Planning Consultant - Centro
We were tasked with developing the concept design for a detached, family dwellings for a client in Hendon, North London.
The client liked symmetry, traditional forms, and contemporary stylings. It felt natural that the design took the form of two gabled frontages, which created a traditional geometry and defined central entrance and staircase.
Once this basic principle was frozen, we tested numerous iterations of this form to created something that was proportioned and architecturally pleasing. Brickwork with stone detailing was used because we felt this reflected the traditional and contemporary stylings of the form and massing.
Deed angled reveals and stylish stonework engravings were used to elevate the design into a luxurious and beautiful piece of Architecture.
The ground floor plan was greater than the upper floors – which at the rear were dictated by the rear facing windows of the adjacent properties. We decided this should be expressed as an extension of the brick mass – which took the form on a glass enclosure with stone detailing acting as the conduit between the front and rear language.
Internally, the client wanted 4 large bedrooms – each with en-suite spaces – including a generous master suite, with an additional visitor apartment which would be used by their elderly family members whilst visiting.
It was intended that each floor would be connected via a staircase gathered around a lightwell. The entrance spaces would allow for views into the rear garden, encouraging visitors into the dining areas which could be used by 20 – 30 people.
Avenue HeightsThe project brief was to extend a existing linear residential block on the edge of Crouch End, North London. As the design developed, the client extended the works to demolish and rebuild the linear block to improve the quality of the apartments whilst maintaining the contemporary architectural style.

DalstonThe brief was to develop this existing building on Kingsland Road, Dalston, into a mixed use commercial and residential project. The site, located on an old Roman road, has historic significance and was developed in the late 19th Century. The area was significantly bomb damaged during the Second World War, which explains why this building differs architecturally from the terrace resides. T2S felt it was logical to reinstate the Georgian terrace style to the front, whilst proposing a modern extension at the rear to retain a sense of historic honesty to the design.
