At Studio Jo Cowen, we embrace the unique challenges that heritage buildings present, viewing them as opportunities to blend history with contemporary living. Designing for listed buildings and heritage assets demands a sensitive approach—one that respects the original architecture while seamlessly integrating modern functionality. Our expertise lies in striking this delicate balance, ensuring that every project enhances both the character of the property and its suitability for modern living.
Navigating the complexities of listed building and planning consents requires not only creative vision but also in-depth knowledge of English Heritage guidelines and strategic collaboration with conservation officers. Our team brings years of experience in managing planning constraints and delivering approvals in areas like Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the City of Westminster. With our meticulous approach, we ensure that every detail is thoughtfully considered, resulting in homes that honour the past while embracing the future.
With extensive expertise in traditional and historic design, we have delivered a range of significant projects in London for our valued private clients. Our approach centres on exceptional design quality, seamlessly enhancing existing structures while introducing complementary new additions that respect their heritage.
We specialise in thoughtful and transformative alterations to Grade II, Grade II*, and Grade I listed buildings, as well as projects involving historic structures within conservation areas. Our team excels in extending, converting, and refurbishing listed properties, carefully balancing innovation with preservation. Whether in urban settings or rural landscapes, we navigate the complexities of working within conservation areas to create timeless spaces that honour the character and history of their surroundings.
