Currently Robert is working on an extension to my home in west London comprising of 2-storey extension, enlargement of detached garage, loft conversion and new contemporary glass porch. This is quite a bit of work and through close cooperation with Planners, Robert has secured full planning permission despite numerous objections. His design is innovative and effective and he is now moving forward with into Building Regs for "shell" construction followed by self managed fit out.

Q&As

Working with people and the creative process of designing architectural spaces and constructions that connect with the landscape.

15 years of working for internationally significant architects and artists including Sverre Fehn and Renzo Piano gave me the confidence to start my practice. The company name was changed to Cura Design in 2021 to reflect its growth towards projects that connect with nature.

Clients benefit from a background and knowledge of high end design combined with years of getting projects done on time and to budget.
Clients come to Cura Design looking for a designer who is sensitive to interpreting their aspirations and as well sensitive to the design and detailing of the building and the way this works with the landscape.

I can provide services online or remotely for most projects at the feasibility and planning stages of a project. Services are available at Building regulation and Construction phases though in order for the services to be efficent and effective online projects are required to have a construction budget above £400,000 to make this worthwhile for all involved.

This is on a case by case basis. Cura Design work remotely and via zoom or other online meeting platforms and can complete surveys and other on site tasks independently if required. All covid recommendatons are followed including masks.

Services

Planning permission feasibility studies or studies looking at cost and physical constraints. We also have a good deal of experience with listed building consent for residential and commercial projects.

Design with a focus on protecting and enhancing the existing biodiversity of the site. Biophilic design can utlize a "green plot ratio" to increase the amount of green space and animal and insect life on a plot of land from an additional 10% to 1000% of what the plot would have if no development was takng place. Biophilic design can connect Clients to nature as well for health and well being.

We specialize in architectural design in sensitive areas such as conservation areas, coastal areas and areas of outstanding natural beauty all of which require specific planning and design expertise.

We have also completed designs that include passivehaus detailing and fabric first technologies.
