Light and Space to Thrive

“We own a property in North-West London and were going through a torturous ordeal of getting planning permission. XUL guided us through the entire process.

Now our home feels completely in tune with our lifestyle. When we have guests over, even in the basement with all the lights off, natural light comes flooding in. Psychologically, you just feel relaxed in the space.

"We looked at four different architects because we were unsure how much XUL had done in Hampstead Garden Suburb. Others were way behind in creativity and presentation. They saw things that others didn’t and saw the potential of the house."

"When as the owner of Greene and Co estate agents, I purchased a new HQ, I needed some clever work done to house and enthuse my team. We wanted a buzz about the whole thing and clever design to really enthuse our staff and clients. XUL did a great job re planning and design. Especially turning it around in a tight time period. The work was really appreciated and 100% delivered what was needed."

"We are grateful for your help as you completely understood what we were hoping to achieve."

"You have made the whole process easy to navigate, despite a pandemic, regardless of the outcome which you had warned us about."

"We are a small independent school based in Hampstead who have now had the pleasure of using XUL Architecture on two major building projects. I have found Sebastian and his team to be innovative in their approach to the design of our building; utilising spaces that we could not have imagined. They have taken a dowdy old building and given it a bright, modern contemporary feel."

"We looked at four different architects because we were unsure how much XUL had done in Hampstead Garden Suburb. Others were way behind in creativity and presentation. They saw things that others didn’t and saw the potential of the house. Turnaround time was also exceptional. If I had to do it all again, they would be my architects."

"I would like to thank the XUL team for all the good ideas for this old apartment that now looks amazing, it is even better than what we expected. XUL’s patience and listening were very much appreciated. Working with Sebastian and Yaiza was really a pleasure, since they always tried their best to meet our expectations, even if they were different from what they had in mind. They let us get involved in the project, as much as we wanted to be, always being there for advice, and good advice at that!"

"We needed more room for our growing family but didn’t want to move out of our neighbourhood. XUL conceived and brought to life a dream home. XUL’s highly skilled team helped us through every step of the process and the results were transformational! Our once smallish house now feels spacious, light and elegant."

"Attention to detail in the connection and thesis between the extension of the house and the use of glass is found successful in performing both as a connection to the bulk of the house and also letting in beautiful light. Light is generally very well manipulated."

"Right from the initial stages, our lead architect, with support from the XUL team, applied their creativity, pro-active approach, diligence and attention to detail, to the project. They balanced aesthetics and functionality to create bright living spaces that made the most of the deep but narrow footprint typical of a Victorian house. We are very happy with our finished house, and love the flow, the light and 'live-ability' of the design."

"The XUL team were tremendous. Highly creative, original, but practically minded, they were extremely professional in managing the whole process. They are highly organised and great fun to work with."

"XUL were an outstanding partner to our ambitious, and often daunting renovation project. XUL provided excellent design advice, in particular in relation to opportunities to add sources of light to an otherwise dark house. The result continues to delight us and we consider ourselves fortunate to have found such an excellent firm."
