1. PEDDER & SCAMPTON ARCHITECTS:
DOMESTIC/RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
THE PRACTICE
Pedder and Scampton is based in North London and was set up in 1998 as a partnership which
was converted to a limited liability company in 2003. The practice undertakes a wide range of
projects, community and education as well as residential, ranging in value from about £50,000 to
£1.5m. Our domestic work includes refurbishment and extension as well as new build and we
have undertaken work on listed buildings as well as many projects in conservation areas. We
produce contemporary designs, complemented by the careful repair/refurbishment of original
historic fabric where appropriate. Space and budget are often at a premium and we pride
ourselves on maximising the potential of both.

WHAT PEDDER AND SCAMPTON CAN BRING TO YOUR PROJECT
Pedder and Scampton take great pains to work closely with their clients to ensure that both the
brief and the end project meet the client’s needs. As a small practice, we can ensure that every
project gets detailed attention from one of the Directors. We listen hard and respond to each
client’s individual comments but we also expect to challenge their initial expectations as to what
is achievable – we do not assume that a client’s initial brief would necessarily be the best
solution for the project but expect to explore and develop this alongside the client as the project
progressed. We work collaboratively with our clients in all of our projects.
We have a wide experience of different planning issues and prepare all applications thoroughly –
for planning, conservation area and listed buildings consents. We enjoy a high success rate in
achieving good consents for our clients.
We can provide a full architectural service (usually our preferred option) from initial feasibility
studies through design, preparation of working drawings, tenders and administration of the
construction contract or we can provide a limited service, for example up to planning or up to
submission of the building regulations application with the rest of the work arranged by the client
directly with a contractor. This can work well for small projects where the client has a tried and
tested builder, but can be a time consuming and often frustrating process for the client in other
situations.

2. We work hard to design individual and user friendly spaces with a quality that belies the tight
budgets that frequently apply and expect high standards of workmanship on site. We ensure that
the available funds are used carefully and to the greatest benefit and effect. Our clients
frequently return to us for further phases of work.

3. REFURBISHMENT AND EXTENSION IN HAMPSTEAD CONSERVATION AREA
This project consisted of complete refurbishment and extension of a 4 storey house overlooking
Hampstead Heath together with the linking of the house to the adjacent lower ground floor flat to
create a double frontage onto the garden. The existing, somewhat unsightly, conservatories to
both properties were removed and replaced with a co-ordinated design and the lower ground floor
opened up to create a large open plan family room and kitchen opening onto the garden. All the
existing bathrooms were replaced and a new master bedroom/dressing room/bathroom suite
created on the first floor. Pedder and Scampton designed and specified all the internal materials
and also designed the garden layout and hard finishes. The project is located within a
Conservation Area with some difficult neighbours but planning consent was granted within the 8
week period without any alterations to the proposals.

4. REFURBISHMENT AND EXTENSION OF LISTED HOUSE IN ISLINGTON
This 4 storey, grade 2 listed house in Islington had been poorly converted into two units and
lacked the amenities required for contemporary family life. The two units were reconverted to a
single house and extended negotiation with the planners resulted in planning and listed building
consent for two contemporary extensions, to the side and to the rear, which gave space for the
provision of additional bathrooms and improved access to the garden. The original rooms in the
main house were retained without subdividing and the historic features including joinery and
period cornices were carefully restored using traditional techniques.

5. NEW HOUSE IN SWISS COTTAGE CONSERVATION AREA
Design and construction of a contemporary family house for a site in a conservation area in Swiss
Cottage. The house was described by the Camden planning department as an exemplary case
of contemporary design within a conservation area. The building is steel framed, designed to the
module of the cladding materials (red brick and timber), to prevent wastage. A high thermal
mass, good insulation and a condensing boiler result in low energy consumption and a planted
roof contributes both to the local ecology and the views from the neighbouring houses. The house
relates closely to the garden which is divided into a series of ‘rooms’ which complement the main
internal spaces. The project gained an RIBA award, a Civic Trust Award and a Camden
Environment Award.

FLAT ABOVE FILM PRODUCTION COMPANY OFFICES, BLOOMSBURY
Pedder and Scampton have completed a number of phases of work to this building from the
original refurbishment and conversion of the whole building as offices in 1999 to the current
proposal to build a one bedroom flat/workspace on the roof. An extended and thorough planning
negotiation resulted in a good planning consent for a modern extension in the conservation area
behind Fitzroy Square. The new extension will be a lightweight construction prefabricated in cross
laminated plywood structural panels to achieve a minimum time and disruption on site.
