About Us">

Lipton Plant Architects are an established, RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Chartered Architecture practice with extensive experience in the private residential sector along with mixed-use, commercial and retail projects. We are located in central Islington and undertake projects throughout London along with parts of the UK and Ireland. Due to our location, much of our work takes place in the Borough of Islington and we take an active role in the local business community, including being members of the Islington Chamber of Commerce. We have developed an excellent working relationship with Islington Planning and Conservation departments along with the majority of other London Planning departments. As a holder of the Investors in People Standard since 2006, we strive to find the best people and continually invest in them to foster an ambitious and motivated environment. We are also committed to nurturing emerging architectural talent and as such regularly accept work experience placements from schools and universities both locally and further afield. We aim to apply exceptionally good business and financial sense to ensure the stability and advancement of the practice and guarantee that this is extended to benefit clients and the projects that we undertake. The relationship between budget and goals is at the forefront of our minds and subsequently the advice that we offer. Through our experience as a practice, we pride ourselves on our genuine understanding of longevity, generating fresh and effective design solutions, which are intuitively modern, yet subtle and practical. We are experienced in working with restrictive briefs and circumstances and have an expertise in conservation and listed building issues. LPA are always searching for new ideas and technologies whilst ensuring that the main design concept is rigorously upheld. Whether working on new or existing buildings, we will always strive for a strong design aesthetic whilst respecting existing context, proportion and client requirements. Our environmental policy is not an add-on to our projects but an integral part of every scheme, with all thought processes being founded in a consciousness that the impact upon the environment should be as minimal as it can be. We are committed to sustainable development in design, protecting the environment, minimising the waste on sites and reducing energy consumption. In the workplace we are dedicated to making the LPA office a greener and more environmentally-friendly place to work, and to working towards a more sustainable ‘greener’ future. We are able to offer a full Architectural service in house. Additionally, we have developed a wide network of excellent quality suppliers, contractors, consultants and other professionals, with whom we regularly work and are able to draw upon to supplement and enhance the experience of working with us.

Our Service">

Many clients come to us with big ideas but sometimes little experience in the building process and we believe it is our responsibility to introduce as much clarity as possible. As such, below is a step by step guide to working with us on your project, whether it be works to your home or masterplanning a city, the same processes will apply:

Stage one (RIBA Plan of Work stages A & B)

Irrespective of scale and budget, we place emphasis on the process of defining the brief through discussion and exploration of ideas. At this stage we will talk through your brief, usually accompanied by a visit to the building or site to be developed. A feasibility study or a brain storm of ideas will sometimes be produced to demonstrate alternative schemes.

Stage two (RIBA Plan of Work stages C & D)

A preliminary scheme will be prepared a developed in conjunction with the client, to ensure that it meets (or exceeds) the initial brief. This will take the form of plan, elevation and section drawings, sometimes presented alongside 3D studies and precedent photographs to help explain our ideas. This stage is about forming spaces and a building form generated by a strong initial concept. External materiality will need to be considered along with an idea of how the new proposals will sit within the landscape. If applicable, an agreed scheme will be submitted for approvals from the local authority (planning / conservation / listed building consent), heritage protection or landowners. For a full planning application, the statutory timescale within which a submission must be determined is eight weeks. During this time, LPA will maintain contact to monitor the application and respond to any queries or comments that may be raised. On smaller projects, stages A – D are often grouped together as the first stage.

Stage three (RIBA Plan of Work stages E – H)

Following successful receipt of the necessary planning / heritage / landowner permissions, the project will be further detailed and developed to be suitable for submission to contractors for pricing. With the spaces and building form developed already, this stage is about fine tuning. LPA will work closely with the client to discuss materials, finishes, fittings and construction details. We will help and advise on all aspects of the build from the selection of materials to surface finishes, kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, heating systems and renewable energy technologies.

Additional consultants will normally be required at this stage to input upon the structural design, mechanical and electrical services and Party Wall notices. We can help source the necessary consultants from a number of high quality companies with whom we have developed close working relationships. Following the completion of the preparation of information, a tender pack can be submitted to contractors in competitive or negotiated tender. Again, we have worked closely with numerous contracting firms over the years and can help source the most appropriate builder for your project.

Following receipt of tender prices, we can assist in the negotiation and assessment of prices leading to the selection of a contractor. If appropriate, we will also make a Building Control submission to ensure that, where necessary, the proposed works are compliant with The Building Regulations. On larger projects this stage may be broken down further to multiple review stages.

