Dulwich is home to some of South London’s most characterful architecture — from Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas to 1930s family homes and later infill. With excellent schools, green space and a strong sense of community, it’s no surprise that many residents choose to stay and adapt rather than move.

Designing for Dulwich often means respecting traditional character while improving the way spaces are used — whether that’s through open-plan kitchen extensions, discreet loft conversions or full internal refurbishments. Many homeowners here want to preserve original features while improving light, flow and energy performance.

We’ve supported projects in Dulwich and nearby Herne Hill that have transformed period properties to suit modern family life — from side-return infills to whole-house reconfigurations. Projects in Dulwich Village or nearby conservation areas often require a more sensitive approach to planning and detailing, which we’re well placed to provide.

If you're considering improving your home in Dulwich, it’s worth speaking to a team familiar with the area’s heritage and opportunities.
