By Glenn Cavill, architectural designer
I am an architectural designer with a wealth of experience spanning some 15 years where I have worked for some of the top ranking architectural practices in the world.
During my career I have won international awards designing bespoke high-end homes across the globe for a variety of clientele with an ultimate goal of enhancing the way in which people interact with spaces where they spend most of their time.
I feel that architecture is not just about the aesthetic but it is about bringing all elements together which include such things as lifestyle, landscape, views, ambience and clients aspirations and dreams.
My starting point is to gather all the information on the site and a ‘wish list’ from the client that should include every idea and dream that the client wishes to fuse into their home. It is then through my creative talent and skill alongside my excellent spatial awareness that makes each project come together into a design which the client will in turn love to live in.
A home should be just that, ‘A home’. Architecture should not be something that you just stand back and look at, it should a fully interactive experience inside and out. It should be a place that fits your lifestyle, be it a luxury bachelor pad or a family home. Each element should be luxury, bespoke to the client, functional and economical in every sense, be it energy, sense of space and layout.
I have worked on a variety of homes from beach-front villa’s and city centre town houses to luxury country estates across the UK including the City of London, Jersey and internationally from Russia and Thailand to Africa across various continents. Projects can vary from luxury extensions and alterations to complete new builds.
No matter what projects we are designing we always aim to impress. We envision spaces that will inspire people, help them connect with one another and enrich the human experience. We do this by embracing the life, love, and diversity of architecture, landscape and people. Recognizing that every great design is the result of a combination of ideas. You’ll be surprised by what we can do for you.
