Profile
Stanhope Gate Architecture and Urban Design Ltd specialise in new
build, master planning and refurbishment of substantial private
houses, villas and apartments, listed and historic buildings as
well as hotel and resort projects in the UK and abroad.
The working philosophy of the practice revolves around the guiding
principles and innate wisdom of Classical and Vernacular architecture
with traditional urbanism providing the right context.
It is our firm belief that architecture and building in the contemporary
condition are inseparable from the fabric of tradition. At the same
time we view tradition as thoroughly alive and extremely changeable.
The creation of a sense of place and imbuing the built form with
human scale, the quality of the architecture and detail as well
as the relationship between the craft of building and art of architecture
remains the focus of every one of our projects.
Recent commissions in the UK and abroad include, residences in Hampstead,
the restoration and refurbishment of a grade I listed embassy in
Belgravia; substantial grade II listed residences on the Cadogan
and Grosvenor estates, Knightsbridge and St John's Wood. In the
commercial sector the practice is involved in refurbishment of an
office building in Mayfair, master plan and design for a new resort
on the Danube Delta, a new residential complex in Bucharest, reconstruction
of a private estate in Spain and new villas in Vence in the south
of France.
Located in central London, the office is managed by the Principal,
architectural and administrative staff and is equipped with the
latest CAD software and electronic specification writing tools and
document systems. Our management approach entails the involvement
of the Principal and project assigned architects to each and every
project to ensure a high level of service and attention to our clients
at every stage of the process from design to on site contract administration.
