About the practice

The practice emphasis is on high quality design in all styles, Gothic as well as Classical. The Principal has a Ph.D. in Architectural History, has held the Rome Scholarship and received research awards from the RIBA, British Academy and Delmas Foundation. The practice specializes in work to Listed Buildings from all epochs. It also undertakes interior design work, including the design of furniture. The practice has worked in conjunction with leading interior designers, such as Didier Aaron, Paris. The practice also undertakes garden and landscape design. Projects are principally in central London, the Home Counties and extend to France, Italy and Switzerland. Significantly, over the past 20 years every single Planning/Listed Building Consent Application the practice has made has been granted. Emphasis is placed on finding the right contractors, so enabling projects to be delivered on time and on budget, to an uncompromisingly high standard. Designs are predominantly for private houses, but include hotel, night-club, institution buildings, industrial; and even follies. Clients include private individuals, academic/professional bodies, Limited Companies and PLCs. As an Expert Witness (Associate Member of the Academy of Experts) the practice has been successfully involved with Public Enquiry work. A central tenet of the practice is that ‘traditional/Classical’ architecture need not be the preserve of the political right.
