Square Feet have been commissioned to convert a vast loft space within a Victorian building on Finchley Rd into teaching and student spaces … we are currently working through the technical matters and excited to see how the designs emerge.
Two large houses on Arkwright Road in Hampstead, since converted into flats, have large rear gardens which back onto a rear lane, leading to some garages and other newer houses that have sprung up over the years.
In these back gardens are a selection of mature cherry, hazel and oak trees – all protected and within the ‘RedFrog’ Conservation Area.
The owners were looking to create new homes for their children, setting up home in expensive London.
After a process of engagement with the local residents, planners, tree officers and conservation team we attained planning permission for two new-build houses on the rear gardens, sensitively sited harmoniously between, in and amongst the trees.

Square Feet Architects recently completed a transformative project for the Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue in London.
This redesign enhanced the landscaping, introduced eco-friendly elements, and modernized the synagogue’s appearance. The outdoor spaces now offer serene gathering areas with lush greenery and improved pathways. Overall, the project creates a welcoming environment that respects the site’s heritage while embracing a contemporary aesthetic.

Delighted that this pair of handsome new houses have started on site. Watch this space for more info as we emerge out of the ground.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025.
We have a myriad of projects - some just starting like sketches for a new arts building on a kibbutz, some going in for planning permission like at the old policeman house in Hampstead, some in detailed design, like new teaching and student spaces for a French business school, and some starting on site like two new building 5000sqft houses in Totteridge.
Its going to be a great year, we can feel it!
Seasonal Greetings 2024 It’s (nearly) a wrap!
As we ‘wrap up’ 2024, we reflect on what has been an incredible year of conceiving, nurturing, and delivering a diverse range of projects. From new build homes and multi-unit schemes to spaces and places for education, charities, and communities, it’s been a year of creativity and impact.
This year, we were thrilled to launch the Sqft:Space Gallery at our Bell Street offices near Marylebone, showcasing inspiring new artists, projects and ideas. Our bespoke Sqft:Home brand continues to grow from strength to strength, and the opening of our new base in Manchester has brought fresh energy and opportunities.
Thank you to our clients, collaborators, and team for being part of our journey. With more exciting plans on the horizon, we can’t wait to share what’s next. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous 2025!
Warm regards
The Square Feet Team
