Architectural & Interior Design in Earl's Court.

Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Earl's Court 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 Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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.

Earl's Court: the houses and the planning rules.

Earl's Court is late-Victorian London: tall terraces around garden squares such as Nevern Square and Philbeach Gardens, most of them long since converted into flats, with mansion blocks on the main roads. Ceilings are high, rooms are deep and the building fabric rewards a thorough refurbishment.

Our award-winning living space is here, in Nevern Square: a ground floor reworked as one long room with the kitchen hidden behind a wall of bespoke joinery, featured in House & Garden. We also supplied a seamless Corian worktop and basin for a bathroom in the same square.

The Nevern Square, Philbeach and Earl's Court Village conservation areas cover much of it.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

Planning applications go to RBKC. The garden squares are conservation areas and many terraces are listed or locally listed.

Flats

Most properties are leasehold flats, so a licence to alter from the freeholder is normally required alongside building regulations approval.

Party walls

Terraced construction means structural openings and new services usually engage the Party Wall Act; we serve the notices early.
