Architecture

Our philosophy is a holistic one and our in-house technical and architectural expertise allows us to manage every detail of our projects to ensure the essence and quality of our concept reaches the construction phase.

Wherever in the world, we can provide architectural services for a wide breadth of projects – from new builds to Listed buildings, luxury villas to penthouses. Our team can work with you to design your dream property, tailoring the experience every step of the way.

We will assess the architectural style of the building and work out what can/should be retained without compromising on the client’s design vision. The best results come through collaboration, communication and attention to detail. By working together, the architects and interior designers at Rive Gauche London can create spaces that are not only luxurious, but also practical, innovative, and sustainable. 

Planning Permission

Our experienced architectural team have worked in a multitude of global locations and gained in-depth knowledge of local markets – particularly prime central London. Our understanding of planning and conservation regulations ensures that we can secure planning and Listed building consent, if required, as swiftly as possible. Where you are required to fulfil statutory conditions throughout construction, we will manage this process for you.

Architectural Concept

We develop our architectural designs to complement our interiors whilst respecting the local context and statutory requirements. Our philosophy is a holistic one; we cover every element, ensuring that there is a sense of harmony throughout. We carefully select our external finishes so that our designs meet the highest performance standards technically as well as being aesthetically beautiful.

Technical Architecture

Our in-house team covers almost all of the technical and design expertise you will need on your project, allowing us to manage every detail and smoothy delivery of our projects to the highest technical standards. Where additional specialist expertise is required, such as mechanical consultants or right of light knowledge, we call on trusted experts that we know will deliver the best quality service.

Construction Coordination and Quality Control

We keep a forensic check on quality and timing throughout a project, thanks to our extensive technical and project management expertise. This is especially critical during the construction phase. Our team leads the coordination of every detail, liaising with the consultants and specialists involved in the project.

Featured Case Study

After acquiring a Grade II listed apartment in central London, an international investor faced a dual challenge. He wanted to maximise return on his investment but didn’t have the time or expertise to project manage the development himself. It is this requirement that made Rive Gauche such a perfect fit for the project. We are compact and agile enough to provide the required personal service, but with the expert knowledge to deliver a turnkey development from concept to completion that exceeds expectation.
