Experience

We hold ourselves to the highest standards on every project we work on and employ experienced professionals who maintain membership with RIBA and ARB among others. We boast of wide-reaching experience on various building typologies, constraints and budgets and our built portfolio demonstrates the consistent and efficient delivery of these projects. We are renowned for achieving planning permission in difficult scenarios including for sites in the Green Belt, respective Conservation Area and when working with Grade I, II and II* listed properties.

Our team of professionals has gained planning permission for a multitude of clients and we have an extremely high success ratio with achieving planning for our clients. This encompasses ultra-contemporary new-build dwellings, replacement dwellings in the Green Belt, contentious schemes taken on from previous architectural firms who were often unable to deliver the required planning permission due to a breakdown in relationship or design decisions, subterranean extensions, listed townhouse restaurants off Regent Street, commercial offices in Berkeley Square, townhouses in Mayfair, among many others. We have secured planning permission and various letters of support from a multitude of bodies for prominent and prestigious buildings, including St Lawrence Church in West Wycombe – a Grade 1 listed church – which was rebuilt in 1763 by Sir Francis Dashwood, 11th Baron le Despencer and this was the first consent for an extension secured against it since work last took place in the 18th century.
