Services
Architectural Design
We create bespoke architectural solutions for residential and commercial projects, from concept to completion. Our services include planning applications, building regulations, and construction management. The team specialises in new builds, extensions, and complex refurbishments, with particular expertise in historic properties and sustainable design. Clients benefit from our international experience across diverse regulatory environments.
Interior Design
Our interior design service covers full specification, procurement, and bespoke joinery. We integrate biophilic design principles and offer feng shui consultation. The team creates functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces tailored to client needs, with expertise in luxury residential and commercial environments. We manage product sourcing and coordinate with specialist trades throughout the project.
Historic Refurbishment
Specialist conservation work for listed buildings and historic properties, including planning and listed building consent applications. We balance preservation of architectural character with modern functionality, working within strict regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions. Our approach combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design solutions for heritage contexts.
Virtual Reality Visualisation
We use cutting-edge VR technology to create immersive design experiences, allowing clients to 'walk through' projects before construction. This enhances design clarity and decision-making, particularly for complex schemes or clients based abroad. The technology supports better spatial understanding and facilitates remote project collaboration.
Yacht Design
Specialist interior and exterior design for sailing and motor yachts, including layout planning and technical specifications. We provide full project management from concept to build, with expertise in marine equipment integration and luxury yacht interiors. Our service extends to advising on contractors and overseeing construction processes for bespoke marine projects.
