Planning Approval Secured for Commercial-to-Residential Conversion

We are pleased to announce that planning approval has been secured for Wedged House.


A conversion of a three-storey commercial building with basement accommodation into a single dwelling.


The project presented a number of design challenges, including an unusual triangular footprint, limited access to natural daylight and an inefficient internal arrangement. Through a comprehensive internal reconfiguration, the proposal transforms the building into a bright and functional home while working entirely within the existing building envelope.

The design improves circulation throughout, maximises usable floor area and enhances daylight penetration across all levels, all without requiring external alterations. By carefully reimagining the internal layout, the scheme demonstrates how underutilised commercial buildings can be successfully adapted to meet modern residential needs.

As cities continue to evolve, projects such as this highlight the potential of existing building stock to provide high-quality housing through thoughtful design and adaptive reuse.


We look forward to supporting the project through its next stages and seeing the transformation brought to life. To learn more about this project, explore our portfolio and discover the story behind Wedged House.

If you're planning a renovation, extension, new-build home or conversion project and aren't sure where to start, we'd be happy to help. Get in touch or book a call with Richard to discuss your ideas and explore the potential of your home.

On 25 March, Richard will be speaking at NLA’s Coffee Conversation about how London’s most constrained and overlooked sites can play a role in addressing both the housing crisis and the climate emergency. Across the city, small and fragmented plots are often dismissed as too difficult to develop. Backland sites, former garages and leftover spaces within established neighbourhoods are frequently overlooked by conventional development models. Yet collectively they represent a significant and largely untapped opportunity.

There is a particular responsibility that comes with working on an existing building. The Old Timberyard , a former Victorian workshop, offered the opportunity to demonstrate how careful retrofit can honour heritage whilst delivering genuine long-term performance. Behind its retained brickwork and historic fabric sits a carefully executed EnerPHit upgrade. This was not about surface improvements, but a rigorous, fabric-first transformation, reworking a cold, underperforming structure into a comfortable, resilient and low-energy building fit for contemporary use.
