Design and build in South Kensington.
South Kensington is museum terraces above and basements below. We design, price and build homes here.
01The area
What a South Kensington house asks for.
South Kensington sits around the museums, a short way from the studio in Fulham. Stucco terraces line most streets, four or five storeys, often split into flats.
A whole house is the rarer brief. When it comes, it tends to go deep. We delivered two new-build houses here, each with a triple basement.
South Kensington sits inside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Its basement policy, CL7, was adopted in January 2015. One storey only, and no more than half the garden.
South Kensington pricing is open book, on our own rate card. A budget estimate usually lands within a week.
