London Borough of Merton
Architects in Merton
A RIBA chartered practice based in Dulwich, working across Merton. We design residential and commercial schemes throughout the borough, from Wimbledon Village renovations to new build infill.
Architects working across Merton
Merton covers a wide spread of housing: the large detached houses and protected streets of Wimbledon Village, Victorian terraces through South Wimbledon and Colliers Wood, interwar suburbs at Raynes Park and Morden, and more mixed stock towards Mitcham.
We work across all of it, from full renovations of substantial period houses to extensions, loft conversions and small residential development. Marjoram Architects is a RIBA chartered practice with its studio in Dulwich, and every commission starts with a free initial consultation and a scope shaped around your scheme, budget and programme.
Planning in Merton
Local knowledge of the planning route
We work with Greenwich's planning and conservation officers, and use pre-application advice on sensitive sites where an early steer is worth far more than a resubmission.
Conservation areas
Sensitive design in protected settings
Wimbledon Village and several surrounding areas are covered by conservation designations, with tighter control on materials, roof form and frontage alterations. We check what applies before design work begins.
Common project types
From renovations to new build
Whole house renovations and substantial extensions to the larger Wimbledon stock, side return and rear extensions and loft conversions in the terraced streets, and infill development where plots allow.

Common questions
Working with Marjoram in Merton
-
Yes. We design residential and commercial schemes across the borough, including Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village, Raynes Park, South Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, Morden and Mitcham. Every project starts with a free initial consultation.
-
Yes. Parts of the borough, Wimbledon Village in particular, sit within conservation areas where permitted development rights may be restricted and there is closer control over materials and frontage alterations. We confirm the designations on 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.
