"Sam took all our concerns and wishes into account and came up with a plan that we’re very excited about. We can’t wait to get building and start living in our eco-luxe dream house."

Developers often have a poor reputation, and we are fortunate enough to work with one of the best in Richmond Upon Thames on their commercial developments, primarily applying for Planning Permission (under the General Permitted Development Order), under Class E for conversions from office to residential flats. This developer has a keen eye for high-quality spaces and finishes, above and beyond the requirements under Planning. Their intention is to deliver desirable, sustainable homes with a flair for good design and detailing.

The application process for converting from office or commercial property to residential units is more stringent than when it was first launched, with clear space standards for room sizes as well as the provision of appropriate storage facilities, among other criteria. We at Architecture:WK welcome the rules set out under Planning to ensure that new homes are properly insulated, provide light and ventilation, and are durable and sustainable. We are lucky enough to work again with this developer to provide new homes in Richmond Borough.
