Scheme seeks to take design cues from Georgian architecture

Moll Architects have secured planning permission from the London Borough of Merton to transform a backland site currently occupied by a car garage on Queen’s Road, Wimbledon, into a modern development of three new townhouses. The site is located adjacent to the Priory Church of England Primary School.

The design of the townhouses draws inspiration from the grand Georgian architecture of the Regency period, with a particular focus on spatial configuration, room distribution, and details such as wrought iron balconies. Moll Architects have adapted the traditional tripartite scheme, commonly found in Georgian properties, to fit the dimensions of the site while introducing contemporary elements aimed at creating spacious interiors and incorporating sustainable design strategies.
