Architectural & Interior Design in Marylebone.

Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Marylebone 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.

Marylebone: the houses and the planning rules.

Marylebone is where Space Cucina started, as a kitchen company on Seymour Place. The district is a grid of Georgian and early Victorian streets laid out by the Portman and Howard de Walden estates: flat-fronted brick terraces, stucco around the squares, mews houses behind, and the great mansion blocks of Marylebone Road and Baker Street.

Most of the housing is now flats, from mansion-block apartments to lateral conversions across two houses, which makes refurbishment here as much about approvals and logistics as about design: licences to alter, estate consent, parking suspensions and lift access all shape the programme. We have refurbished bathrooms on Marylebone Road and fitted kitchens for clients across the district.

The Portman Estate, Harley Street and Dorset Square conservation areas cover almost all of it.

Westminster City Council

Applications go to Westminster. Almost the whole district is within conservation areas, and many terraces are Grade II listed, so internal changes to listed houses need listed building consent.

Estate consent

On the Portman and Howard de Walden estates, the freeholder's own approval is needed in addition to planning, with their own design guidance for windows, roofs and rear elevations.

Mansion flats

Block rules govern working hours, deliveries and noise. We plan the programme around them and coordinate with the managing agent.
