Services
Full Architectural
If you are planning a major refurbishment of your home and are looking for creative and experienced collaboration through the entire project we will be delighted to partner with you on your exciting journey to create your home. Every project and every client is unique and we recognise the need to dovetail our experience and expertise into your aspiration. We will work closely with you to ensure you get incredible design and service that is right for you.
We offer full architectural services in line with the RIBA plan of works. We carry £2M professional indemnity insurance (PII) and cover all sectors from private residential to speculative multi-unit residential developments, retail and commercial. The work stages cover creating briefs, feasibility studies, project appraisal, design development, planning permission, technical coordination and contract administration. All our services can apply to new build projects and renovation projects. Every project is different and we create a bespoke service solution for each enquiry. More information on the RIBA plan of works and examples of each stage can be found here.
In addition to the standard architectural plan of works, we can also offer the following additional services:
Consultation
Our team has extensive knowledge and experience working in the private residential sector particularly. We are happy to consult on any element of a residential project. This may be as guidance if you are managing the project yourself or as an expert opinion if your team is lacking particular knowledge. Perhaps you just want to offload your thoughts and get some insight into what your options are. During our consultations we will happy share our experience and contacts of suppliers and contractors that might be required. Any recommendations are provided entirely impartially and our fees completely transparent. We can provide consultations in person, either on the project site (anywhere in the world), or at our studio. We can also provide this service via video call for overseas clients or if this is more convenient.
Consultations are charged at £165 / hour plus travel time (50%) and expenses
Interior Design
We love all aspects of design and will happy get involved with interior design either in additional to the above architectural services or as a stand alone project, large or small. We can create concept books, Look & Feel books and mood boards; to full schedules of fixtures fittings and furnishings. We have access to a wide network of manufactures and makers, importers and suppliers for anything your projects requires. Our interior designers can consult on an hourly basis or be integrated into a full project management service; design, source, and implement.
Fees can be hourly, percentage or fixed. See our fees post here.
Trade discounts can be passed onto clients as part of the fee and services agreement
Property Appraisal
Many clients invite us to view properties before they purchase them to advise on the potential development opportunities. We can do this by accompanied viewings, or remotely depending on your requirements. We can also act as your agent if you are unable to visit the property yourself for geographical reasons. As we are located in London this is most economical in the Greater London area however we have associates located throughout the UK from the Highlands to Cornwall and can provide this service (and most others) across the UK. We are also prepared to travel internationally.

If you don’t have a particular property in mind we can also find appropriate properties, either for development or refurbishment, to suit your requirements. Sometimes our our projects are available for sale, either completed or perhaps with planning permission. Equally we are always looking for properties for our clients which are architecturally interesting. Please get in touch if you are either selling or searching for something unusual.
