Christopher David Design is amongst the top home renovation companies in London, creating elegant, inviting homes across the capital and throughout the South East.
As specialists in London renovations, we believe it’s important to recognise the architectural history and character so abundant in our local areas. We feel the strongest of connections to the artisan roots and old masters of our craft. And we appreciate that, as residential architectural designers, our clients entrust us to create their most personal living spaces.
By applying thoughtful planning practices and intuitive design expertise, we aim to enhance what is already special and beloved about a home, and elevate it to the standards of vibrant modern living.
Our visionary approach to house renovation balances respect for the existing merits of a home with elements of innovation, improvement and opportunity. With both rejuvenation and elevation in mind, we ultimately create an extraordinary space with subtle layers of richness and nuance.
As a multidisciplinary architecture, interior and landscape design studio, we can assist with all stages of the design and build process. From concept and planning to sourcing, site management and delivery, our project management expertise enhances the client experience and ensures the design vision is interpreted as intended, for an inspired result.
Christopher David Design is a luxury residential architecture studio that renovates and refurbishes extraordinary homes to an exceptional standard. When clients engage Christopher David Design to design and manage their property renovation, the experience is highly personalised and meticulously managed from start to finish. We ensure that clients who entrust their projects to us are delighted with their results.
Beginning with our studio’s signature, in-depth interview process, we seek to deeply understand each client’s needs, preferences and lifestyle. At the same time, we thoroughly investigate and analyse the structural, functional, technical and contextual considerations associated with their home and its surroundings, establishing a personalised concept and plan for their home renovation project.
Christopher David Design offers a turnkey solution for London property renovations, with a wealth of expertise and experience across architecture, interior design, landscape design and project management.
When embarking on a property renovation, we use every opportunity to re-think and improve the space. All aspects of the fabric of the building are considered, from heritage and location to the flow of the space and the curation of materials and finishes. We find ways to highlight the building’s existing features and re-introduce traditional artisan techniques, whilst adding in sympathetic modern enhancements. This balance and juxtaposition bring the architecture alive for a rich result with layers of personality, practicality and presence.
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.
