Holland Park villas stand back from the road, many semi-detached. Their gardens are bigger than most in the borough. That gives a designer real room.

A pair of villas reads as one composition. Adding to one half must not unbalance the other. Important gaps between buildings should stay open.

Some villas are listed. Consent then reaches inside. Nothing may be dug beneath the house or its vaults.

The borough also names a Holland Park critical drainage area. Surface water is planned from the first sketch.

We have not built in Holland Park yet. Our nearest work is two new Kensington houses, in the same borough.

What architectural design costs in Holland Park.

Architecture is priced per project, once the brief is clear.

A villa with a garden is a larger commission than a single flat.

Can I extend one half of a pair of Holland Park villas?

Sometimes, with care. The borough guards the symmetry of a group.

Important gaps between villas should stay open.

Can a listed Holland Park villa have a basement?

Not beneath it. No dig is allowed under a listed building, vaults included.

Part of the garden may take one, within Policy CD11.

Why does surface water matter in a Holland Park design?

The borough names a Holland Park critical drainage area.

So drainage is designed early, alongside the plan.
