Meet the Team

Salvatore Provenzano, ARB

Architect / Cost Expert

A registered UK architect since 2017, Salvo has been working with design and build companies since 2015, with a strong focus on costing of home improvement from the early design stages right through to construction project management.

He brings calm and experience to each project, helping clients feel supported and in safe hands. Outside of work, he lives by the coast where he juggles life as a dad, enjoys making pizza in the garden, and takes long walks by the sea whenever he can.

Looking to renovate your London home?

Because we are both architects and a construction practice under one roof, we can manage every stage of your project from the initial concept all the way through to completion with clear budgets, realistic timelines, and seamless collaboration. Whether you’re planning a sustainable retrofit, a beautiful extension, or a full home refurbishment, we make the process straightforward, stress-free, and tailored to how you want to live.

About us

Get to know us

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 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.

Our Ethos

Our philosophy is simple: great design and great delivery should always go hand in hand.
