Design & Build in Marylebone.

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 Marylebone 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.

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.
