A family in Hampstead Garden Suburb approached us for rear dormer loft conversion on a arts & crafts houses property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Barnet, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Barnet Council's design expectations for the conservation context (20 conservation areas borough-wide).
Measured survey week 1. Three design iterations balancing internal layout against external massing visible from neighbours. Two scheme massings tested against Barnet Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
