London Borough of Lewisham
Architects in Lewisham
A RIBA chartered practice based in Dulwich, next door to Lewisham. We design residential, mixed-use and commercial schemes across the borough, from period extensions to new build infill.
Architects working across Lewisham
We work throughout Wandsworth, from Battersea and Clapham Junction to Putney, Southfields, Earlsfield, Balham and Tooting. The borough combines consistent Victorian terraced housing with substantial regeneration around Nine Elms and Battersea, so the work ranges from householder extensions to larger development schemes.
Marjoram Architects is a RIBA chartered practice with its studio in Dulwich. We design across the full range here: side return and rear extensions to terraced houses, loft conversions, whole house renovations to the larger stock around the commons and Putney, and residential and mixed-use development. Every commission starts with a free initial consultation.
Planning in Lewisham
Local knowledge of the planning route
We work regularly with Lewisham's planning process and shape each scheme around the borough's design expectations from the outset, using pre-application advice where a proposal is finely balanced.
Conservation areas
Sensitive design in protected settings
Lewisham has a substantial number of conservation areas, including Blackheath, Brockley and Telegraph Hill, several with Article 4 directions removing permitted development rights. We check the designations before design work begins.
Common project types
From period extensions to new build
Rear and side extensions, loft conversions and whole house renovations to Victorian and Edwardian stock, alongside back land and infill development where plots allow.

Common questions
Working with Marjoram in Lewisham
-
Yes, and often. Our studio in Dulwich sits right by the borough boundary, and we design residential, mixed-use and commercial schemes across Lewisham, including Blackheath, Brockley, Forest Hill, Sydenham, Hither Green, Lee and Catford. Every project starts with a free initial consultation.
-
Yes. The borough has a significant number of conservation areas, and several carry Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights, so work that would be automatic elsewhere needs a full application here. We confirm what applies to your property before any design work starts.
-
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.
