Our Selected Case Studies in Croydon
What makes Croydon Special?
Croydon is a vibrant, evolving part of South London with a truly significant architectural heritage that encompasses historic buildings, post-war, and modern elements.
The post-war period saw a wave of Brutalist architecture, especially in the landmarks like the NLA Tower that defines the Croydon skyline with its striking concrete design. This period also saw the introduction of high-rise residential blocks and office towers that came to define the town's urban environment.
Croydon's architectural scene has undergone change due to its regeneration project, with new developments, like the Saffron Square and the highly innovative Boxpark Croydon. These modern structures boast sleek glass-faced buildings, fitted out with energy-saving technologies, amenities designed to attract a younger, professional population.
The residential architecture of the area is equally varied, ranging from Victorian and Edwardian homes in suburban areas to interwar and mid-century houses with larger gardens. The recent influx of modern apartments and high-rises in the town center highlights Croydon’s ongoing transformation into a dynamic and desirable place to live.
Each project we undertake is distinct, but with our specialised experience working with Croydon Council, we can guide you through the complexities of local planning policies. Croydon features several conservation areas, such as Old Town, South Croydon, and East Croydon. Don’t let these restrictions discourage you from pursuing your dream extension—we have successfully completed numerous projects, including single-storey and double-storey extensions, as well as loft conversions.
How we work in this area
Our Architectural services in Croydon
New Build Croydon
As local Croydon architects, we are regularly handling new build projects in the area which has helped us expand our networks and contacts with fellow builders and engineers. Recently, we dealt with a new-build residence in Croydon. The brief included design for a newly built semi-detached house in Croydon.
The brief from the client included an open space ground floor accommodating the kitchen, living and dining rooms, as well as three bedrooms. The project was challenging, as it required a creative approach that compromised the client’s desire for a modern dwelling with the restrictions of the local planning authority, the Croydon Council and implementations of Croydon Local Plan.

House Extensions in Croydon
Recently, we embarked on a double-storey extension project on SouthCote Road which involved extending the existing house to the rear on the east side to provide an open-plan dining and kitchen and to provide an additional bedroom to the first floor.
Having worked with the council before gave us the edge to work on the application in a strategic way. To minimise any overshadowing to the adjacent property, the roof to the extension was designed at a lower level than the main roof of the house. Both the ridge level and the eaves level were kept lower than the existing roof.
The walls to the extension were constructed in brick to match the existing. The roof tiles for the new pitched roof were also selected to match the existing as closely as possible. The glazing was given a contemporary feel and was proposed to be grey UPVC or aluminium, complimenting the grey hues within the buff brickwork.
Another Single Storey Extension Project in Croydon completed by Extension Architecture stands as a prime example of the exciting results possible through close cooperation between clients and our multidisciplinary team, capable of supporting from inception to operation. Nestled in a residential road, we proposed a single-storey rear kitchen and dining extension of medium to high-end finish with a gross internal area of 172.7m², well-lit from skylights and with integrated kitchen design.