Stage four (RIBA Plan of Work stages J – L)

Following the selection of a contractor, we will provide advice on the most appropriate form of Building Contract. Once the Contract has been let to a contractor and work has commenced on site, we can act as Contract Administrator to oversee the project, acting as an intermediate party between the client and contractor. In this role, we can prepare valuations, monitor the budget and keep check on the project programme. In our role as Architect, we are able to monitor the project as work progresses on site, attending site regularly to ensure that the required quality is being upheld and that the drawings are being properly adhered to. This duality of roles – more appropriate to smaller projects such as residential refurbishments and extensions - means that the project is carefully monitored and overseen from an aesthetic as well as a practical point of view, resulting in a greatly improved finished product.

New Build Houses

Hill House

Sevenoaks

Built to replace an existing house and with a brief to provide a modern 4,000 square foot, five bedroom family home on a private road in Sevenoaks, the steeply sloping site on which the house sits provided the main source of inspiration for this design. Having raised the entrance level by half a storey to accommodate the slope down to the property, the resulting change in level across the house creates an exciting mix of varying height spaces that interlock around the main stair atrium, reflected most obviously in the predominantly glazed rear façade. Combined with a series of energy saving devices, including a ground source heat pump, this modern design aims to stand apart as a forward thinking design for future houses to come.

Russell Road

Moor Park

Set on an acre site in Hertfordshire, this 21,000 square foot, nine bedroom new build house takes on a Georgian appearance comprising a main central part of the house with two projecting wings to either side. The house boasts a full leisure complex in the basement with swimming pool, gym and cinema. The design is also being completed to exceed current building standards relating to heat loss and energy efficiency, in order to minimise running costs and exemplify modern building techniques. The grounds have been landscaped to incorporate the house into the gently sloping land, with a largely glazed rear elevation facing onto a serene outdoor pool.

Summer Lawn

Moor Park

The development of this one acre site commenced with a complicated planning process, ultimately resulting in LPA gaining permission for demolition of the existing house, for replacement. The new building is a seven bedroom Neo-Georgian house located in the leading road on the private estate. The contemporary interior features an elliptical stairwell, industrial walnut and stainless steel Italian kitchen and high gloss tiled surfaces. The modern interior contrasts with the red brick exterior which is more consistent with its traditional context.

Conservation

Alwyne Road # 2

Canonbury

LPA were appointed to extensively extend and refurbish the lower ground floor of this Victorian private house in the Canonbury Conservation Area. A new side extension was designed to be subordinate to the main house, divorced visually by a lightweight glazed box structure, located between the two, and serving as an entrance lobby to lower ground floor rooms. The extension contains a guest suite comprising a studio bedroom, shower room and separate kitchenette. The existing accommodation was subsequently reconfigured to form a large open-plan kitchen, dining area and children’s play room with the ceramic floor tiles internally extending out onto a new external terrace area at the same level. The new areas were fitted with double glazed windows and doors which, along with a new highly efficient underfloor heating system, have greatly improved the energy efficiency of the house. In the kitchen, a combination of chocolate brown Parapan units and blush pink sliding doors make a striking feature in this contemporary refurbishment.

Alwyne Road # 3

Canonbury

This Victorian semi detached villa was refurbished throughout, including the complete replacement of all mechanical and electrical services and the addition of a side and rear extension at lower ground floor level. The extension allowed for the remodelling of the lower ground floor to create a semi-open plan kitchen and dining space with a study to the rear overlooking the extensively re-landscaped garden. Whilst much of the remodelling of the house involved the reinstatement of traditional details and finishes, the house retains a modern interpretation of many of those details. The inclusion of energy efficient services and materials has meant that the complete refurbishment will also aid in the overall efficiency and low running costs of the property in the future.

Canonbury Park South

Canonbury

LPA were approached by the buyers of this Grade II listed, early Victorian semi-detached house with a brief to modernise and repair the existing building. The house had previously been renovated in the 1960s by the Architect owner, who stripped it of original features. We worked closely with the Conservation department of Islington Council, the local conservation society and the client to carefully restore the features appropriate to the age of the property. In conjunction with the detailed restoration, our client’s brief led us to challenge the guidelines to reach a design solution to extend the property which complimented the existing building whilst creating a contemporary family space.

