Spear’s Review
‘A skilled and stable team – with excellent relationships with contractors and the supply chain – means much more than nice CGIs,’ says Kees van der Sande, director at Formation Architects, a architecture firm specialising in projects in the global prime residential sector. The company has won notable contracts in prime central London, including The Glebe development and the Powerhouse in Chelsea, as well as projects in the Middle East, the US and Asia.
‘There is a thirst for good design in London,’ van der Sande tells Spear’s. He notes a particular trend towards entertaining spaces in houses where families can host large groups at home.
The key to his success? Van der Sande credits his team’s depth of experience, which ensures precision, adherence to timelines and client satisfaction. ‘We are a safe pair of hands when it comes to designing and delivering such complicated, curated and personal projects.’
