Kennington, Stockwell
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
The architecture of Kennington offers a fascinating journey through London’s social history, from Georgian grandeur and Victorian industry to post-war idealism and vibrant multiculturalism. They are areas where monumental public buildings sit beside intimate residential streets, telling a story of constant change.
Stockwell’s architecture is grittier, more diverse, and deeply connected to its history as a transport hub and a centre for immigrant communities.
We have worked in the area since 2005, and have extensive dealings with both Lambeth and Southwark local authorities.
A couple of our most recent projects in the area are:
Alphabet Mews SW9
This commercial building was a new build by us, and it sits within a key industrial business area with Lambeth local authority. There are a number of permitted development conversions to residential there, and our latest project will be to apply and convert the building to mixed use, live work units.
Crampton Street SE17
Another commercial building that originally required a full interior fit out. This building also has the ability to convert to residential, and the latest works will again involve dealing with the local authority (Southwark) to agree a way forward for the convers
Manage Your Project With Design Build London
Design Build London is a full-service design and construction company that works out of London. We help homes in Kennington, Stockwell, and the communities around them with renovations, expansions, and custom constructions using a single, straightforward approach.
We take care of everything, from the first idea to the last handover. You don’t have to hire architects, deal with planning applications, or follow up with contractors. We take care of the little things so you can think about the big picture.
One Business That Takes Care of Everything
Not only do we create, but we also take care of your whole project.
Architecture, interior design, construction, and project management all work together in our integrated design-and-build methodology. You only have to deal with one company instead of a lot of them.
This format makes the process easy to understand and quick. Timelines stay on track, it’s easy to talk to each other, and it helps to keep prices down.
We make the process easy from the start, whether it’s adding on to the kitchen, converting the loft, or completely remodelling the property.
We Design With You
Every home and homeowner is unique. We start the design process by having a long conversation with you to learn about your needs, style, and goals.
Do you need additional room for your family? A layout that works better? A house that shows off your style? We create environments that work for how you live, no matter what your priorities are.
Our architects come up with very sensible, useful ways to make the most of light, space, and value without making things too complicated.
Before any construction starts, you’ll pore over concept drawings and 3D models that demonstrate exactly how your finished space will look.
Planning and Getting Permission? All Handled
Planning might be hard for London ventures. We handle it.
We take care of the paperwork and talk to the authorities on your behalf, from checks on allowed development to comprehensive planning applications and approval of building codes.
Quality Build You Can Count On
Once your design receives approval, our construction team will take over. We choose suppliers who take satisfaction in doing their work professionally.
Every build is led by an experienced site manager who makes sure it goes safely, smoothly, and on time.
We don’t give in. We choose the right materials, build installations that will last, and pay close attention to the finishing touches.
We hold regular site meetings and send you progress reports to keep you up to date on the process.
Transparent Prices
From the beginning, we believed in being honest.
After the design phase, you’ll get a full quote that lists everything that’s included. There are no unclear estimations or costs that change. Everything is properly explained, so you can make smart choices.
We talk about any changes that come up before anything else happens. No surprises. Just being honest and open with one another.
Local Knowledge Means Better Service
We are a London-based firm with years of expertise working in Kennington, Stockwell, and the communities around them. We know the architecture, the many types of buildings, and the planning details that come up a lot when you renovate in these locations.
But the most important thing is that we treat each project as if it were our own.
You’ll have one project manager who is in charge of everything and keeps in touch with you from beginning to end.
It’s not just about building; it’s also about building trust.
