Architectural & Interior Design in Holland Park.
Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Holland Park 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.

Holland Park: the houses and the planning rules.
Holland Park has the largest houses in west London: detached Italianate villas on Holland Park itself and Addison Road, the studio houses built for Victorian painters on Melbury Road, and the stucco crescents of Norland. Plots are generous, gardens are deep and the planning authority protects both.
The work we see here is at the top end of the residential market: whole-house refurbishments with new services, basements under the larger villas, garden rooms and pool houses, and interiors finished to a standard that matches the architecture. Programmes run for months, and coordination with neighbours and the borough is part of the job.
The Norland, Holland Park and Royal Crescent conservation areas cover the district, and many of the villas are listed.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
RBKC decides applications. Detached villas are assessed on their setting within the conservation area, and roof extensions and side additions are tightly controlled.
Basements
Large plots make basements possible but the borough's single-storey, half-garden limit still applies, with a full impact assessment.
Listed studio houses
The Melbury Road studio houses are listed; internal changes need listed building consent and specialist heritage input.
