A family in Marks Gate approached us for l-shaped dormer loft conversion on a post-war estate property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Barking and Dagenham, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Barking and Dagenham Council's design expectations for the conservation context (9 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 Barking and Dagenham Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
