Greenwich & Blackheath
DESIGN BUILD LONDON is built off a huge platform of experience that started in 1982. Believe us, we have seen it all – and this industry can be a very dark, harrowing experience for the end user.
Architectural Design & Sustainable Construction
Being located in the centre of Old Greenwich, DESIGN BUILD LONDON is fully immersed in these two areas.
Being physically linked by Greenwich Park, the park rolls up from our office and opens out onto the vast expanse of Blackheath. The green space is what makes the combination of Greenwich and Blackheath so special, together with its proximity to Central London.
We have worked in the area since 1996, and have extensive dealings with both Greenwich and Lewisham local authorities.
A couple of our most recent projects in the area are:
Blackheath Park SE3
The entire refurbishment and extension of an Eric Lyons designed Span house.
A “Span House” was derived from the intention ‘to span the gap between the suburban monotony of the typical speculative development and the architecturally designed, individually built residence that has become (for all but a few) financially unattainable’. Lyons was seeking to bring modern architecture to middle class, middle income people, at a time when in Britain at least, modern architecture was either for large council estates or one-off houses for the very wealthy.
Our project retained the important original features such as the open plan interior, large windows, flat roofs, brick facade, tile-hung walls and timber panelling.
The original vision aimed to create the right conditions and environment that would make the estates attractive to prospective buyers and enjoyable places to live. We ensured that vision was not at risk by utilising reclaimed flooring, an open softwood staircase and an equally open double height first floor that introduced such technical detailing and specifications that brought the house into the 21st Century.


Rangers Square SE10
The entire refurbishment of an Andrews, Emmerson, Sherlock & Keable designed terraced house, originally built in1969-70.
This is a small housing community made up of 33 terraced homes. Internally the homes are a mere 3.2m wide and 9m long. They represent modern, efficient, open plan living, and the square has remained a very popular community to both the rental and homeowner sectors.
Made up of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, they all have vaulted roof spaces with rooflights that allow an abundance of natural light. They sit on high ground and afford views over to Canary Wharf.
This project’s challenge was a full strip back and “start again” refurbishment to achieve an extra bedroom, an ensuite bathroom, and loft storage, whilst maintaining and respecting the design charm of the original concept.

Design Build London: The Art Of Living Inspiration
Design Build London turns property ideas into beautiful, useful living places in Greenwich and Blackheath. We are based in London and are happy to provide homeowners a simple building procedure that handles everything from the idea to the finished product.
We work closely with you to figure out what you need. After that, we plan, design, and create with care and concentration. You don’t have to deal with different companies or keep track of multiple timelines. Our in-house staff handles every stage and gives you results you can trust.
Comprehensive Building Service
You receive more than builders when you choose us. It’s a complete package that works perfectly for you. Our professional team listen carefully, work together, and stay focused on your goals.
We make a plan that fits your house and your daily routine, whether you’re adding on to your kitchen or starting from scratch. After that, we take care of everything else, like planning applications, architectural design, materials, and construction.
Places That Work for You
We begin with good design since it sets the mood for everything else.
Our designers make layouts that fit your needs and style. Every plan strikes a balance between form and function to make sure that it is comfortable, useful, and valuable in the long run. We help you get more out of your house by making the most of the space you already have before adding more.
We make designs that last by using choices that will never go out of style and smart, flexible solutions.
Building You Can Trust
We start building as soon as the design is done. We employ only the best materials and skilled artisans to make your idea a reality. We handle every part of the build ourselves, with no outsourcing, no hidden fees, and no delays imposed by other people.
Our builders are proud of the work they do. We pay close attention to quality, safety and detail, whether we’re building a custom kitchen extension or remodelling the whole property.
We also make sure that everything is clean and polite. Even while the construction is going on, your home is still your space.
Eco-Friendly Approach
We construct with the better future in mind, both for you and the earth.
Every project we work on includes energy-efficient solutions. We use such materials that help lessen the impact on the environment without sacrificing your comfort. Our experts always prefer better insulation, low-energy heating systems, and natural ventilation.
We also use products that are properly sourced and try to cut down on waste whenever we can. Building green shouldn’t be hard. It should be easy, cheap, and a feature of every modern home.
Smart Approvals and Easy Permissions
It can be hard to get the necessary approvals. We professionally handle planning approval, building control, and all the paperwork that needs to be done. Because of our experience, there will be faster approvals and full compliance from the very beginning.
Project Management
Construction work may be challenging. That’s the reason we keep everything simple and in one place.
Our project managers are in charge of every step of the build. They set deadlines, keep track of trades, and make sure everyone understands. You’ll know what’s going on, when it’s going on, and why it matters.
We fix problems quickly if they come up. No excuses, no questions. Just make rapid decisions and keep everyone up to date.
You can expect fewer delays, smoother development, and a finished product that matches your expectations when one team is in charge of design, construction, and delivery.
