Spear’s Review

Adrian Manea, co-founder of Manea Kella, designs homes that centre the client and their lifestyle, rather than adhere to a rigid house style. ‘Clients are drawn to our approach and how we make the final product look simple and effortless,’ he tells Spear’s.

Manea Kella works with private clients and developers, renovating and building homes in London and the Cotswolds. The studio’s holistic approach allows Manea to oversee projects from concept through to completion, and he often spends years with his clients developing their dream home.

While the firm offers interior design services, it also collaborates with well-known designers such as Sophie Ashby.

Manea is well experienced in creating properties that must hold their value for many years as a part of a wider investment portfolio. ‘It’s a home, but it’s also an asset,’ he says.
