The architects and designers at Christopher David Design create luxury new build homes in London and throughout the South East – some of the most beautiful and desirable areas to live in the United Kingdom.
The team at Christopher David Design feature a wealth of expertise and experience across the disciplines of architecture, interior design, landscape design and project management. We meticulously design, inviting homes to the most exacting standards – meeting the needs and exceeding the expectations of the most discerning clients.
As a luxury residential architecture and interior design studio, creating homes that serve as a backdrop for exceptional lives is at the heart of what we do. The new build homes we create are not only lovely to look at, but feel luxuriously comfortable and welcoming to live in. Each environment perfectly caters to the client’s vision, whether that’s a spacious, elegant home for raising a family, a dignified, refined refuge for retirement, or a striking pied-à-terre.
We draw inspiration not only from the lifestyle and dreams of our clients, but from the rich history of architecture as an artisan discipline. Inspired residential architecture has the potential to elevate everyday life to an art form, and our work celebrates that.
Customised to their wishes, ideal for their needs, reflective of their dreams… When clients engage Christopher David Design for luxury new build architectural design, the experience is entirely bespoke from inspired start to impeccable finish.
Our comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to residential architecture is completely personalised and highly adaptable. Every aspect of our process is expertly curated and meticulously executed to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of the most discerning homeowners.
As new house architects, our vision must reflect a considered balance between an appreciation for any existing context and the opportunity to embrace opportunities for innovation and a fresh perspective – along with, first and foremost, the client’s tastes and requirements. A complex brief, but with exciting potential for a wonderful outcome – a remarkable home that’s both integral and distinctive to the local surroundings and the lifestyle of the homeowner.
Naturally, our process begins by exploring a client’s preferences and practical needs, inspirations and aspirations – how they live, and how they want to feel in their home. What home means to each client is highly personal; lifestyle is a form of individual, creative expression. The deep level of understanding we aim for in these first conversations helps intuitively establish a creative vision – which will carry the project through from initial ideas and concept sketches, to design and planning, to implementation and completion.
Whilst we fully embrace the potential of technology to enhance the design process, we believe that the architecture of a home is first and foremost an art form. We always begin designing with traditional visualisation – first sketching concepts by hand, in keeping with the tactile, artistic origins of our craft.
We share these bespoke concept sketches and initial layouts with clients from their earliest stages, establishing a strong foundation of rapport from the very beginning. We continue to collaborate as the design develops, deepening trust and understanding over time.
We take great care and pride in our craft, from the first line drawn, to the final, finishing touches – offering our clients a full range of architectural services from design and planning to interiors and landscape design.
Along the way, we collaborate with a trusted network of artisans, tradespeople and craftspeople to deliver a richly layered, harmonious home. We’ve built an abundant network of relationships with contractors, consultants and collaborators from innovative lighting designers to artisan cabinet makers – allowing for the creation of a home that’s cohesive and beautiful in every detail.
We believe in being hands-on through all stages of the process from concept to completion, until a client is settled and comfortable in their new home – and even beyond. We liaise directly with builders, trades and other consultants, expecting the unexpected and ensuring that the creative vision is interpreted as intended. Our meticulous, experienced, expert project management means that clients truly enjoy the design journey, with exceptional results.
