Architects and Engineers in Twickenham

Contemporary architecture and engineering for georgian riverside villas and historic village lanes in Twickenham, from first feasibility to a finished project.

Living and Building in Twickenham

Twickenham grew as a riverside village around Church Street and St Mary's Church, where medieval burgage plots have survived since the area's founding, before developing into a fashionable 18th-century retreat along the Thames.

Diagram X brings genuinely modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) into a town where narrow medieval lanes, Georgian riverside villas, and later Victorian development all sit layered together.

Planning in Twickenham

The Twickenham Riverside Conservation Area protects the narrow streets and alleyways around the historic village core, along with the physical and visual links between Church Street and the Thames that evidence the area's medieval development.

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

Refurbishing in Twickenham

Behind Georgian and Victorian riverside 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 Twickenham

Conservation area restrictions, riverside flood considerations, and narrow historic plot widths demand careful sequencing on nearly every scheme.
