Architects and Engineers in Tooting

Contemporary architecture and engineering for Victorian terraces and Edwardian cottage streets in Tooting, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in Tooting

Tooting developed rapidly during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, with the London County Council's Totterdown Fields Estate, a pioneering cottage estate for working families built between 1901 and 1911, now its own conservation area.

Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a district whose historic markets and terraced streets now sit alongside sensitive new development.

Planning in Tooting

The borough's 2021 Urban Design Study identified Tooting's capacity for density-sensitive new housing while preserving its Victorian and Edwardian character, guiding how conservation area designations like Totterdown Fields are balanced against growth.

Each scheme is assessed against the specific heritage character of its own conservation area rather than a single standard across Tooting.

Refurbishing in Tooting

Behind Victorian and Edwardian terraced 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 Tooting

Conservation area restrictions, densely-packed Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets, and limited rear access on many plots 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.
