Architectural & Interior Design in Belgravia.
Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Belgravia from a first conversation to a set of drawings the council will validate and a builder can price, and because we are also the builder, the drawings are produced with construction in mind from the first sketch.
The design stage begins with a measured survey of the existing house and a conversation about how you live. From that we draw two or three options, develop the one you choose, and produce the planning application, building regulation drawings and interior specification: finishes, lighting, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms, all as one coordinated scheme.
We design to the policies of the City of Westminster from the outset, so schemes are not redrawn after a refusal, and we obtain pre-application advice where that would help. Many clients start with the design stage alone and decide later whether to build with us; the drawings are theirs either way.

Belgravia: the houses and the planning rules.
Belgravia was built by Thomas Cubitt for the Grosvenor estate in the 1820s and 1830s and it has barely changed since: cream stucco terraces around Eaton Square, Belgrave Square and Chester Square, with cobbled mews behind. The whole district is a conservation area, most houses are listed, and the Grosvenor estate remains the freeholder of much of it.
Work here is nearly always to a listed building, which means listed building consent, a heritage statement and an approach that treats the historic fabric as the priority. Within that we fit kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and services to modern standards, and convert mews houses into complete homes.
The Belgravia Conservation Area covers the whole district, and the majority of the houses are Grade II or II* listed.
Westminster City Council
Westminster decides planning and listed building applications for the whole of Belgravia, with detailed conservation area guidance and long-standing policies on roof extensions and basements.
Grosvenor estate
Grosvenor's own consent is required for most alterations on the estate, with its own design guidance and surveyors.
Listed interiors
Cornices, staircases, chimneypieces and joinery are part of the listing; changes need consent and specialist trades.
