England’s considered private residences, built to endure.
A family-led English practice undertaking new-build country homes, the sensitive refurbishment of period properties, and substantial extension across Greater London and the Home Counties. In continuous private practice for three decades.
The practice
Quietly engaged upon England’s most discerning private commissions.
For three decades, MJ Design & Building has worked alongside private clients, country-house architects and family offices to realise residences of singular ambition. Our remit is narrow by design—new-build private homes, period-property refurbishment and substantial extension—and is delivered with the discretion such commissions properly require.
Many of our projects are undertaken under non-disclosure. References are furnished in confidence to qualified enquirers, and to their architects and surveyors, upon request.
A house is built but once. We treat every commission accordingly.

In our own words
Architecture is built by hand, by the men and women on site. Every other consideration follows from that one truth.
