About Scenario Architecture’s Work Across Dulwich
The diverse residential architecture of Dulwich makes it one of London’s most desirable and characterful neighbourhoods. Its generous family homes, set along quiet tree-lined streets, are celebrated for their gables, bay windows and timeworn brickwork, features that many homeowners have thoughtfully reimagined with modern touches. Whether you’re near the green expanses of Dulwich Park, the Dulwich Picture Gallery, or one of the area’s historic school halls, you are never far from architectural character.We founded Scenario Architecture in 2007 with a vision to build a uniquely collaborative practice. Each home we create begins with a deep understanding of how our clients live, resulting in spaces that are as practical as they are beautiful. At Scenario, our clients’ needs are always the driving force behind every decision we make. Our landmark project, A Bow to the Side, located on the Dulwich Estate, demonstrates this approach. The full renovation, redesign and extension of the family home successfully balanced Victorian heritage with contemporary design, navigating complex planning restrictions in the process. Traditional, durable and sustainable materials were carefully selected to honour the home’s past while preparing it for the future.Through our distinctive design approach, we delivered a scheme that celebrates contemporary architecture while respecting the history of the existing building. The project also included a bespoke garden room, designed to frame panoramic views of the landscaped garden and provide an inspiring, light-filled workspace.

Dulwich Architects
Scenario is an established architecture practice focusing on contemporary residential design. We take on projects of every scale, 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, Dulwich 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 client's 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.
