In the heart of Wimbledon
A handsome white stucco and red brick house that shines beautifully from every angle. The wisteria in full bloom spilling over the entrance, the welcome softened by lush greenery. Round to the rear, and the house opens right up. Featuring full width glass doors folding back so the living and dining areas flow straight onto a formal garden, where lavender, roses and perfectly clipped striped lawns frame a stone path home.

Classic character out front, modern living at the back a single home designed to be lived in, not just looked at.

The appointment of an architect is rarely given the weight it deserves, yet it defines the trajectory of the entire project.

Beyond aesthetics, it calls for demonstrable expertise, sound judgement, and the support of a capable team able to navigate complexity with consistency. These early decisions shape not just the design, but the clarity and confidence with which a project moves forward.

Wimbledon | Georgian New Build

A wonderful Georgian new build in Wimbledon, thoughtfully designed to combine the proportions, detailing and materiality of a traditional Georgian home with the comfort and functionality of contemporary family living.

From its carefully crafted brickwork and classical detailing to the generous rear elevation and beautifully landscaped garden, every element has been considered to create a home with a strong sense of character and permanence.

Wimbledon New Build | Site Progress

John takes us through the latest progress on our Wimbledon new build project, where the foundations are in place and the structure is beginning to take shape.

With the groundwork completed, the steel picture frame structures are now defining the building’s form, while the hallways and window frames are starting to bring the architectural vision to life.

It’s exciting to see this project progress from the ground up as the design becomes reality.

This afternoon we bring you our concepts from one of our Georgian new build commissions in Wimbledon Village. Location NDA.

Our client has always held an affinity for a famous house in Wimbledon Village called ‘South Lodge’ which overlooks the Common, and has always wished for their dream home to take cues from this impressive historic house. Through the use of materials; brickwork, stone, slate, lead and design features such as the parapet, chimneys hipped roof and stone surrounds to windows we have created a design which synthesis a nod to the inspiration of the past, but feels fresh and original and something they can call their own.

The curved walls make for an interesting juxtaposition against the hard lines and help make the transition between the built form and the organic environment of the garden. Spanning full width to form a tall boundary along the party wall for maximum privacy, they diminish towards the back of the property revealing the garden and the outdoor amenity areas.

APPEAL WON! In Twickenham Green Conservation Area against LB Richmond.

This decision is incredibly important as we have been working with our planning consultant @the.plannery on securing this permission for almost two years.

We took on this site along with @the.plannery after two dismissed appeals by other consultants. It was a challenging planning history and a sensitive Conservation Area location, with a Building of Townscape Merit located at the front of the site.

In-line with the clients aspirations we designed a contemporary, policy-led scheme and built a very strong case supported by an excellent team of consultants led by @the.plannery, @hcukgroup , with a beautifully landscaped garden designed by @maximejoneslloyd_gardendesign .

The proposals preserve the character and appearance of the Twickenham Green Conservation Area and the open setting of the site, retaining 97% of the existing open space. It protects all significant trees, includes a biodiverse green roof, there would be no harmful impact in terms of neighbour amenity, flood risk, highways, ecology or design, and delivers a high-quality additional home for our client in a sustainable location.

Despite the above and complying with Local and National policy, Richmond Planning were against this proposal from the beginning and wanted to see the dilapidated site remain unaltered, leading them to issue a refusal of Planning Permission leading to appeal.

The Planning Inspector agreed with our application overturning Richmond’s refusal. Securing this decision is an incredible outcome.

We couldn’t be happier for our client who has finally secured a permission on this very tricky site. Project led by DGA director Philip Jones-Lloyd.

Listed buildings and conservation areas come with rules - and no two are quite the same. Every location has its own planning constraints, and understanding them early makes all the difference. Whether it’s navigating permissions or working within heritage guidelines, the right approach helps turn complex projects into achievable ones.

Planning Appeal Victory on Richmond Hill
A significant planning success for DyerGrimes Architects, having secured a successful National Planning Appeal against the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames for the reversion of four flats into a single family home.
Set on Richmond Hill, this five-storey property enjoys stunning views across the River Thames and its historic terraced gardens. Having fallen into disrepair, the house was also affected by a full-height external metal fire escape, which detracted considerably from its appearance and architectural character.
Our proposals focused on restoring the property to its former glory as a family home. The scheme includes the removal of the external fire escape, careful cleaning and restoration of the existing brickwork and architectural details, together with improvements to the building’s energy efficiency through insulation and sustainable measures.

The appeal is particularly significant given the recent changes to LBRUT planning policy, which introduce a presumption against the loss of residential dwellings. The successful appeal demonstrates the importance of carefully considered design, heritage and planning arguments when navigating complex local planning policy.
Historically, many of the larger houses on Richmond Hill have been divided into flats. Over the years, DyerGrimes Architects have helped numerous clients to restore and convert these properties back into single family homes, protecting their architectural character while creating high-quality, sustainable places to live.

It’s an exciting time at The Vineyard in Vaison-la-Romaine, Provence, France.

We’re preparing for “La Vendange” that wonderful time of year when it’s all hands on deck to harvest the grapes at their very best.

We’ve been taking advice from our good friends Tony & Kate at the world famous Domaine de Mourchon Vineyard in nearby Séguret. We’ll be sharing a separate post about their amazing vineyard soon.

Vaison-la-Romaine itself dates back to the Bronze Age, but it was the Romans who developed the town in the 2nd century, creating a theatre, bridge, aqueducts and thermal baths. Many of these remarkable remains can still be explored today through the town’s fascinating archaeological sites.

During the Middle Ages, inhabitants sought shelter on the larger rocky outcrop beneath the Medieval castle.

A refurbishment and extension to a locally listed Building of Townscape Merit in Richmond.

Originally designed by a renowned church architect, the building presents a unique set of challenges when it comes to balancing its architectural character with the needs of modern living.

Working closely with Richmond’s Conservation Officers, Dyer Grimes Architects are developing a considered approach that respects the building’s historic significance while introducing carefully designed improvements for contemporary use.

A project where understanding the existing architecture is just as important as designing what comes next.

In this Richmond Arts & Crafts project, John talks through the planning process, the challenges involved, and how the design has evolved to respond sensitively to the character of the existing property.

Projects within Richmond often require a careful balance between the client’s ambitions, the architectural character of the area and the requirements of the local planning authority. With years of experience navigating complex planning matters, John understands how to work through these challenges and find practical solutions that allow the design to move forward.

It’s this experience that means Richmond planners know John and know that when a planning issue arises, he’ll find a considered way to solve it.
