Architects and Engineers in Richmond upon Thames

Contemporary architecture and engineering for georgian riverside homes and Victorian villas across Richmond upon Thames, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in Richmond

Richmond takes its name from Henry VII's early-16th-century palace, and its riverside streets filled in through the Georgian era with townhouses around Richmond Green and up Richmond Hill, following the completion of Richmond Bridge.

Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a town where Georgian terraces, Victorian villas, and the famous protected view of the Thames from the Hill all sit within a tightly managed historic setting.

Planning in Richmond

Richmond Hill's view over the Thames is protected by its own Act of Parliament, a rare level of statutory protection layered above the town's Georgian Richmond Green, Richmond Hill, and Richmond Riverside conservation areas.

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

Refurbishing in Richmond

Behind Georgian and Victorian 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 Richmond

Conservation area restrictions, protected-view regulations, and dense period terrace construction 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.
