Living room of a completed Lapunne home

Beautiful homes, properly led.

Lapunne brings architecture, interiors and project leadership together for private clients who want one trusted lead from the earliest idea through to completion.

Designing a home is only one part of delivering it.

Lapunne designs and leads significant private residential projects in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, from the earliest idea through to completion.

We lead the architecture, interiors, consultants, procurement and construction as one connected process, so our clients remain involved in the decisions that matter without having to manage the whole project themselves.

Our approach

One clear lead, from beginning to end

We establish the brief, design the architecture and interiors, coordinate the wider team and remain responsible through procurement, construction and handover.

Our clients shape the home. Lapunne holds the project together.

  1. 01   Discover

    Understanding you, the property or site and what the project has to achieve. Early advice, surveys, feasibility and a first view of budget and programme.

  2. 02   Plan

    Developing and testing the central architectural idea. Layout, massing, movement and daylight, explored against cost and planning.

  3. 03   Design

    Architecture, structure, services and interiors resolved together. Approvals progressed, and the information prepared that a builder needs to price and build.

  4. 04   Deliver

    Contractor selection, the building contract administered, and the site attended through to handover. Questions, changes and payments through one route.

How a project runs, in full

Ready by Completion

If you are buying a property that requires significant work, the period before exchange does not have to be lost.

With the seller’s cooperation, we can begin surveys, design, approvals and contractor preparation while the purchase progresses, so the project is further forward when the keys arrive.

From our notes

Thoughts on creating and delivering a home well, from the decisions worth making before design begins to the details that determine how a space feels to live in.

Read our notes

  1. Setting a renovation budget: what a contingency is actually for
  2. Extend, reconfigure, or move? How to decide before you spend anything
  3. Can you start design work on a house before you own it?

Tell us what you are considering.

You may have a site for a new home, a property that needs substantial change or a purchase currently progressing.

The first conversation is an opportunity to understand what you want to achieve, where you are in the process and whether Lapunne is the right practice to lead it.
