Piotr Goralczyk

Build Project Manager

Piotr is a registered UK Architect with more than a decade of experience specialising in high-end residential architecture. Since qualifying in 2013, he has delivered bespoke homes and residential projects, combining strong design principles with a practical understanding of construction and project delivery.

Alongside his architectural expertise, Piotr has developed extensive on-site experience through roles in site and construction management. This hands-on knowledge gives him a comprehensive understanding of the entire building process, from concept design and technical detailing through to construction and completion.

Piotr believes that exceptional architecture is defined by thoughtful detailing. He sees well-executed details as fundamental to successful design, ensuring that every project achieves both aesthetic quality and practical performance. His approach balances creativity with functionality, creating distinctive homes that are carefully considered, buildable, and enduring.

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 and Values

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