Design & Build in Holland Park.
Design and build means we take responsibility for the whole project, from the first sketch to the day you move back in. There is one contract, one programme and one person to call, and the people who drew the scheme are in the same office as the people building it.
For a house or flat in Holland Park that covers the measured survey, concept and developed design, planning and building regulation drawings, the applications themselves, construction by our own site team, the kitchen and bathrooms we supply, joinery, decoration and handover with a guarantee on the work.
The advantage is simple: nothing falls between an architect, a planning consultant and a builder, because they are the same team. Problems are solved on the drawing board rather than on site, and the price and programme are set before work starts.

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.
Approvals for design and build in Holland Park.
All approvals are managed within the contract, so design, consent and construction run as one programme with one team responsible for each.
