About Scenario Architecture’s Projects in Camden Town
Since the early days of our residential architecture practice, Scenario Architecture has collaborated closely with Camden Council’s Planning Department. Over the years, we have completed a wide range of successful projects across Hampstead and the wider borough, earning our reputation as the architects of choice in Camden.One of our earliest commissions in Hampstead came through a referral from clients in West Hampstead, following their full house extension and renovation. They recommended Scenario Architecture to friends embarking on a similarly ambitious project in the heart of Hampstead.For us, this was more than just another commission. It was an opportunity to refine our collaborative approach to residential architecture, a process that places the clients’ aspirations and lifestyle at the very centre of the design. When we started Scenario Architecture in 2007, our goal was simple: to put our clients at the heart of our process. We take the time to listen, turn ideas and aspirations into thoughtful design, and make sure the clients’ lifestyle shapes every aspect of the project. It’s their needs that guide our work from start to finish. Over more than ten years of working across London, we’ve refined this approach, learning how people truly live in and experience their homes. The result is bespoke, highly functional spaces that tell the story of their owners, not the architect.

Camden Architects
Scenario is an established architecture practice focusing on contemporary residential design. We take on projects of every scale and scope, from home refurbishment, renovation and expansions to new-builds.
Victorian renovations are more compassionate today than they’ve ever been, with homeowners striving to preserve architectural elements like decorative cornicing, ceiling roses, skirting boards and dada rails. Sash windows are being replaced by specially made wood reproductions and wood-burning fireplaces recouped after being sealed off for decades. Paint companies like Farrow & Ball have built multinationals out of replicating the de rigueur colours of Victorian times. And new tile ceramicists are bringing back traditional motifs with contemporary silhouettes, for front gardens and foyers. Hardwood floors have made a comeback, with timber salvage and reproduction going strong.
Most renovations focus on transforming the core of the home, and revolutionise the kitchen and bathrooms in the process. To recoup the extra floor area today’s families have become accustomed to, Camden architects are extending into voids in the lofts and side returns common in Victorians. Small period kitchens can open up into the side return without eradicating period features; in the recovered space, a corner can be reserved for a powder room or utility room. Ditto the loft: pushing up the ceiling and pushing out dormer windows can make new space available for an en suite bathroom.
With extending out into dead space comes the welcoming in of natural light. Upward-facing Velux windows become possible once the upper floor is properly extended and the main floor pushed out beyond the confines of the original footprint. If a second-storey extension is permitted in your plans, an internal void can bring natural light from the top floor downwards, and vice versa.

In our clients words
We wanted to renovate our house in a conservation area in central London. Given this involved a complete demolition and new build with an extra floor on top, getting planning approval was always going to be tricky. Scenario did an amazing job on the new house 'envelope' and throughout the planning phase. We couldn't have wished for better from them and having succeeded in gaining planning approval owe them a very big 'thank you'.
Scenario designed a kitchen extension for us, and we are delighted with the results. The process was well organised, planned and delivered, and the whole team were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them for their design, planning and project management skills.
Worked with these guys on the internal development of our office. From start to finish they were great. They got what we wanted first time and really made working with them very easy. Their aftercare has been great too helping us deal with something that they were not involved with in the first place. Will highly recommend them to anyone.
