Why Dulwich Village

Dulwich Village's housing pattern shapes the design

Dulwich Village is Georgian and Edwardian villas, Estate-managed. The dominant stock — georgian villas, edwardian villas (dulwich estate) — has specific constraints and opportunities for mansard roof extensions. Side returns sit better on bay-fronted Victorian terraces than on detached 1930s semis. Mansards work where the existing roofscape supports them. We design to the block, not the brochure.
