30
Practice directors Chris Pask and Jo Maudsley have worked together for over 30 years and are part of a team of 30 passionate architects and designers.
NW3
The practice was founded in the mid-80s in Hampstead in north-west London. The practice built a strong local reputation which led to recommendations from project managers, developers, estate agents and private clients. We now work across London and the UK.
Architecture & Interior Design
We offer the complete range of architectural and interior design services, from feasibility and planning to delivery. Our focus is high quality residential design, be it new buildings or sensitive heritage projects. We enjoy new challenges too.
Unique Design Responses
For us, each project requires its own solution. Each project has its own client, design brief, budget and timeframe - each of our designs is a unique response. This may be the restoration of a listed building with contemporary additions; mid-century interior design; a Passivhaus; or a new Palladian-style country house.
Underlying high-quality design is the management of a complex process. We utilise our experience and our well-established management tools to control budget and timeframe.
Feasibility & Planning Know-How
We advise on the development potential of a site, quickly.
We have a track-record of maximising potential and value through our planning expertise. We often succeed where others have failed.
Making It Happen
The construction of a project requires another skillset. Design detail, exacting technical standards, and thorough coordination with the design team.
We enjoy working with new people and also have a network of trusted consultants with whom we work regularly. We can put together your team if required.
We can provide a turn-key service or act as consultants providing architectural or interior design services or often both.
Scale
We are passionate about high quality design regardless of scale. Typical budgets for bespoke homes range from £1m to £15m.
Sustainability and PRIME
At Charlton Brown Architects, we strive to produce buildings of the highest quality, this includes their performance and impact throughout their lifecycle. It requires a holistic approach that encompasses every building element — from design, materials and construction, to energy resources and technology. Our aim is to design and deliver buildings that are built to last and improve our quality of life.
We have therefore joined PRIME, a collective of likeminded people in our industry, ensuring we aspire for the highest standards in all that we do. It is our intention that six simple Principles will come, in time, to form the foundation upon which our practice is built on.
Those Principles are:
1) Being Environmentally Better;
2) Embracing Sustainable Innovation;
3) Spreading the Word;
4) Delivering Impact;
5) Making a Difference; and
6) Being Accountable.
We have started to look at ways that we can act upon these intentions, and we endeavor to subscribe for our first Official PRIME Score in order to publish our own progress against these aspirations.
