Why Wapping

Wapping's housing pattern shapes the design

Wapping is Georgian fragments, warehouse conversions. The dominant stock — georgian terraces, warehouse conversions — has specific constraints and opportunities for planning permission drawings. 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.
