Residential architects in Kensington

NU Projects is a residential architecture, design and project management firm. We work across the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Most of our work is on period, listed and historic homes. They are in Kensington, Chelsea, Holland Park and Notting Hill. Our architects work to the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) plan of work. It sets out what has to be resolved at each stage. Only then does the next one begin.

At NU Projects, we follow the comprehensive RIBA processes. We do so throughout the entire lifecycle of your project. It runs from initial design and planning applications to complete delivery of the build. Our experienced team of residential architects diligently follows the RIBA stages. They include:

1. Stage 0: Strategic Definition. We work closely with you to understand your requirements, aspirations, and project objectives.
2. Stage 1: Preparation and Brief. We develop a detailed brief for the project. It captures your vision, preferences, and functional requirements.
3. Stage 2: Concept Design. Our residential architects create initial design concepts that reflect your vision. They also propose innovative solutions.
4. Stage 3: Developed Design. We refine the design, incorporating your feedback. We develop it further with detailed drawings, material selection, and technical specifications.
5. Stage 4: Technical Design. We produce comprehensive technical drawings and specifications. These ensure compliance with building regulations and other statutory requirements.
6. Stage 5: Construction. Our project management team oversees the construction phase. It coordinates contractors and suppliers and ensures quality control.
7. Stage 6: Handover and Close Out. We assist with the final inspections, certifications, and handover of the completed project. We ensure all necessary documentation is provided.

Under the RIBA stages, the design is settled before the price is fixed. The price is then fixed before the site starts. See completed residential architecture in the project portfolio. Or tell us about your own house. Our 12-stage process maps the RIBA stages onto a design and build contract.
