Renovating a Notting Hill home, what the work involves

What a Notting Hill renovation involves, from the stucco front to the rear return. The planning, the sequence and the finishes.

Notting Hill is built largely of stucco townhouses, most of them in a conservation area. Behind those painted façades are houses that need careful project management as much as craftsmanship, because almost nothing about them can be changed without an argument about the elevation.

A complete design and build service in Notting Hill

NU Projects offers a fully integrated architecture, interior design and construction service. One team runs the project from concept and planning through to handover, which means one version of the drawing, the cost and the programme.

Our work in Notting Hill often includes:

  • Full home refurbishments modernising period properties while preserving their original character.
  • Basement developments creating valuable additional living space for gyms, cinemas, or wine rooms.
  • Rear and side extensions opening up family living space and connecting it to the garden.
  • Interior design bespoke joinery, layered lighting, and timeless material palettes crafted for each client.

Detail and delivery

From the first measured survey to the final snagging, the architects, the designers and the tradespeople work to the same drawings, so the detail that was drawn is the detail that gets built.

That shows up in the things nobody points out. Mitres that close. Marble veining that runs through a joint rather than stopping at it. Lighting circuits that let a room be one thing in the morning and another in the evening.

Local knowledge

Our studio is in Fulham, a short run from Notting Hill, Holland Park and Kensington. NU Projects has been delivering work across W11, W8 and SW3 since 2010.
