Upgrading Your Wanstead Home

If you're looking for exceptional architecture in Wanstead? Don't Settle for Less

The East London property market has become more vibrant since the 2012 Olympics, and though areas like Wanstead have always had great housing stock, the properties themselves often appear unloved, and don't always offer the space needed for a growing family. 

That is where we come in. With experience gained across a range of eclectic projects within the Wanstead/Snaresbrook areas over the past 20 years.

We specialise in unlocking the potential of period and modern homes across East London, turning challenging briefs into stunning, light-filled updated and upgraded homes.

Refurbishment and Extension Expertise

Victorian terraces to Edwardian semi-detached homes in areas like the Wanstead Village Conservation Area.  We assess and capitalise on the charm of existing features (original  brickwork/porticos/sash windows) with architecturally designed additions that enhance flow and function for modern family living. Making the most of even the smallest spaces!

Design Approach

Every project begins with listening to you. Our approach is client-led, focusing on natural light, optimising internal layouts, and creating a strong visual and physical connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces. We don't just design buildings; we design exceptional living experiences.

Net Zero & Fabric First Design

Our commitment to sustainability is not added on, it’s embedded in every part of our designs where we can achieve it. We champion a  'Fabric First' design approach, prioritising the building's thermal envelope.

If you're thinking of extending your home, let us look to see how else we can upgrade the house to minimise bills and keep the carbon footprint down.

Navigating planning requirements in areas like the Wanstead Conservation Area can be complex.
