Further project information can be found on our Projects page.

New Appointment: Avondale Road N15
We are pleased to have been instructed for our third project on Avondale Road which will take inspiration from our earlier loft extension on the same street. The project will seek to develop the principles already established, using standard materials with well considered but simple details to deliver a quality design on a similar budget to a standard permitted development loft conversion.

Planning Submission: Artist's Garden Studio N15
Following a very productive Pre-Application meeting with Haringey earlier in the year we have now submitted our proposal for an Artist's Garden Studio. The proposal replaces an existing shed structure on a tricky triangular plot which the uses for their stained glass art work hobby. The proposed design will provide a robust and fit for purpose studio space with good quality natural light. Composed of masonry and timber cladding, the stepped form is intended to provide a discrete and sympathetic addition which compliments the timber and established planting boundary.

New Appointment: Hadley Street NW1
We have been appointed to partially remodel the interior of a Victorian terrace house in Kentish Town. The proposal involves the creation of a new large family bathroom on the first floor and the reconfiguration of the upper floor to create an en-suite shower room. A key aspect of the project is to future proof the waste drainage strategy so later phased works, including a glass side return kitchen extension, are not compromised.

New Appointment: Kingsdown Road N19 Interior and Garden Remodel
We have been appointed for full architectural services on the remodelling and refurbishment of a late 19th century Victorian terrace villa. On account of the strong period detailing and character the property is locally listed with Islington. The project involves the internal reconfiguration of the lower ground floor level to create an enlarged kitchen dining area with improved access onto a split level and re-landscaped patio and garden.

Planning Consent: Clinton Road N15 Kitchen Extension
Planning approval has been obtained for a kitchen extension in the Downhills Park area of South Tottenham. The 4m long proposal will replace an existing poorly constructed 2m long extension. The new addition will provide a higher ceiling which is more consistent with the original property and improve daylighting into the existing rear reception room.

Site Progress: Avondale Road N15 Roof Extension
Work on site is now progressing quickly as the roof extension nears completion thanks to Tomas and the TomBuild team. We have achieved ceiling heights of up to 3 metres, levels of insulation to exceed Building Regulations, and optimised the picture window view by setting back the side return portion of the extension. A mono pitch further reduces the mass of the extension and compliments the pitch roof of the existing building.

October 2016


New Appointment: Artist's Studio
We have been appointed to design a studio for a glass making artist in South Tottenham. The brief requires the building to be designed with flexibility and adaptability in mind so it's function can easily be repurposed if required in the future.

Roof Extension
Our roof extension in Avondale Road N15 has started on site.
The structural design has been optimised to minimise the amount of steel required and maximise the ceiling height. The design will also exceed the thermal insulation requirements of the Building Regulations to create a low energy and internally comfortable addition.

New Appointment: Remodelled Family Home
We have a new project commencing in Muswell Hill N10 involving the remodelling and refurbishment of a former residential care facility into a family home. The brief involves optimising practical use of the redundant roof space to create
a spacious and light filled upper level and master bedroom suite.

September 2016


New Appointment: Roof Extension
We have been appointed to design a roof extension on St Ann's Road N15 to create two children's bedrooms, a shower room and integrated storage solutions. The design will also optimise the structural arrangement to optimise the limited headroom.

Planning Application: Roof Extension N8
Our application for a roof extension in Rathcoole Avenue, Crouch End was submitted this month.

August 2016


New Appointment: Kitchen Extension
A new appointment for a kitchen extension in Clinton Road, South Tottenham. Unusually, the site had already recently obtained planning consent for an extension. However, the client later realised there were a number of technical complexities which involved daylighting an internal room and coordinating the constrained site services which the previous scheme did not resolve. Vickers Architects have been appointed to design an alternative proposal which will address the technical challenges and create a more considered family kitchen dining space.

Consultancy
Vickers Architects are providing a consultancy service for Wilkinson Eyre Architects on their project for City University London. The proposal is for a Graduate Centre on the junction of Goswell Road and Sebastian Street which is within Islington's Northampton Square conservation. The proposal has obtained planning consent and is currently at Design Development Stage.

Planning Granted: Haringey Roof Extension
Our second project on Avondale Road N15. The design will maximise the quality of the main roof space and views out. The massing is intended to be sympathetic to the existing building with a pitch roof over the side return which is parallel to the existing roof.

Planning Granted: Avondale Road N15 Kitchen Extension
Consent has been granted for a kitchen extension with a side return infill to create an eat in kitchen diner and family space. The internal layout has been organised to maximise kitchen work surface space and to get natural light to where is required most. The creation of a new door opening to the sitting room, creates a free flowing ground floor sequence of spaces and allows views through to the garden from the front of the house.
