London Borough of Lambeth
Architects in Lambeth
A RIBA chartered practice based in Dulwich, working throughout Lambeth. We design residential, mixed-use and commercial schemes across the borough, from period extensions to developer-led projects.
Architects working across Lambeth
Marjoram Architects is a RIBA chartered practice with its studio in Dulwich, a short distance from the Lambeth boundary. We work throughout the borough, from Kennington and Vauxhall in the north down to Herne Hill, Brixton, Clapham, Streatham and West Norwood, on projects ranging from a single rear extension to multi-unit residential schemes.
Lambeth's building stock is varied: Georgian terraces around Kennington, long Victorian and Edwardian streets through Brixton and Clapham, larger detached villas towards Herne Hill and Streatham, and new mixed-use development along the Vauxhall corridor. Every commission starts with a free initial consultation and a scope shaped around your scheme, budget and programme.
Planning in Lambeth
Local knowledge of the planning route
We work regularly with Lambeth's planning policy and pre-application process, and shape each scheme around the council's design and sustainability expectations from the outset rather than reworking it after a refusal.
Conservation areas
Sensitive design in protected settings
Large parts of Lambeth sit within conservation areas, including Clapham, Kennington, Herne Hill and Brixton. We design to respect the existing context and prepare the heritage and design and access material these applications require.
Common project types
From period extensions to new build
Most local work is rear and side return extensions, loft conversions and whole house renovations to Victorian and Georgian stock, alongside infill and mixed-use development towards Vauxhall and Brixton.

Common questions
Working with Marjoram in Lambeth
-
Yes. Our studio is in Dulwich, minutes from the Lambeth boundary, and we design residential, mixed-use and commercial schemes right across the borough, including Clapham, Brixton, Streatham, Herne Hill, Kennington and Vauxhall. Every project starts with a free initial consultation.
-
Yes. A significant share of the borough is covered by conservation areas, and some streets also carry Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights. We confirm which designations apply to your property before any design work starts, and prepare the heritage and design and access material Lambeth expects.
-
Everything from a single-storey extension to whole house renovations, one-off houses and multi-unit residential and mixed-use schemes. We are a small studio, so the people you meet at the outset are the people working on your project throughout.
-
Fees are agreed in writing before we start and are set against defined work stages, so you know what each stage covers and what it costs before committing to it. The right structure depends on the size and type of project, and we set out the options at the initial consultation.
-
Once an application is validated, householder and minor applications are generally determined in around eight weeks, and larger schemes in around thirteen. Design work and preparing the application come before that, so it is sensible to allow several months from first meeting to decision.
-
We visit the property, discuss what you want to achieve, and set out the likely planning route, the scope of work involved and a realistic budget. There is no obligation to proceed.
