Why Maida Vale

Maida Vale's housing pattern shapes the design

Maida Vale is Edwardian mansion blocks, canal-side. The dominant stock — edwardian mansion blocks, victorian villas — has specific constraints and opportunities for house extension 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.
