About Us
Creating the Vision…
Peter Luke draws on a long career working internationally and locally in the fields of architecture, high-end interiors, super yacht design and furniture to offer you specialist residential architectural services.
Designing the perfect living environment requires sensitivity to individual taste and a strong understanding of ergonomics and practicality. Peter Luke Designworks has an established record for designing houses and apartments that have gone on to achieve record resale prices owing to their high level of appeal. Peter describes his style as ‘classical minimalism’ by combing the character of the traditional styling typical to British homes and refining them for modern living with clean lines and optimised innovative layouts.
He is meticulous when it comes to detail where every space becomes functional, nothing is wasted, storage is enhanced, spaces open out. His work has been described as “extraordinary, I would never have believed this transformation unless I had seen it”.
An initial consultation is offered free of charge to discuss the potential for each client’s project, followed by a written proposal and estimate of costs.
Each process from initial briefing, concept drawings, planning applications, party wall agreements, structural engineers, selection of builders and site supervision is explained and costed to provide a clear understanding of what is involved.
