Contemporary architecture and engineering for 1930s semi-detached homes in Tolworth, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in Tolworth

Tolworth is defined by its landmark Tolworth Tower, a 22-storey, 265-foot office block designed by George Marsh and completed in 1964, one of outer London's boldest examples of post-war modernist architecture.

Diagram X brings confidently contemporary AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into an area whose residential streets, mainly two-storey semi-detached houses from the 1930s, sit in the shadow of this striking mid-century landmark.

Planning in Tolworth

Tolworth's character splits along the A3, with a mixed commercial frontage to the north around the Broadway and predominantly 1930s semi-detached residential streets further out.

Diagram X designs each scheme to respond to this particular split character, rather than treating Tolworth as architecturally uniform.
