Architecture & construction,
under one roof.
Bespoke homes, designed and built by a single studio — concept to completion, one point of responsibility.
One team, accountable from the first idea to the final detail.
Lanesborough is a London design-and-build studio working at the rare intersection of architecture and construction. Most practices hand a drawing to a builder and hope. We do both — so the care in the drawing survives all the way to the finished wall. One studio, one contract, one point of responsibility.
“Detail is not decoration. It is the place where care becomes visible.” Hashim Zaman — Founder & CEO
A complete service, from first line to handover.
Four disciplines under one roof. We can take a project from a blank site to a finished, snagged home — or join you at any stage in between.

From drawing to dust to detail — the part of the process most studios never show you.
A studio that draws, details and builds — under one roof.
Lanesborough Design & Build was established in August 2023 as the sister studio to Lanesborough Homes Limited, extending the group from land and homes into a complete architectural design-and-build service. We hold a single line of responsibility from the first sketch to the final handover.
Our story & ethos →Why clients choose to design and build with one studio.
One studio, design → build
Design and construction under one roof. The hands that draw the detail are accountable for building it.
Single point of responsibility
One contract, one team, one number to call. No gap between architect and contractor for risk to hide in.
Considered, sustainable detailing
Low-energy fabric and materials chosen to age with grace, not date.
On time, on budget
Cost certainty from day one — the budget is fixed early and protected throughout, by the same team that draws and builds.
How we price — framed as confidence, not a quote form.
We are transparent about fees from the first conversation. Three models, depending on how you prefer to work.
Design fees by work stage
Fees mapped transparently to work stages 0–7, so you only commit to the next stage once the last has earned your confidence.
% of construction cost
A percentage of the agreed build cost — the conventional architect’s basis — aligning our fee with the scale and ambition of the project.
Fixed-fee design + measured build
Our preferred model: a fixed design fee and a measured, cost-controlled build under one contract — maximum cost certainty, single responsibility.
Every project begins with a feasibility conversation about brief and budget. Start your enquiry →
A structured process, from work stage 0 to 7.
Brief & Feasibility
We start with your brief, your budget and the site. A feasibility study tests what is achievable, what it should cost, and whether the project is worth committing to — before you spend on design.
Concept Design
The idea takes form. We develop the concept in plan, section and material, testing it against budget and planning context, until you can see and feel the building you are about to commission.
Planning
We build and submit the planning case — drawings, statements and the strategy behind them — and negotiate with officers through to a granted permission.
Technical Design
Every junction is resolved. We produce the construction information, Building Regulations package and specifications that make the design genuinely buildable, with cost locked in.
Build
Our construction team takes over — the same studio, one contract. We manage programme, cost and trades on site, with the team who drew it watching every detail.
Handover
We hand over a finished, snagged, fully documented building, and stay close through the first year of use — the period that proves the quality of the work.
Begin a
conversation.
Share a little about your project and we will arrange a considered first conversation — about brief, budget and feasibility. No obligation, and complete discretion.
One studio, one point of responsibility — from the first sketch to the final handover.
