Architectural Prestige in London Contact: Marco Braghiroli Company: Prestige Architects Web Address: https://www.prestigearchitects.co.uk/ The story of Prestige Architects starts with Marco Braghiroli, a seasoned architect whose work in the field spans more than three decades. After working for a range of architecture firms on a host of dynamic projects, Marco felt the time was right for him to establish his own firm. Founding Prestige Architects in mid-2009, the firm is the culmination of Marco’s industry-leading expertise and creative freedom, with him and his team having helped create exquisite homes both in London and all over the world. Central to the success of Prestige Architects is its full-service approach, which sees high-net-worth-individuals and affluent families alike joined on their projects by a network of industry professionals comprising everything from planning officials to interior designers. More than doing its part to support the process, the firm offers a comprehensive architecture service that sees its team manage every element of a project or a build flawlessly, from the initial brief to the final design and well beyond. Moreover, whether they already own the property or are seeking to buy with the intention of renovating or reconfiguring, Marco and the team happily share their advice, working towards the creation of a client’s aspirational residence from the very beginning of their time with the team here. This commitment can be seen on a daily basis, reflected in the firm’s aim of rising to the top of the mountain and becoming London’s premier architecture practice, without ever sacrificing the personal touch clients have come to expect. With Prestige Architects’ uniquely personal approach to boot, Marco and co. are able to far surpass the level of service offered by more traditional architecture firms, with their ability to go the extra mile stemming from one simple shared trait – they care. By treating every single project as if it were their own home, the team ride the inevitable emotional rollercoaster that comes as standard with any project, and the sheer joy of a client finally moving in serves as the icing on the cake of a meticulously executed job. Prestige Architects’ consistent excellence is ultimately what keeps its clients coming back time and again for these tailored services, with many even hiring Marco and the team to work on their other residences abroad. Thus, from summer houses on the beach to ski chalets high up in the mountains, examples of the firm’s work can be found dotted throughout Europe and beyond, this as a result of its incredibly successful 80% client return rate. Given the sheer diversity of the projects it has been able to work on over the past 16 years, it should come as no surprise to learn that Prestige Architects has only continued to improve, in everything from Marco’s attention to detail to the increasingly effective coordination of the teams he works with. His passion continues to burn bright, particularly when it comes to working on Grade II* buildings, which have become somewhat of a speciality for the team as a result of their complexity and striking beauty. Having recently completed projects such as the total refurbishment of a house in Kensington and a Grade II townhouse near Chelsea’s Sloane Square, the team are excited to start work on a host of new developments, including a Grade II* country house and stable block as well as the redevelopment of a listed building in St. James. Excitingly, the team also have a couple of international projects in the pipeline in Italy, namely the turning of a former fortress into a spa and a new build home with a pool. Leveraging a wellbeing approach to architecture across all of the projects it has coming up, a shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly materials and practices ensures Prestige Architects is continuing to design projects that not only respect the environments they are in, but which complement them no end. This commitment, combined with Marco’s stellar leadership and his team’s steadfast dedication to quality, have led to this title.
