Expert Design & Finish
Brixton, the area Brixton Hill resides in, is known for its rich cultural heritage and strong community. The area hosts various events, markets, and festivals that celebrate its diverse community, including the annual Brixton Splash carnival and world famous fresh produce food markets.
Brixton offers a variety of amenities, including the Ritzy cinema, a public library and excellent connectivity to the rest of London. The area boasts a vibrant high street, topped off by a stunning church at its head. A strong roster of retail shops, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues, make a procession up from the church and line the high road.
Brixton Underground station, which is conveniently located on the high street, provides easy access to central London and other parts of the city via the Victoria Line.
Brixton Hill, where the loft build was completed, is predominantly a residential area, with a mix of tenements including terraced houses, apartment buildings and converted properties. The road is a fairly busy one, with a steady flow of traffic and pedestrian activity throughout the day.

Along Brixton Hill buyers can find a range of housing options, including period terraced houses, converted flats, and newer developments.
Period terraced houses offer the best scope for renovation and development along Brixton Hill. The rows of period terraced houses, particularly Victorian and Edwardian-era properties will often feature attractive brick fascias, bay windows, and period detailing, perfect for interior refurbishment and improvement.
Brixton Hill is also known for its unique conversion projects – where non-residential buildings have been transformed into residential spaces. These conversions can include former warehouses, school buildings and churches.Â
Take a look at the gallery below for some before and after pictures of this distinct project.
We understand the importance of natural light and captivating views in your loft. That’s why this design takes specific consideration into the placement of windows, skylights and roof lights. Our strategic positioning allows ample daylight to flood the space – creating a bright and inviting living space. We have also ensured that the windows installed capture the best views available.
Our professional architects and designers are experts in assessing the potential of your space and the options available to you. This detailed evaluation forms the foundation of our design and planning process.
Whether you desire a new bedroom, bathroom, storage solution, home office, playroom or in this case a second kitchen, the team will work closely with you to develop your vision.

Centre piece of the design to capture maximum natural light.
When incorporating skylights into a design we pay careful consideration to their size, placement and glaze. We also factor in details such as the orientation of the roof, the closeness of neighbouring buildings and the desired lighting effect for the space.
Overall, natural light and skylights play a crucial role in creating a pleasant and well-lit environment – in any loft conversion. But by harnessing the benefits of natural light, including the strategic use of skylight in this project, the overall ambiance is not only enhanced, but amplified to a magnitude of ten.Â
Our extensive contacts and knowledge puts us in a brilliant position to help our clients with planning permissions for loft and building works in Brixton Hill and surrounding roads in the local area.
Your loft conversion may fall within a permitted development, which allows certain types of development without the need for planning permissions. This will usually be the case if the facade or shape of the building is not being changed or extended. Permitted development rights can vary depending on factors such as the size and type of the conversion, the property’s location within Brixton Hill, and whether it is a listed building or within a conservation area.Â
If your loft conversion does not fall within permitted development rights, you will need to apply for planning permission from the local planning authority, which in the case of Brixton Hill is the London Borough of Lambeth. The planning authority will assess your application based on various factors, including the impact on the external appearance of the property, the surrounding area, and any relevant planning policies. We help people every year navigate these processes and make successful planning applications. Â
Whether you require a drastic conversion or the build will fall into what is now your property’s current size and exterior shape, we can assist you with all aspects, talk to the team about your project.
Permitted development rights have certain limitations in terms of the size, volume, and extent of the loft conversion. If your proposed conversion exceeds these limits, such as increasing the overall height or volume of the roof, extending beyond the designated space or altering the roof slope significantly –Â planning permission will be required.
If your loft conversion involves changing the shape or profile of the roof, such as adding dormer windows, mansard roofs or other roof alterations that materially affect the external appearance – planning permission will be necessary.
If your property is located within a designated conservation area, loft conversions may require planning permission regardless of whether they fall under permitted development. This is because conservation areas have stricter regulations to preserve the architectural character and heritage of the area.
Loft refurbishments in listed buildings almost always require planning permission. Listed buildings have special protection due to their historic and architectural significance – any alterations or modifications, including loft refurbishments, must go through a thorough planning process.
If you plan to convert the loft for a different use than its current designation, such as changing it from storage space to habitable space or creating additional dwellings –Â planning permission will be necessary.
If you are planning your loft conversion we can help with the plans and planning permissions.
