Old Hampstead Police Station's planning success has been featured in The London Standard. Our ambitious proposals to convert the Grade II listed former police station and juvenile court into a mixed-use scheme for Redington Capital were given the green light by Camden Council earlier this month.

Last night, dMFK's proposals to transform a former gasworks site in Sydenham into 262 homes, a public retail square and 8,000 sqft of commercial space for Barratt London obtained resolution to grant planning at Lewisham's Strategic Planning committee.   Drawing inspiration from the materiality and architectural detailing of the neighbouring Grade II Listed Livesey Memorial Hall, the proposals will reimagine the brownfield site as a thriving new neighbourhood. This is our fifth major scheme for Barratt London, continuing to significantly contribute to the capital's much-needed housing stock. dMFK design team: Jonny Wong Julian de Metz Jim Smith Maxim Tooker Anabel Garcia-Kurland Planning Advisors: Montagu Evans Heritage and Townscape Consultant: Turley Landscape Architect: Macfarlane + Associates Community Engagement: Lowick Transport Consultant: Tetra Tech MEP Engineer: Silcock Dawson and Partners Structural Engineer: Meinhardt Group Access Consultant: Withernay Projects Environmental Impact Assessment: Trium Environmental Consulting LLP Ecology Consultant: Penny Anderson Associates Ltd Energy and Sustainability: Briary Energy Limited Principal Designer: CBRE Ground Remediation Consultant: RSK Group Daylight Consultant: DPR Visual: WyrdTree #planningsuccess #newhomes #lewisham

Last night, dMFK was named Building Design's Office Architect of the Year 2024. We're delighted. The judges said: “dMFK Architects’ portfolio demonstrates a sensitive and innovative approach to architectural heritage and context, showcasing beautifully crafted detailing, well-considered internal spaces, and thoughtful responses to post-pandemic trends, with projects like Chancery House and Voysey House exemplifying the practice’s ability to seamlessly integrate modern needs with historical charm.” At dMFK, whilst recognising measurable ‘standards’ in office design, we talk more about a ‘values’ driven approach, aiming for offices that are anything but ‘standard’. We were also delighted to be 'highly commended' in the Refurbishment and Reinvention Architect of the Year category - another great achievement and testament to the dedication, skill and expertise of our architects and designers. Thanks to our fantastic team, collaborators and brilliant, willing clients. Building Design. #AYA20in2024 #architecture #officedesign #workplacedesign #award

Huge congratulations to Jake Williams-Deoraj and Lisa Edwards on passing their RIBA Part III Post graduate diploma courses! They've both worked incredibly hard, and we're excited to see what they'll achieve as registered architects.

Delighted to get planning permission by a unanimous vote at Camden planning commitee for our retrofit and re-imagining of the Iconic Listed Hampstead Police Station last night. The ambitious scheme includes workspace (including affordable), medical use and 5 apartments, and will deliver on high levels of sustainable performance.

Around 70% of dMFK projects involve working in and around existing buildings, something that requires a particular eye, a sensitivity, and plenty of tenacity. We’ve been bushwhacking our path through this tricky sector for over 20 years now so it’s good that this work is now considered real architecture, and to be recognised by Building Design. in this way, is an unexpected honour. With the greatest of respect to our esteemed competition, fingers crossed we win.

dMFK is delighted to support Beyond The Box CIC as sponsors of The People's Pavilion 2025, a landmark project that will see young people aged 16 to 18 across all London boroughs work collaboratively with professionals to design and build a pavilion.   We really enjoyed participating in the 2023 iteration of the equity-centred, community-driven programme as volunteers, so it's great to be returning as sponsors. This year, the structure has been revamped to enhance its impact - it is now open to all young Londoners aged 16 to 18. Applications are open until Sunday 13th October: https://lnkd.in/gWvptNpT   Neil Onions Isobel Eaton Joanna Ball #BeyondTheBox #PeoplesPavilion #design #architecture #construction
