Our Selected Case Studies in Orpington
What makes Orpington Special?
Orpington, a suburban town in southeast London, has a mix of architectural styles, reflecting its development from a rural area into a bustling suburban hub. Many of the older homes in Orpington are from the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. These homes typically feature red or yellow brick, with decorative brickwork and sometimes ornate wooden bargeboards. A large number of homes built during the interwar period reflect the Tudor Revival style. These houses often have exposed timber beams on the upper stories and brick or stucco facades. The architecture of Orpington often incorporates nearby green spaces, with housing developments designed to give residents access to parks and gardens, echoing the garden city movement. Orpington’s architecture is a reflection of its growth and suburbanization, blending traditional British styles with modern developments.
Plenty of great schools and a safe community also make Orpington the perfect place for growing families. It also has excellent transportation links. Orpington combines the best of both worlds and unquestionably keeps a significant amount of its Kentish identity. It is currently a part of the London Borough of Bromley but was formerly a part of Kent. Until the railway came along, the village was surrounded by hop gardens and orchards.

Nowadays, a lot of Orpington homeowners decide to have their loft or basement finished into a bedroom or office in order to make the space more functional. We also provide the following architectural designer services. When someone wants to expand an existing space or add a new room, we frequently perform home extensions.
This could be accomplished by building a porch, conservatory, single-story addition, or multi-story addition, depending on what is required. As part of our architectural design services, we can evaluate the structure of the building as it stands and create technical and preliminary drawings to outline the necessary work. By assisting you in using the space more effectively, a home extension can increase the value of your house and enhance functionality. As we have transformed many other types of structural calculations, tell us about the kind of architectural project you have in mind, and we will create some fantastic designs to fit your budget.

Our Experience in Orpington
We recently completed an exciting home renovation project “14 Ninhams Wood” that transformed a traditional house into a modern, open-plan living space. The heart of the home is now an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed to bring in natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Skylights above the kitchen flood the space with daylight, while sleek bi-fold doors open up to the garden, making it perfect for entertaining and relaxing in all seasons.
A contemporary staircase was installed, leading up to a newly designed first floor, where the master bedroom features an en-suite with a luxurious walk-in shower. We also maximized space in the loft, creating a second en-suite, ensuring both comfort and convenience for a growing family. This project perfectly blends modern living with functional design, creating a versatile home suited for both family life and entertaining.
An annex conversion project “35 Hayes Road” designed to create a comfortable, fully habitable space for a client's mother-in-law. The annex was transformed into a cozy yet functional living area, featuring a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom for convenience and privacy. The en-suite was designed with accessibility and comfort in mind, providing a modern, low-threshold shower and stylish fixtures. The heart of the annex is a modern kitchen that includes a central island, offering both a practical workspace and a gathering point for casual dining. A key technical challenge in this project was the relocation of a manhole, which required careful planning to ensure compliance with building regulations. >
