NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle design and build in Holland Park W11, under one contract. The calculator gives your own range in a minute, by scope and finish. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Holland Park is villas more than terraces. Many are semi-detached, in stucco or brick, set behind front gardens. The houses are big, often 5,000 sq ft and more.
So the garden room, lower ground and basement all come into play. A brief here usually covers the whole villa, every floor at once.
Our architectural designers draw it, with ARB-registered architects we partner with. Matt Coverley, our in-house quantity surveyor, prices it openly as the drawings grow. Tree surveys, drainage and consents are handled inside the same contract.
We have not built in Holland Park yet. Our nearest work sits in the same borough. Two new houses in Kensington W8, a Chelsea townhouse, and a Chelsea terrace.
What the borough asks of a Holland Park villa.
- Council
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The western edge meets the next borough, so we confirm it.
- Setting
- Front gardens, boundary walls and roof lines are judged closely in the conservation area.
- Listed villas
- Some are listed. Consent then reaches inside, and no dig goes under the house.
- Basements
- CD11 permits one storey, beneath half the garden at most, the rest kept whole.
- Trees
- Valued trees must not be lost or threatened. A full tree survey goes in.
- Drainage
- The borough names a Holland Park critical drainage area. Sustainable drainage is required.

Further reading, from the journal
Can one contract cover a whole Holland Park villa?
Yes. Design, cost and construction sit in one agreement.
Every floor is drawn and priced together.
Will mature trees shape a Holland Park design?
Often. The borough resists losing valued trees.
A tree survey and protection plan go in with the application.
Can a listed Holland Park villa gain a lower floor?
Not beneath the house itself.
A separate structure under the garden may sometimes be possible.
Is Holland Park prone to surface water?
Parts are. The borough names a critical drainage area there.
Sustainable drainage is designed in from the start.
Has NU built in Holland Park already?
Not yet. Our nearest work is two new houses in Kensington W8.
Our Chelsea houses sit in the same borough.