Chantry Street

Islington

The client came to us with a brief to refurbish the whole house sensitively to the age of the property, with a specific focus on making the small rabbit warren of rooms at lower ground floor level brighter and more useable. An existing half width rear extension was re-built in yellow stock brick to match the existing house and the remaining space adjacent was infilled with a glass conservatory forming an open plan kitchen and dining room. The potential heat problem from the south facing aspect of the new glazed extension was tempered by using a self cleaning, solar control glass. The upper floors were carefully updated with new materials and finishes sympathetic to the original fireplaces and joinery.

Pyrland Road

Newington Green

This property began life with LPA as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). Divided into several flats and bed-sits over five stories, the property required complete refurbishment and reinstatement of many of the original rooms and proportions to create a family home once more. Tackled in two distinct design approaches, the upper floors of the house were re-designed to reinstate many of the original features and proportions of the house, whilst on the lower ground floor a glazed extension informed the overtly modern design approach to create an open plan kitchen / living / dining space. The entire property was re-lined using an insulated plasterboard which minimises heat losses in the building, beyond the requirements of the Building Regulations and will help to keep running costs down in the future. Whilst the lines and details were kept sleek and minimal downstairs, upstairs a more decorative internal finish was achieved through the use of rich decorations, finishes and lighting.

Spa Green Estate

Clerkenwell

This group of buildings was a revolutionary approach to social housing which began to dominate Britain in the 1940's. Lubetkin famously commented "Nothing is too good for ordinary people" and this is clearly evident in a building that has stood for over 60 years whilst many of its contemporaries have been demolished due to inadequate provisions. The works to this apartment were purely restorative, including the reinstatement of replica kitchen of the original design.

Interiors & Exteriors

Aberdeen Gardens

Highbury

Having worked with the Client on a previous project, LPA were appointed to design and commission library shelving for a house in Highbury. The final design for a wall of shelving was constructed in red gum timber with a sprayed lilac sliding bookshelf in front to create extra storage. The bookcase was built by Lee Tyler, whose work can also be viewed at www.leetyler.com.

Aberdeen Park

Highbury

The buyers of this private property in the Aberdeen Park conservation area approached us to re-design the house, add floorspace and form a new open plan family kitchen and living space at ground floor level. The loftspace was converted to provide a new studio room with en suite bathroom, overlooking the garden through a large dormer window. The property was extended to the rear, cutting across the garden at an angle under the extended first floor rear room, forming a covered external terrace and adding dynamism to the rear elevation. Externally the building’s appearance was radically transformed by replacing the existing uPVC windows with new grey painted softwood frames with double glazed units to minimise heat losses in the property. Internally, the requirement for low energy lighting in the property was exceeded which will help keep running costs down in the future. LPA also worked closely with the client in designing the bathrooms and internal finishes to their exact specifications.

Morton Road

Islington

LPA were appointed to design a single storey pavilion structure, extending the existing Victorian house, enabling better interaction with the garden. The extension is clad in black painted western red cedar and is fitted with dark framed powder coated aluminium bi-folding doors on two of its elevations. The aim was to contrast the contemporary treatment of the materiality of the extension with the original London stock brick house in order to clearly distinguish the new elements from the old. The ceramic tiled floor covering extends from within the kitchen area out onto a new patio, enabling the enlargement of the kitchen area by opening the doors. Elsewhere, our brief was to upgrade the existing property, with a new highly efficient condensing boiler being installed, new bathrooms, along with new joinery in the bedrooms and reception rooms.

Northchurch Road # 1

Islington

This large Victorian town house had in the past been divided into two separate dwellings, a flat in the basement and a maisonette above. The brief was to combine the two to revert the property to a single dwelling. The works concentrated in the lower ground level converting the existing dark and heavily divided space into an extremely light, open plan family area comprising kitchen, utility, frameless glass extension dining space and living area. The new glass extension fully opens onto a landscaped garden with raised geometric planters.

Platt's Lane

Hampstead

The owners of this large detached house near Hampstead Heath approached LPA with a brief to better integrate the upper and lower ground floor levels of their property. Previously segregated from each other by two steep, narrow staircases, the kitchen and living spaces were inconvenient for a family with four young children. We worked closely with the client to open up the divisions between the two spaces with a new shallow stair, glass balustrade and fameless glass pivot door, providing improved visual and physical connections.

St George's Avenue

Tufnell Park

LPA were approached by the new owners of this large Victorian terraced house to form a new storey to the building by lowering the floor in an existing basement cellar. Extensive groundworks were undertaken to form a new kitchen, dining and living space opening onto a sunken external terrace. Elsewhere in the property, three new bathrooms were added along with the complete modernisation and refurbishment of the existing rooms to create a five bedroom family house.

