CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS

This homage of ours to Pitshill House in West Sussex is an all-time favourite of our Directors Philip and Harrison. Their view is it is one of the most beautiful country homes ever built.   Constructed in 1794 this Grade II* listed house is built in neoclassical style. At the heart of the landscape sits a stately manor that echoes the precise, mathematical symmetry central to Palladian design. Its crisp, ashlar facade features a distinct central projecting bay capped with a prominent classical pediment. Along with its tall evenly spaced sash windows the building’s strongly reflects the 18th-century British enthusiasm with Andrea Palladio’s architectural principles.   With a reflecting pool reflecting the strict symmetry of the facade, the misty trees and the golden morning sky, beautifully amplifying the homes stately presence. The grounds feature a seamless transition from the rigid geometry of the house to the natural landscape. Directly in front of the building are manicured terraced lawns, low hedges, and precise, spherical topiary, which gently give way to the sweeping, open parkland. visuals by @syniva.ai
John talks through the importance of integrating a new extension with the existing building, rather than allowing it to feel like an afterthought. The starting point is always the original architecture. Every building has its own character, from the proportions of its windows to the materials, detailing and overall rhythm of the façade. When those elements are properly understood, they give you a clear direction for how an extension should be approached.
Craft. Space & Time.
John explains part of the early construction process, focusing on the structural work happening below ground level. Circular concrete columns are drilled around 10 metres into the ground, forming the foundations of the build. Once in place, the surrounding earth is excavated to create what becomes a concrete box, the base structure that everything else will sit on.
This doorway is a perfect example of why symmetry doesn’t always have to be followed slavishly. The left-hand side sash windows help turn the corner and provide dual aspect windows to the room to maximise views out into the corner of the garden. The entrance is crowned by a prominent, closed triangular pediment finished in stepped leadwork, supported by a simplified entablature consisting of an unadorned pulvinated frieze and a stepped architrave. Directly below, a segmental fanlight bridges the doors and the pediment. This fanlight features a classic radiating sunburst pattern formed by slender mullions. Looking into the guest wing beyond an enfilade neatly arranges the doorway and the front window beyond, strengthening the connection to the bedroom and creating a greater impression of space.

Steel reinforcing bars, shaped, cut and tied together on site to form the framework of a reinforced concrete beam. Each section is set out to the engineer’s exact specification before concrete is poured over the top, combining the tensile strength of steel with the compressive strength of concrete. Every measurement matters at this stage, because once it’s cast, it’s there to stay.
John has spent the last 30 years building a supplier network who care about quality, detail, and getting it right first time. From hand-selecting marble in person to sourcing heritage mouldings, it’s about making the right choices early on, because those decisions shape everything that follows. #londonarchitecture #architects
We love a stunning kitchen. Kitchens matter to families for much more than just cooking; they’re often the emotional and practical ‘centre’ of the home. Families naturally gather in the kitchen. Whether it’s chatting while dinner cooks or grabbing a quick snack, it creates everyday moments to talk, bond, and stay connected. This kitchen, in our home Wildwood is by @blakesldn Project led by DGA Directors John Dyer Grimes, John Rookyard & Jakub Skalimowski.
Our interior designers at @gordondufflinton created this artistic visualisation to show exactly how the finished room will look and now we’re into the first stage of making it real. The carcasses are in, the steel bedhead reinforcement is set for the floating design, and we’re preparing the air conditioning slot to keep everything sleek and hidden. The goal is a hotel-style finish, where every detail works without interrupting the look. #InteriorDesign #BespokeInteriors #luxuryliving
As with all our projects, the style of the interior design of our new-build house in Harpenden from 2024 is moulded to our client’s particular preferences. We involve our clients every step of the way. Every project we undertake is a reflection of the people we design for. We take the time to understand each client’s tastes, vision, and lifestyle, allowing these elements to shape every decision; from layout and materials to the smallest finishing details. Rather than imposing a signature style, we adapt and evolve our approach, ensuring that each space feels personal, functional, and truly aligned with how our clients live. The result is not just a beautifully designed interior, but a space that feels authentically theirs and one they feel they have designed Project led by DGA director Philip Jones-Lloyd Contractor: @motacusconstructions QS: @eleyquantitysurveying
Excavation work is well underway in Richmond where our team is delivering a £2.6m new-build residential project in partnership with @thamesandnewcastle We’re maximising space on this narrow plot, creating a circa 200 square feet basement. This specialist work is being carried out by our in-house team to seamlessly integrate the basement construction into the wider programme. Project led by DGA directors John Dyer Grimes, Matthew Parratt & Associate Jakub Skalimowski. #londonconstruction #londonhomes #luxuryhome #luxuryhomes #basements
When it comes to basements, waterproofing is a key component to the build. The last thing you want after building a brand new home is a damp, unusable space. That’s why we install a drained cavity membrane system. The concrete structure itself is waterproof, but we plan for the reality that tiny cracks can still let moisture through over time. So we line the interior with a specialist membrane, similar to what you’d find in a swimming pool. Any moisture that gets in is controlled, channelled into drainage, and pumped away. The result is a basement that stays dry and properly ventilated. #BasementBuild #Waterproofing #ConstructionDetail #luxuryhomes
