Architecture in Fortune Green
Fortune Green, tucked between West Hampstead, Hampstead, and Kilburn, is one of North West London’s best-kept secrets. Its streets are lined with Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, and post-war apartments, offering a unique mix of architectural opportunities.
For homeowners, this means kitchen extensions, loft conversions, and internal refurbishments that improve how you live without losing the area’s charm. For developers, Fortune Green offers backland plots, conversions, and small-scale residential developments that — when designed with care — deliver strong returns.
At DOR Architects, we bring clarity, creativity, and build-ready expertise to every project, delivering planning-smart, technically robust architecture that enhances lifestyle and value.
“The client wanted a bold transformation — more space, more light, but with a quiet elegance that would blend into Fortune Green. The result: a house that feels both timeless and distinctly theirs.”
