney's riverside terraces and mansion flats, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in Putney

Putney grew along its riverside as a prosperous London suburb, where the Putney Embankment Conservation Area still holds its historic boathouses, wharves, and well-detailed Victorian terraces close to the Thames.

Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) thinking to a district where boat clubs and mansion blocks sit comfortably alongside ambitious new design.

Planning in Putney

The Putney Embankment Conservation Area contains buildings spanning more periods of Putney's history than anywhere else in the district, from its earliest riverside structures through to Victorian terraces and mansion flats.

Each scheme is judged against the particular heritage character of its immediate conservation area, whether that's the embankment, the high street, or the quieter streets around Putney Lower Common.

Refurbishing in Putney

Behind Victorian terraced and mansion block 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 Putney

Riverside access constraints, conservation area restrictions along the embankment, and the logistics of working within a dense, historic streetscape 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.
