Upon buying my new home in St Johns Wood, my hunt for a stellar design firm led me to ADOVA's Instagram. The captivating designs instantly drew me in. After talking to a few local companies, I was convinced that ADOVA was the perfect fit. Their expertise shone through as they re-envisioned the entire interior architecture of my house, including the kitchen and bathrooms. Beyond just design, the construction phase was seamlessly executed. Every detail was handled with care, and the full refurbishment they undertook has utterly transformed my space.

Now, my home resonates with a blend of elegance and functionality. I'm genuinely thrilled with ADOVA's work and would be happy to recommend them.

It was a pleasure working with ADOVA. From start to finish, (we first hired them as our architect and then contractor) they were professional, reliable, and efficient. They arrived on time for all of the scheduled appointments, and they were able to complete the project within the agreed-upon timeframe. The quality of their work was excellent, and they made sure to clean up after themselves each day. They were also very easy to communicate with and were always willing to answer any questions we had.

Our house is now a home and we get plenty of comments every time we host - we couldn't be happier.

I had a superb experience working with them. ADOVA were appointed initially during the pre-construction phase to design the interior architecture of my new home in Belgravia; they were able to design the layout I wanted and then I decided to work with them further on obtaining the necessary permissions, interior design, joinery etc. They went to tender while I was travelling and worked well with the chosen builder throughout the works.

We have worked with Dharmesh and his team on several projects over the past 3 years.

They have consistently been very creative, very professional and always delivered a unique vision to the projects.

I would highly recommend them to any client and I look forward to working with them on many more projects in the future.

I commissioned Adova last year to redesign and deliver my new home, a terraced house I had purchased in Belgravia, London. They completed every aspect of the design, acquired the necessary consents and completed the entire build. The project was completed on time and to an excellent finish.

They made the process so incredibly easy as I didn't have to appoint multiple professionals and with a single point of contact for the entire project, working with Adova has undoubtedly saved me time, money and stress. I have been abroad for the majority of the project but I was constantly kept up to date.

Having worked with Dharmesh for nearly two years on this project and speaking to him every other day, I have no hesitation in recommending Adova and the team to anyone who is looking for a straight-forward, no nonsense, seamless service.

Dharmesh was extremely professional , diligent, reassuring and knowledgeable throughout our experience working with him.
We wanted to combine two lateral flats in Kensington to create a large three bedroom flat. This required planning permission , building control and a license to alter application and his advice and suggestions always gave us the confidence that we were dealing with someone who really knew the ins and outs of license to alter applications. In addition to his timely communication he is also a very resourceful guy who can find you the tradesmen/professionals you need as and when you need them on short notice. Very happy and pleased with his service and charges overall and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an expert in altering property, dealing with councils and estate management compa

Adova was recommended to me by a friend and I appointed them to completely redesign a flat I had purchased for my son in Chelsea.

The design was fantastic as my son was very pleased and they obtained all the necessary consents and kept the building management at bay throughout construction.

The project did take much longer than expected but this was due to delays in obtaining the freeholder's consent for the alterations; Bottom line is I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adova to anyone who's looking for a team to take the stress away from their project, especially if you don't live in London while the works are taking place.

Adova were appointed as the principal designer in the full refurbishment of our lateral apartment in Mayfair, which included structural alterations. The whole team is incredibly passionate and diligent, which is why they were then appointed to manage the construction.

They were appointed in May 2017 and were given an extremely healthy budget. Adova acquired all of the necessary consents and completed the works last week; we moved in on Thursday and are delighted with the results.

I would happily recommend Adova; Their contacts and the professional team they bring to the table made the project move swiftly and complete on budget.

Total refurbishment of a grade 2-listed terraced house in Bayswater, including extending the ground floor. Full design and construction management.

I had a great experience working with Dharmesh and his team from the day he visited me at the property after I'd just completed the purchase. As I travel often for business, their online project management system (Podio) really helped me feel involved in the project from start to finish.

Adova's fees are higher than most but I got my money's worth.

Thanks again!

ADOVA was appointed to completely redesign and build my London flat, which included a full strip out and a complete alteration of the internal layout. Services included architectural design, interior design, joinery, kitchen design and manufacturing along with procurement.

They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish especially during the difficult process of acquiring freeholder consent - their skill in handling a potentially explosive situation was masterful and I cannot thank them enough.

The team were never short of ideas and you can see they enjoy what they do.

Thanks again.

ADOVA were appointed by myself to acquire all the necessary consents for some internal alterations as well as a roof & ground floor extension for our new home in Chelsea. Our home is in a conservation area, which meant I wanted the best advice as acquiring the consents for the work we wanted to carry out was an absolute necessity. I met with Dharmesh at the property during the purchase process and we were in good hands from day one.

Our freeholder was particularly tricky and Dharmesh's skill in handling the situation in a calm and professional manner was masterful. I will say their fees are incredibly high compared to other quotes I received but you get the value you deserve.

Thank you Adova for your assistance with this project.

ADOVA was recommended to me by a close friend and they were appointed to completely redesign and reconfigure our new home, a maisonette in Primrose Hill.

The ideas that Aneeka brought forward would never have occurred to us - she was in full sync with us and our needs & their execution was flawless. Like my friend I highly recommend them.

My wife and I hired Adova to create an efficient floor plan so we could get the best use of our new flat in South Kensington. The flat isn't big in terms of square footage but it certainly feels a lot bigger thanks to Aneeka, our designer. She is extremely talented and helped us create a layout that makes the flat feel like a house!

We were incredibly impressed by their work on the layout that we appointed them to design the interior. Adova's style is classy, modern and bold without being too loud which we absolutely loved.

My wife appointed Adova in January to design the interior of our new home we had purchased in Chelsea after an initial consultation at our home with Dharmesh.

I appointed ADOVA to:

1) Reconfigure the current layout of our new home.
2) Design and extend to the rear on two floors along with a roof extension to create a bedroom suite.
3) Interior design.
4) Source and purchase everything.

Great team, designed a perfect home by understanding who we are (they interviewed every member of my family, including my 7 year old son) and always replied to any questions/queries within 24 hours (nearly always less unless it was a weekend).

I wanted to work with ADOVA because I loved their design style and I'm pleased to say I enjoyed the experience.

I initially appointed Adova in July 2015 for space planning.

I wanted to reconfigure my home in Hampstead to create more space to entertain without extending and I am extremely satisfied with the whole experience. I initially met with Dharmesh, the business development director and then I was appointed a designer (Aneeka) as the project moved forward.

They provided me with three floor plans, of which I choose one to further develop. I was given every opportunity to make any changes I wished until I gave final approval, however thanks to their creative and talented team I decided to move forward with the layout option they had provided.

Once the layout was finalised, I again appointed them to complete the necessary drawings for building control approval. They also liaised with the structural engineer to comply with building control, which was incredibly useful as I simply did not have the time to co-ordinate.

All communication during every stage was done through their online project management software, which I found to be easy to use and very familiar as it has the same layout/features as facebook. All drawings, notices, invoices etc. are stored online and accessible 24/7. The iPhone app is also great as I could comment on drawings etc. while on the go.

During construction, Aneeka was a phone call away if the contractor had any questions which was fantastic considering the nightmare stories I've heard from friends/neighbours. The contractor was also added to the online program which made communication incredibly clear & transparent, which made the process incredibly smooth.

What made me choose Adova over the companies I met with was the fact that they came to see me at my home (without charging me a fee), were incredibly knowledgable and I could see they were passionate about what they do. I would have no problem in recommending their work.