The Chine

Winchmore Hill

This existing turn of the century detached property had last been refurbished, extended and modernised in the 1960s. The new owners approached LPA to upgrade the existing property with specific care to integrate the two distinct architectural styles and incorporate an integral environmental strategy to reduce the emission levels. The works also involved the design of new outbuildings, namely a swimming pool pavilion and single car garage, sited to enclose a new walled courtyard garden.

Vale Road

Manor House

Used as a laundry for the past fifteen years and commercial warehouse before, the building had sat vacant in an almost dilapidated state. Consent was granted for change of use to a three bedroom dwelling comprising open plan living with glazed roof above, TV room and hallway all wrapped around an entrance courtyard. Externally, the building still retains its industrial appearance but internally, clean modern living accommodation can be enjoyed with views to the courtyard in complete privacy.

Wolsey Road

Newington Green

The works to the lower ground floor of this terraced Victorian house comprised the formation of a frameless glass box infill extension, the installation of full width bi-folding doors and the removal of the majority of the internal walls. The new, open plan space is accessed via an open tread, walnut stair and the existing kitchen has been replaced with new white high gloss units and composite stone worktop. A lozenge shaped island located in the centre of the space creates a focal point and provides a useful informal seating area.

Housing & Mixed-Use

Essex road

Islington

The site located on a principal Islington route currently contains a two storey 1950’s building. Planning consent was granted for a mixed use new build block containing both residential and office space. The design combines an industrial aesthetic while drawing from local context. LPA worked closely alongside the developer client and the Conservation department in formulating a design for the building which pushed the boundaries of the existing street context.

Fitzhardinge Street

Westminster

Recently occupied as the head quarters of the British Heart Foundation, Fitzhardinge Street comprised five Georgian town houses, laterally connected providing approximately 45,000 square feet of office accommodation. The brief was to concentrate on three of the buildings and reinstate as individual 10,000 square foot luxury town houses, located just minutes away from Oxford Street. Maintaining grade II listed status, the proposal comprises modern internal refurbishment whilst retaining or reinstating original features to make three beautiful family homes in the heart of London.

St Paul's Road

Islington

Planning permission is currently being sought for the redevelopment of a key corner site in Islington on the junction of Balls Pond Road and Essex Road. The proposal involves the demolition of the current buildings on the site and the construction of apartments and retail space on the corner building and two new houses to the rear. The site is a complex mix of architecture including a John Barry church on one opposing corner and a much larger 1960’s office building on the other. It is hoped that by taking on board the views of the Local Planning Authority, local residents and conservation groups, a successful permission will be achieved for what should be a land mark building in the local area. The new scheme aims to reflect the proportions and massing of the original building and surrounding buildings, whilst employing modern detailing and materials to avoid any risk of creating a pastiche of styles.

Theberton Street

Islington

Occupying a prime location in the heart of Islington, the scheme proposes the expansion of a well established and loved local restaurant across four Grade II listed Georgian buildings at both ground and basement level. The proposal incorporates a double height space to the rear with a new grand stair and balcony to basement level, a patisserie, formal and informal dining areas and a bar. To the upper levels, six flats occupy the first and second floors, carefully working with the original plan form so as not to disturb its original historic use.

Community & Retail

Bank of Tokyo

City of London

LPA were commissioned to design a new restaurant and in house catering facilities for the London head quarters of the Bank of Tokyo in the City of London. Working with the catering company, facilities managers and the bank itself we created a new restaurant and serving counter, along with ‘back of house’ and storage facilities. Working with the branding of the catering company, the new restaurant has created a modern, light and airy restaurant out of a previously under used series of spaces where employees can relax and enjoy the much improved atmosphere and catering.

Bolt Burdon Solicitors

Islington

Freestyle Skateparks

Across UK & Ireland

LPA worked closely with Freestyle Skateparks to implement a growing number of concrete parks in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Working with the parks designers, LPA led the procurement of each new scheme whilst aiding in the landscaping, specification and contract administration of the parks. LPA acted as lead consultant and were involved from the initial meetings with the local authorities and user groups through to construction and hand over of the finished schemes.

Project Altitude

Hemel Hempstead

The new 'Snow Centre' in Hemel Hempstead is an indoor complex providing skiing, snowboarding, shopping and dining under one huge roof. It sits in the same location as a former dry ski slope and has been designed to offer a real skiing experience. We worked with the McAlpine Design Group, Sir Robert McAlpine offering architectural support and detailing for this huge complex. With completion in April 2009, one is able to ski or board on real snow all year round.
