Architects and Engineers in Southwark
Contemporary architecture and engineering across Southwark, from riverside warehouses to Georgian villages and Victorian terraces, from first feasibility to a finished project.
Living and Building in Southwark
Southwark has served as a crossing point on the Thames since the Romans built a bridge here in 43 CE, growing from the medieval market town of "The Borough" into a borough spanning riverside warehouses, Georgian villages, and Victorian terraces.
Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a borough with 48 conservation areas, from Bankside's historic streets to the leafy character of Dulwich Village.
Planning in Southwark
Southwark's 48 conservation areas, each protected through its own appraisal, range from the Borough High Street Conservation Area's narrow riverside warehouse streets to the Georgian character of Dulwich Village and the terraced streets of Camberwell Grove.
Each scheme is assessed against the specific heritage character of whichever conservation area it falls within, rather than a single standard across Southwark.
Refurbishing in Southwark
Behind period facades across the borough, Diagram X strips back dated, compartmentalised layouts in favour of minimalist, pared-down interiors, honest materials, and broad glazing.
The historic envelope stays untouched while the plan inside becomes something genuinely of today.
Construction in Southwark
Conservation area restrictions, narrow historic streets, and the borough's dense, varied building stock demand precise 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.
