Herne Hill & Dulwich
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 & Construction Services
Dulwich and Herne Hill are two adjacent areas, celebrated for their exceptional and contrasting architectural character. They offer a journey through time, from elegant Georgian villas to bold modernist masterpieces, all set within a uniquely leafy and village-like context.
Dulwich’s architecture is defined by its history as a private estate and its conscious pursuit of a rural, picturesque aesthetic. Herne Hill has a more organic, bustling feel. Its architecture is largely a product of the Victorian railway boom, resulting in a delightful mix of grand terraces and quirky, individualistic designs.
We have worked in the area since 2008, and have extensive dealings with both Southwark and Lambeth local authorities.
A couple of our most recent projects in the area are:
Burbage Road SE24
This is an elegant, leafy, and highly desirable residential road that characterises the Herne Hill area.
Located just a short walk from Brockwell Park, this property is a Victorian terraced house that retained its well-proportioned features, even though we fully modernised, extended and converted its roof.


Sunray Avenue SE24
Situated in a distinctive street, its architectural character is a superb example of 1930s Domestic Architecture. It represents the next major wave of London’s suburban development. Sunray Avenue is a prime example of the kind of housing that proliferated in the 1920s and 30s, built for a growing, aspirational middle class with easier access to motor transport.
The house extension and refurbishment was a full gut and start again, but many original features were retained, and added to by scouring various collector and memorabilia markets to ensure the work was a sympathetic nod to its past grandeur.

A Fusion of Utility and Style
We try to find a balance between design and function in every build so that your house not only looks amazing but also works effectively.
Because we know the area well, we understand how to make the most of space, light, and other planning options. We try to focus on minor details to major layouts. Your comfort is our priority.
Energy-Efficient Approach
Every project we do has two ways to save energy. We use products that are better for the environment without disturbing your design idea.
Our specialists always recommend greater insulation, heating systems that use less energy, and natural ventilation.
We also strive to utilise products crafted from appropriate materials and minimise waste whenever possible.
It shouldn’t be hard to build green. It should be easy, affordable, and something that every modern home has.
