We’re an award-winning architect-led design and build practice dedicated to making transformative home renovations in London seamless, inspiring and enjoyable from day one.
As an architect-led design and build practice, we offer everything from standalone architectural design to fully managed construction. We know how to handle London’s planning nuances and we bring calm, thoughtful direction through every stage.
We specialise in sustainable refurbishments, design-led extensions , loft conversions and basements that feel right for how you live in a space you’ll love.
The traditional design-to-build process can feel daunting. Many homeowners spend months shaping their dream home and securing planning permission, only to reach the build stage and face unexpected costs that don’t align with budget. And when it’s your dream home, no one wants to compromise.
That’s why we turned the traditional approach on its head with our Design to Budget Approach, available with our design and build service. Learn more about our unique Pricing process here.

We’re known for bringing a fresh, sometimes quirky approach to reimagining period homes blending contemporary flair with a deep respect for original character. Our work strikes a careful balance between old and new: thoughtful, playful, and never afraid of statement colour or bold design details. We’re Federation of Master Builders award-winning and we have just won our 10th Best of Houzz award in 2026.
We don’t follow design trends for their own sake, instead, we approach each home on its own terms, creating spaces that feel naturally light and open, or calm and atmospheric, depending on what suits it best.
