From discreet single-room works to full lateral apartment and townhouse refurbishments, we deliver every discipline under one roof across Central London — architecture, structural engineering, planning and construction.
Central London is defined by its grand stucco-fronted terraces, mansion-block apartments and Georgian townhouses — the white crescents of Belgravia and Bayswater, the red-brick mansion flats of Marylebone and Knightsbridge, and the listed townhouses of Mayfair, Fitzrovia and St James's. These are among the most tightly regulated and highly valued properties in the country, where craftsmanship and discretion matter as much as design.
Work here is governed principally by the City of Westminster, the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and the London Borough of Camden, and a large proportion of buildings are listed or sit within designated conservation areas. Lateral apartment conversions, basement excavations and full interior refurbishments all demand meticulous documentation and party-wall coordination. Our architects and engineers manage listed building consent, planning and building control in-house so sensitive schemes progress smoothly.
Every commission begins with a private consultation in which our architects assess the building's listed status, lease conditions and structural opportunities before developing concept designs. Keeping architecture, engineering, planning and construction within one team means schemes for listed townhouses and mansion flats move forward without the delays and finger-pointing that come from coordinating separate firms — and the building's historic fabric is safeguarded throughout.
We work throughout prime central London, including Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury, Bayswater, Paddington, Pimlico, Soho, St James's, Victoria and Westminster.
