Architectural Design and Planning Services in Barnet, Enfield and North London
MSK Design Ltd provides architectural design, planning strategy, technical design and project delivery services for homeowners, developers and property owners across Barnet, Enfield and North London.
Based in High Barnet, we work on residential and mixed-use projects of varying scale, from house extensions and loft conversions through to new build homes, flat conversions, residential developments, airspace developments, commercial alterations and construction-stage support.
Our service is planning-led, design-focused and technically aware. We help clients understand what is possible, what permissions may be required and how to move a project from early feasibility through to planning approval, Building Regulations, tender and construction
Our Architectural and Planning Services
We provide a joined-up service that can be tailored to suit the project. Some clients appoint us for feasibility and planning only, while others retain us through technical design, contractor tendering, contract administration and construction support.
Our main services include architectural design, planning applications, permitted development reviews, Building Regulations packages, technical design, contractor tender support and project delivery.
House Extensions
We design residential extensions that improve space, light, layout and long-term usability.
Our extension services include single-storey rear extensions, side extensions, wraparound extensions, two-storey extensions, front extensions, internal remodelling and full house refurbishment projects.
We assess the most appropriate planning route for each project, including permitted development, Lawful Development Certificates, householder planning applications and full planning applications where required.
Loft Conversions
We provide architectural design, planning and technical services for loft conversions across Barnet, Enfield and North London.
This includes rear dormers, hip-to-gable loft conversions, mansard roof extensions, rooflights, roof alterations and full loft conversion construction packages.
We review whether a loft conversion can be carried out under permitted development or whether a planning application or Lawful Development Certificate is required.
Residential Developments
We support residential development projects ranging from small infill sites and flat conversions to multi-unit residential schemes and airspace developments.
Our residential development services include site appraisal, unit mix studies, planning strategy, layout design, policy review, consultant coordination and preparation of full planning applications.
We focus on maximising development potential while responding to local planning policy, housing standards, neighbouring amenity and buildability.
Planning Permission & Strategy
Planning strategy is central to our work.
We prepare and manage planning applications for residential, commercial and mixed-use projects, including householder planning applications, full planning applications, Lawful Development Certificates, prior approval applications, permitted development reviews and pre-application submissions.
Our approach includes reviewing planning history, local policy, neighbouring relationships, design constraints and development potential before preparing a submission.
Project Management and Contract Administration
We can assist with the construction stage of a project through project management, contract administration and site support services.
Depending on the appointment, this may include tender support, contractor procurement, contract setup, site inspections, valuation reviews, payment certificates, variation reviews, site queries, practical completion and defects monitoring.
This service is suited to clients who require professional oversight during construction and want a more structured route from technical design to completion.
New Build Homes
We design new build homes and replacement dwellings for private clients, landowners and developers.
Our new build dwelling services include feasibility studies, concept design, planning strategy, householder and full planning applications, design and access statements, technical design and consultant coordination.
We help clients assess site constraints, local character, access, overlooking, privacy, scale, massing, sustainability and Building Regulations considerations from the outset.
Principal Designer under the Building Regulations
We provide Principal Designer services under the Building Regulations for relevant projects where appointed.
The Principal Designer role helps plan, manage and monitor design work during the design phase to support compliance with the Building Regulations.
This is separate from the CDM Principal Designer role and should be considered early in the project, particularly where more than one designer or consultant is involved.
Mixed-Use and Commercial Projects
We work on selected mixed-use and commercial projects, including retail, restaurant, leisure, education, HMO and residential-over-commercial schemes.
These projects often require careful coordination between planning policy, access, servicing, fire safety, building use, neighbour impact and Building Regulations.
Our experience includes commercial alterations, changes of use, mixed-use redevelopment, upper-floor residential conversions and planning strategy for complex sites.
Technical Design & Building Regulations
After planning approval, we can prepare technical drawings and Building Regulations packages to help move the project towards construction.
Our technical design services include construction drawings, specifications, structural coordination, insulation and Part L coordination, fire safety considerations, drainage coordination, accessibility review, consultant input and Building Control submissions.
This stage helps translate the approved planning design into a coordinated and buildable technical package.
