Meet Me

Hi, I’m Anil.

Architecture has always been more than a profession to me—it has been a lifelong passion. Growing up in the East Midlands, I was surrounded by opportunities to explore creativity, spending countless hours drawing, making, and understanding how things were put together. During school and university holidays, I worked in manufacturing workshops, gaining valuable hands-on experience that continues to influence my appreciation for craftsmanship, materials, and the process of construction.

I studied Architecture International in West Yorkshire, where my education extended far beyond the classroom. The programme provided opportunities to experience architecture and culture in countries including Morocco, Germany, the United States (Arizona) and India (Mumbai), shaping my understanding of how design responds to different places, people and ways of living. I went on to complete my BA (Hons), Diploma in Architecture International and Master of Architecture International, before qualifying as an architect.

During my career, i have worked with some of the UK’s leading architectural practices across a diverse range of sectors including residential, commercial, education, healthcare and hospitality. These experiences have allowed me to develop expertise in both the design and delivery of projects, from early concepts through to completion.

After several years in the North of England, I relocated to London to broaden my experience within one of the world’s most dynamic architectural environments. I initially joined a design-and-build practice as an Associate, where I gained invaluable experience delivering bespoke residential, hospitality and commercial projects through a fully integrated design and construction process. Working directly with clients and contractors gave me a practical understanding of how successful projects are realised.

I later joined PLP Architecture, where I led multidisciplinary teams delivering a range of prestigious developments, including luxury residential schemes in Mayfair, a 36-storey residential tower in West London, a major headquarters building in the City of London, and residential and commercial projects internationally, including Mumbai. My subsequent role at Chapman Taylor further strengthened my technical expertise, leading the delivery of detailed design packages for high-rise residential developments across the UK and overseas.

Wanting to focus on a more personal scale of architecture, I transitioned into the world of bespoke high-end residential design, working on carefully crafted homes throughout Central London, including St John’s Wood, Hampstead and Mayfair. Here, my passion for architecture and interior design comes together, allowing me to create thoughtful, elegant spaces tailored to the way each client lives.

I believe great design begins by listening. Every project starts with understanding the people who will inhabit it—their aspirations, routines and vision for the future. My role is to translate those ideas into beautifully considered spaces that are timeless, functional and crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

For me, the most rewarding part of the process is seeing clients experience their completed home for the first time. Knowing that I have helped shape a place where memories will be made is what continues to inspire my work every day.

About Me

I believe that the best projects are built on strong relationships. Taking the time to get to know my clients beyond the brief helps establish trust, encourages collaboration, and creates a more enjoyable and rewarding design journey. While professionalism remains at the heart of every project, a genuine connection often leads to the most meaningful and successful outcomes.

Therefore, here is a little bit about me…

I have practised Kyokushin Karate since the age of six, and it continues to be a significant part of my life. Over the years, it has taught me far more than physical strength and technical ability. The principles of discipline, humility, respect, perseverance, and resilience have shaped both my personal life and my professional approach to architecture.

My journey has taken me from competing at national and international level to coaching the England team and establishing my own dojo as Chief Instructor. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, communication, and mentoring skills—qualities that naturally translate into the way I lead design teams, collaborate with consultants, and work closely with clients.

Outside of architecture and karate, I enjoy spending time outdoors and embracing new challenges. Whether it’s snowboarding, skiing, longboarding, or scuba diving, I enjoy activities that encourage exploration, creativity, and continuous learning. Equally important are the quieter moments—travelling with my wife, spending time with family and friends, and appreciating the balance that these experiences bring to everyday life.

I believe that great design is ultimately about people. The experiences we have, the relationships we build, and the environments we create all shape the way we live. That philosophy underpins every project I undertake, with the aim of designing spaces that are thoughtful, timeless, and deeply personal to those who use them.
